What is America like?

What is America like?
We are moving to America! To some state called California. I'm so excited! My parents have finally gotton the citizenship things taken care of after like 5 or 6 years but I can't wait. I live in Argentina, but my family wants to move to America to start over. I have heard all about America. Does it really have all these different kinds of foods and people can say what they want and when they want? Although I can't wait, I have also heard that America is somewhat violent and a lot of the people are stuck up or not as friendly. A lot of my friends say Americans care about no one but themselves. I don't care though. I just can't wait to move there and see the country and meet the people and finally get to try some of that food! So if any of you live in America, what's it like? What are the schools like? Are people really as rich as everyone says they are? Is it easy to make money there? Do you like living there?

Make sure you get health insurance! Good luck to you in America, I wish you and your family the best but it is beyond extremely important you find health insurance. I don't live in America, family does though, they are happy, not rich but have done well. All i can say is good luck and find health insurance asap!

The United States of America spans a huge land area and the regions are as diverse as can be imagined. We have every season and every type of person. We are known as the land of the free and home of the brave and also as the world's melting pot (meaning we have every different nationallity represended in our boarders).

There's a lot of people who do nothing but watch T.V. and play video games all day. Make sure you find something else to do.

Believe me pal do not make any perception about anyone or anyplace otherwise you will do the mistake of judging people before even knowing them. You can find good people anywhere. Because goodness is everywhere; you just have to search for it. Wait until you can answer this entire question by yourself. Just think that if this place was really violent and full of selfish people then why would your parent be interested in taking you there… Just think.

It's not like TV. I can't tell you how many foreigners think we all look like Baywatch and drive Mercedes. It's not true. A large percentage of us don't even have basic health care. The water is safe to drink though. But it's hard to summarize in a brief answer what America is like. The country is massive and the people are diverse. From what I hear from foreigners is that they do overall find us to be very friendly and helpful people. It's all that collective retail experience I think =)

Wow... that's a lot to cover. America can be a great place to live. I don't know much about where you live and how its different. California is on the west side of America. People can say what they want when they want to say it but you sort of should be careful about that. I mean you can cuss someone out on the street but if they have a gun.... just be careful. There are many stuck up people but there are also a lot of friendly people as well. School can be good or really bad depending on the school. There are normally like 25 or 30 people in a class. I like living here. We have our problems but overall, its a good place to live. Some people are quite rich. But others live on the streets. Fashion wise, a lot of people wear jeans and t-shirts or polo shirts. Here are some good websites to check out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California http://www.globalcomputing.com/states.html Email me sebster64@yahoo.com and let me know how things go. Please email.

You should be excited. While America is a wonderful place, some bad things happen here too! It's just like there is good and bad in everybody. Some people are stuck up, but not all. Choose your friends wisely and you will never regret moving here. Good luck!

Well the fact is that America is by far the greatest country in the world. Any trip to Europe will assure you of this.

America is great but dont get me wrong, we have problems just like everyone else. Poor people, rude people just like you can find in any other country. But yes it is ture, you can say what you want when you want with some limits. The food is great! You can have mexican, american and chinese food all on the same street. Basically its a good country but you have to realize that we all have our flaws.

Why its land of the brave and home of the free.... feel free to laugh if you'd like America is filled with imperialist swine feeding of the blood of its hard working citizens slowing eating them at the core and draining them of their money. They are eliminating our middle class, our health care is serious declining and such a pain to afford. Let's see, oh yeah we oppress the rights of whichever group we deem "immoral" and lots of rednecks who eat themselves into a fat, ignorant world of bliss live here

Well, maybe you should start by learning geography :) Because you are already living in America. Maybe it is excusable by lack of knowledge from us citizens who are not aware that there is 35 countries in America, or understandable from a few us citizens who just don´t care about respecting millions of other peoples living in these countries. And that is one major thing that you might find in USA, lack of respect coming from lots of people who see immigrants as some kind of lower-life human being... Fortunately, there is more of them who are warm and welcoming, but either way, you will have to deal with racism comming from a few stateans (or us citizens). I personally enjoy going to the united states, but for pleasure only. I am from a rich country, (of course not as rich as the United States) Canada, and I feel that I would not be able to have the same quality of life in the Usa. Why ? - Crime rates are high - Justice system is a total disaster - I would not want to be part of a country who practice torture - I would not want to be part of a society where death penalty still exist. - Disparity between riches and poors are EXTREME ( you can live in worst conditions then your coutry, since communities are not as strong as third world country). - Lot of racism (need proofs ? Read some answers to your question (ex. STAY HOME that received more thumbs up then thumbs down ! ) That said, on the part of it´s citizens, I can not judge overall ! You will encounter many great people, and lots of great adventures and experiences.
