[QUOTE="wannable alpha, post: 1122584, member: 12422"] I am an Indian living in India and I have lived in America for a few years as well. And from what I have seen, it very much depends on the person and not the location that makes a person happy or at least content in life. An introvert in India or anywhere else is going to be an introvert in the west as well, while a social butterfly will be able to have a good friend circle and dating options no matter where he is living. The thing I miss about living in a first world country - good infrastructure, efficient bureaucracy and law & order. As far as work is concerned, there is a rat race everywhere. Let me put it to you this way - John in medium-city America goes to work in a car and sits in a cubicle all day doing stuff on his computer. He hopes to get a decent raise so that he can move into a bigger house or buy a big TV. Jai in India goes to work on a motorcycle (because that is what he can afford) and sits in a row of PCs where there is no privacy of any kind and does stuff on his computer. He hopes to get a decent raise so that he can move into a bigger apartment or buy a hatchback car. As for food, I don't know about other countries, but in India farmers use all sorts of pesticides and the organic stuff is quite expensive as well as being limited in options. People in the west have no idea how comfortable their life is since they are not doing an apples to apples comparison. I can write a lot more on this if the OP or anyone else is interested. [/QUOTE]
