Default USA/Australia
so, I'd like an unbiased opinion please (someone out of these countries OR someone who've seen both of'em^^!) Which one is the best to live and work? can U make money equally in both? how are people in general in both? weather? Nature? Cities? (I like the fast-paced cities, big cars and patriotic side of america but pple tell me Oz is better for health care, work situation, etc...=) so honestly...WHAT WOULD YOU REALLY CHOOSE TO LIVE (not to go on holiday, in that case I take both! but can't obviously live in both at the same time!)

PS- I'm French, are French appreciated in these?

Hi, I'm also French and went to both countries
I would vote for the USA by far!
- Wayy more job opportunities
- Wayy less racism
- Lower cost of living
but Oz has better healthcare.

Have you got proof of that? Just curious, would have thought the U.S especially the south had more racism that Australia.

Where I was in Australia, I found them very unaccepting of immigrants (exp asians, arabish, ...).
I never felt that in the US.

Ah ok, I have family in Perth, Australia and the people seem very friendly to immigrants there. Sorry you had a bad experience.

Thanks for the info too.
