Because I could.

Meh, with out any details, bit pointless for a paper this, but you can probably search the forums for plenty of stories, and even read the articles from people based in the US and get in contact with those people via pm to ask questions...don't want to do all your work for you and all that...

We needed to move to a country where my daughter could go to the local school and it would be taught in English since we couldn't afford the private international schools where we lived before.
And my husband was pretty sick of living there too, but I refuse to move back to the UK.
It turned out to be the best move we ever made and our lives could not be happier than they are now.

"Why did you move to America?"

It's a question I ask myself frequently when the temperature is 110F in the shade and the humidity is creeping up the scale.

Yes it was a hot one today in CA. It got up to 95F today in the shade in Santa Monica. The San Fernando Valley must have been miserable as it's 10 - 15 degrees hotter than by the beach
