Re: no green card lotto in UK..Why?

I thought this would apply but the taxes in West Orange were outrageous while the local high school was mediocre.

Re: Where to Vacation?

Seconded, especially St George's.

Cuba and the Domincan Republic are also fascinating if you like culture and colonial architecture to go with your beaches. Though with Cuba you'd really need to...

Re: Florida shooting

Hungerford was before Dunblane. Cumbria was EIGHT YEARS AGO. When will you wannabe-Yanks get it? Guns are rejected by society in most advanced countries for a very good reason.

I noticed all your negatives (apart from daycare) while visiting NYC before I moved. I previously lived in W London and most applied there too.

Re: Stuck at a cross roads

Re: Engineering student looking to move to Hawaii?

On the bright side, America (like most countries) has a real shortage of engineers and I doubt getting sponsored will be a huge challenge. The only issue would be availability of work in Hawaii.

I've met a few sad types who f'd up their entire careers just to live here. God knows why. In a couple cases they remained relentlessly upbeat about the land of opportunity etc. I've even seen a few...

Re: Should we stay (UK) or should we go (USA)

Re: Things you like about the US

That must have indeed been many years ago since flights haven't landed downtown (the old Kai Tak) since 1998. I heard you were close enough to see into people's apartments on the approach.
