I am actually back in my country right now and I got a job offer and place to stay. For some of you, Dreamies, underestimate other countries by discussing quality of life. From my experience here, quality is all the same. I go out club and meet different people without worries. Technoloy in my country is even advanced than in the US, and I have adapted to it almost 80%. I am still confused with some traffic lights and zones, but many people are kind enough to teach me what they are.

As many people are saying, think outside the box. You really don't know what is going on around the world when you personally do not experience it.

And you are where?

I am in Seoul, South Korea.
Discussing about standard of living is a bulls**t.
I don't know why people are thinking many other countries are living in 60's or 70's style, because the reality isn't.
I have been quite amused with technologies and culture developed in South Korea. It is not like what many pessimistic Dreamies have speculated, according to their imagination and research through secondary sources.
I have lived in LA for two years by myself to make money to go back to Korea and I had to live in a house that had 14 people stuck together, sharing 2 bathrooms. Cockroaches were everywhere, but I have endured all that.
So, here I am in South Korea, in my own studio apartment, where I can demand my basic rights and achieve my goal.
The point is...wherever you go, you will find a mean and have a decent life there, because you guys are smart enough to figure out the way.

Ehhh.. Give me a call when China has an economy 3.5x the size of the US's. Sure, they may be creeping up there with a high GDP, but don't forget that they have a billion people up there. As a result, the GDP per capita is merely a third of what it is in the US. GDP per country look nice, but GDP per capita is a much better indicator of the quality of life. Look at these countries : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...%29_per_capita and tell me where you'd like to live.

A lot of these Dreamers has this "US is superior" idea in their minds like many uninformed Americans.

If you resort to complaining rather than adapting then you are definitely not a Dreamer.

Sure America is the sh!t but its not allll that...

Lucky for you. My citizenship is from the Philippines and quality of there won't be as nice as your country in about 10-15 years. That's the estimate anyway. I actually know a lot of people from the Philippines choosing to immigrate here. Actually just about everyone I went to school with over there would prefer to abandon our country for greener pastures.
