I live in the Uk, pretty boring place to be what exactly is it like to live there? on the tv, it seems so much fun!
The standard of living in the U.S. is higher than in most of Europe, but life is what you make of it. What you see on T.V. only represents a small sect of people. What you see on MTV is ridiculous because only the super wealthy get their own TV shows, and is thus a misrepresentation of the lifestyle in the U.S. You can do the same things in the UK as in the US. If you like to go hiking or do sports, you can do that almost anywhere and it s cheap (UK or US). If you want to spend some money, you can go to a city and go clubbing (UK and US). The main difference though, is that most American s watch (American) football instead of soccer (the original football). For some reason NASCAR is our most popular sport (which boggles my mind, because it s just cars continually driving around in 1 mile loop), I prefer watching the Le Mans race or something. There isn t anything that special about living is the US. As long as you have good friends you can make most situations fun!
LOL, things always seem more exciting on the other side. Life in America is not that much different than the UK except that we have different temptures across the county, vs in the UK the weather is almost the same all over. One good thing is that the cost of living in the US is a lot cheaper, at least by half. Truthfully unless you are in New York, LA or Miami or vegas life is no different than from the UK. I think life is more exciting in Europe since you all travel to different countries and mingle with different people. In the US most people stay within there area (their town or state) and when they go on vacation they go to another state. But in Europe you all simply hop on a train and enjoy a different country. The states is nice to visit, but it is not all what it is cracked up to be!
Life is what you make it. Seriously, it s more how you live than where. Moving across the world wouldn t make your personality change and many of our problems seem to follow us everywhere. Television is supposed to make you feel happy. You wouldn t watch something that is depressing and that is why TV is what it is, but the real world is about the same. So life itself is about the same. There are morons in every country and there are good people in every country. But surroundings are different. One of the best things about the U.S. is the public property we have. We have vast forests, national parks, beaches, rivers, etc that can be enjoyed by all for free or relatively cheap. Also, the US has a lot lower population density and therefore more public land for the sharing. We have more outdoor recreation than the UK and since we are geographically bigger, there s just more to see. Maybe not more history and buildings to see, but more country side and natural wonders to see. We have some of the best National Parks in the world and great natural wonders. We have great mountains, waterfalls, rolling hills, deserts, prairie, glaciers, islands, rivers, lakes, and great city life. We have Yellow Stone, Niagara Falls, the Florida Everglades, the Grand Canyon, Arches national park (with some of the best rock formations in the world), Yosemite national park, and Glacier National park. We have great islands (Florida Keys, Channel islands) and lakes. We have Disney World, Disneyland and other theme parks, Hawaii (with great beaches, surfing, scuba diving, volcanoes), Alaska which is truly the last frontier as far as mountains, wilderness, and wild animals untouched by human hands, etc. In the US, the west has better outdoor features and the east has more history.We have the widest canyon in the world, most active volcano in the world, the longest cave in the world, and a mountain peak topping 21,000 feet, some of the tallest buildings in the world. We have the biggest tourist destination in the world. As the melting pot, our people are some of the most diverse in the world. However, we don t have the diversity of widely used languages as Europe. We have the best television and film industries. Our industries are some of the best in the world. Though we are behind Japan when it comes to producing cars and designing technology.The US dollar is not worth as much as a pound or a Euro, and it has been losing value the last several years, but in the U.S. you can buy more with dollars than you could with the equivalent value of pounds in the UK. So exchange rate aside, cost of living is cheaper here.If you come to America, people will welcome you here. If you go to France, people will say welcome and when are you leaving? As far as recreation, we have great white water rafting, scuba diving, snorkeling, snow skiing, snow boarding, surfing, sunny public beaches, hang gliding, para gliding, base jumping, water skiing, wake boarding, hunting, fishing, hiking, camping, and museums. We don t have the really old buildings and castles that Europe has. We have good history, but it is probably not as rich as the history of the UK and the rest of western Europe. It is difficult to compare the US to the UK because of the shear size. Comparing the US to all of western Europe might be better because the land sizes would be closer.To most Americans a dream vacation would be a vacation to Europe or a Mediterranean cruise.But besides the surroundings, life is the same in the US as it is in the UK.
It is awesome because you can choose to live where you want and you have a lot of freedoms that you also have in the UK. I think one issue is that people in the US don t realize how lucky we have it even with all of the problems we have as a country.
It depends where u live.iv lived in 4 diff states.i have to say that its to cold in Michigan =P and TN is a beautiful state but dont move to Crossville.nothin to do there and its full of druggys and pregnent teens...Alabama is nice and Florida is the best..so much to do and the beaches are the best and wearing flip flops durring winter is great! lol
