Yes, I too am thousands (Okay about 1700) miles from all my friends.
Moved from Salt Lake City, Utah to to wild and wacky town of Houston
(technically in Humble), Texas.  I keep wanting to go back to SLC, I
just don't have the nerve to do so yet.  I'd like to go back because
all my friends are there, I like the weather there much more (it's
COLD (well, currently), it's not humid, the insects aren't a mile
long).  Those are the big UGHS around here when it comes to the
environment.

Why I haven't up and just left is because I'm worried about upsetting
my parents even though they said it's okay if I go back, my dad even
plans to go back someday.  Plus there's the worry about whether or not
I can make enough money to live in an apartment and what not.  It's
just all really scary I guess.  At any rate, it's nice to see that I'm
not the only person on Lugnet (and elsewhere) who wants to "go back
home" so to speak.

Oh, another thing I don't like is the US school system. Not my cup of tea :)
If you want to debate that, go ahead. I can rant about that for a long time,
and I even have some good arguments, waiting for good use... :)

*laughs*  I'd put up an arguement but I have this horrible feeling
we'd both be agreeing. ^_^;  It'd be interesting to hear what someone
who has lived outside of the US for most of their lives would have to
say about our school system though.
