Not many people are blessed with to be able to pick a best place to live. For most of us, its either US or Nepal. Knowing it very well Nepal is our homeland and we love it dearly, I have picked US. Why? Hard work usaully yield good results here. I can visit Nepal whenever I want to (at least once a year if I desire), conversely, by choosing to live and work in Nepal I can't always do that. Secondly, I don't want to raise my family in a place without Law and Order. My friends family were attacked at home by robbers in Nepal and there was no help from police. Police themselves are running for their lives, forget about protecting you and me. Next thing is healtcare. In Nepal we get blessing from our elders saying longlive, if you live in the US, you've got longer life than if you live in Nepal (of course, in conjuction with diet and exercise). Then comes education for you and your kids. There was a long thread floating around in Sajha with comparison of education in Nepal and US. My $0.02.
