how are you looking to compare the two countries? What is important to you?

NO!

And by "NO", obviously I mean "YES!"

Yet again, you win the award for most pointless, open-ended question Smurtaza. Congratulations.

The first language of the majority being English is crucial to me, so the choice is obvious.

Love it here in the US. Have never been to Aus. so can't really comment, although I wouldn't consider living there as it is too far away from the UK for friends/family to travel regularly to see us and us visit them, but we would like to visit for a vacation. :)

The USA is OK (I live there.) But, Rachel Griffiths is from Australia so it must be a pretty good country...:wub:

Well on a scale of 1-10 I'd give where I live in the US a 5, maybe a 6. Can't compare it to Oz though as I've never been there, like Lisa and Mallory wouldn't consider living there but wouldn't mind a visit...

WOW! Vague question really. It depends what you consider important. I have never lived in Oz (except as a baby, that doesn't count). The US is huge, so we all kinds of weather here. We have big cities, small towns, beach, mountains etc. Crowded or deserted? Be more specific and maybe we can help. On the whole ( and ignore all the moaning I do) the US is not a bad place to live. There are many good things to living here. Great opportunities to make a career (for myself, I struggled in the UK to make it and here I have done very well for myself). I could go on. Be more specific and we can help you.

Hi,

People are struggling to make a career in OZ.The salaries are low and its a deserted place.

Thanks

Speak for yourself - I have no problem finding a job in australia and my salary is almost identical to the US equivalent (although my COL is less here as I live in Pittsburgh -v- Sydney).

Deserted? I think you've been watching too many movies.

Why don't you frickin' move already, since you dislike australia so much? I thought you were going to dubai?
