I am interested to know how Americans who have lived in the UK find life there. I am British but lived in the USA for most of my life and I find life in England to be brutally boring and dull. The people are rude and distant, the food is tasteless, and for how much history there is here people seem uncultured and lazy. The number 1 social activity is going to the pub. There is nothing for kids to do so they just roam the streets when everything shuts at 6pm. And the accents in some regions are ridiculous sounding. I am planning on spending one more year here to get my Masters and then I'm leaving.

I loved the UK, but ran out of money...
I miss the history behind every stone etc.
Probably Sydney, Australia or Melbourne... somewhere near the south/east coast of Australia. Of course I've never been there.. but its just a place I've always wanted to visit and if I had to pick outside the US I'd pick there.
I would like to live in some semi-remote area of Australia or other large country that's stable and well-off but has much less people than the U.S. There aren't many of those to choose from though.
