Here are some of my observations of living in both countries: Racism - There is no difference in the level of racism in both countries. Public services - Better in UK in terms of healthcare, and neighborhood support (e.g. public transportation) Education and finance - You have better opportunities in the US Income level - it highly depends on what you are qualified for and what you get to work. Wherever you get a decent job and secured earning live there. I don't mind having PR in any countries. By the way, the originator of the thread is gone somewhere for a long time not to respond. ehehehehehehheeh
