Actually I'm thinking of a new sub idea for this thread.
It should only be open to people whose country flag is not the US but whose location flag is.
You can then post some experiences along the lines of:
Currently I am in the state of.....(eg NewYork, California)
When I came here I was expecting .....(eg drive by shootings, police everywhere, streets paved with gold, military all over the place)
But the reality is .....(more potholes than gold, not much police, have yet to see an F15 nevermind an F22)
This place is pretty nice because of...
But this place sucks because of...
I'm still here because....(this is optional as it is not our business)......and my chances of going back in about .....years are probably.....%.
You can write more than just the above.
Then most important..at the end you pass it on to somebody else you have seen here with a US flag as the location.
