[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up in Eastern European country and came to US in my early 20s. Now I'm 50. I also lived in Western Europe for 2 years before I came to US. I still like US better for the following reasons:
1. USA is a very dynamic country, it has that energy that European countries are missing; opportunities are much better if you are ambitious and hard working- you'll succeed much faster here
2. People here are much more open, friendlier, funny, easy going
3. Lots of people from all over the world ( especially in DC/Northern Virginia)
4. Shopping is so much more fun and cheaper, maybe not now anymore, because the quality went downhill a lot for the last 10 years
5. Less bureaucracy
6. You can choose to live in a colder or hot climate within the same country which was impossible in my country.

As a first generation immigrant, after my first initial hard work and dedication, I proudly say, that I obtained bachelor's degree, got government job, have house ( paid off), and no debt. Yes, I'm married and my spouse brings money too, so that helps. I travel to visit my family in Europe, go cruising and have a good life. I'm not denying that this country has no issues, but just remember that every country has some issues.

But you are comparing life with Eastern Europe. Western Europe is very different in terms of wealth, income and open society. Comparing Hungary or Poland or Bulgaria with Switzerland, Austria or Germany is a joke.[/quote]
