You have to consider the pros and cons. The cons: you’d be farther away from your dental floss in Montana, and you’d be much closer to me.

My friend says the people are really nice there, and that some speak English. He says the food is really good too. -------------------It sounds suspiciously like California. I think you should wait until you get a real offer to relocate to America.

She is a trooper. A devoted guitar player and an excellent soccer player. Her parents invited me to one of her matches, and I went and watched. She is quick and competitive.

Personally, I say stay where you are and don't move to that Georgia. I think you would miss what you have here too much. If it were someplace else like where I lived in Riga, Latvia, I would have said if you want to go you'll love it because you can live a laid-back unstressed life but you also have to know how you can live there legally. I am both a US and Latvian citizen.

@TheHorse California is a great state if you like to hand over your entire paycheck to the government, walk around poop and piss in the streets, and pay a half a million dollars for a 10 square foot shed.
