I'm just talking about the way people act here. I know some British dudes and French and Irish. They all say the same thing. Americans are *$$!@ and its hard to meet real friends here. I could def live in France though. Dirt cheap school and a culture with a big appreciation for food.Work to live. Don't live to work.
Like what and where? Surely, you can't find a bottle of Aquafina in the middle of the Congo..
Put it this way.
If you're well off, say in the top 10%, of any country then things can be great anywhere. Especially in this hyper globalized world where everything is easily accessible.
However, if you're in that bottom 90% then the US is the best place to be. There are plenty of things currently wrong in this country but I'm not going to front like there are better places if you aren't in that top class.
It can be something as small as not being able to get a $1 coke in Europe (that !!@@ will cost you 3 times as much) to something as big as the everyday low level/ high level corruption that permeates Greek society.
