moom, you are lucky that have lived in so many different countries. so which one do you like best? They all have advantages and disadvantages. Australia is nice but is small so if you are specialized in employment etc. the opportunities are fairly limited. It is also a long way from everywhere. The US has more opportunities but mostly has horrible weather except on the West Coast and makes it hard to immigrate legitimately. Life is more pressured etc. too. In Israel I was in the unusual position of being part of the majority, but I was still an immigrant so that was kind of weird. It can feel rather claustrophobic there but if you belong to the majority ethnic group then there is a sense of belonging you won't get elsewhere. I probably rate Britain lowest though I grew up there and it has some nice things... It is a mono-ethnic society with immigrant minorities - unlike Australia and the US - so not being part of the majority makes one feel rather alienated. Housing standards etc. are poorer than in the US or Australia. I like the countryside, scenery etc. though... What part of China are you from? moom
