| StarOcean said: The US is pretty nice. Not nearly as bad as the internet may have you believe. Its not too unlike the UK (where you are seemingly from) but naturally it has its fair share of differences. The east coast is more like the UK in terms of culture than the west coast (where I'm at). Personally I prefer the more laid back nature of the west than the more business minded east. But I'm sure you'll like it! But you're in the NY/NJ area, so watch out for bad drivers  |
I've spent too many hours (days? weeks?) of my life defending the US on the Internet. It's been a dream of mine since I first landed in Florida 9 years ago. I've spent quite a lot of time in NYC and Florida since (typically about a month per year), so I know quite a bit about what's going on.
Certainly much more than what I knew about Hong Kong before moving here, only research I had done was watching the Rush Hour movies.
I actually find NYC to be very laid back, I find it relaxing to visit :P But then I've been living in the constant-heart-attack of HK.
