I wondered the same thing a few years back.  As I was traveling the great United States I came across a guy who worked at a buffet.  He had told me he was from Brazil.  He had told me that he came here because of the freedoms we have here.  He told me that his father was very wealthy there and that his father was very upset that he left.  He said that he came here all by himself and got a job at the buffet.  He said within 6 months he was able to send for his fiancee who was still in Brazil.  At the time she was 7 months pregnant and not working.  He had 3 jobs here.  He said that he loved this country so much more than where he was from.  That he would rather live in his apartment with little money than to live back in Brazil where his father had a "mansion" and servants to work for him.  He said he can't understand why people who are born here don't appreciate what they have.  Then he said they would appreciate it if they lived any place else. \n  Just for the hour I were there, I came to understand how great this nation really is.  The state I was in of all places was Ohio.  I laugh when I think back to that day back in 2001.  I can't believe it's already been 5 years.  I sure hope he is doing well.  He's a very intriguing man with a lot of knowledge.  After that day I wish I could only thank him for changing my views of this world.

Personally, no.  But I've had quite a few friends who have gone.  I'd recommend it. I wish I had gone, but was into travelling.\nAnyway, they offer some good courses, you can learn a trade you can get into when you leave, you earn money while you're there. After you "graduate", the money you've earned is given to you in a lump-sum check to get you started, like renting an apartment, etc.

I couldn't go to Australia (Kids and dogs) But!!! I did go abroad for 3 years before doing the marriage and kids bit) And it was the best thing ever (For me) Because it gave me an opportunity to discover a new country, different lifestyles also made me realise how much of a home bird i really was! Appreciate my family and friends a lot more. II loved my three years away, came back a different person, far more self-assuming than i was before and, looking back, i'm glad i did! Had i not done it i'd probably regret it today!\n\nI did have my blue days when i would miss my family and friends badly but then ... I made new friends and came back with so much to tell! And it was the happiest reunion ever!

Isn't that funny, i was asking myself the same thing. I assume that most have never travelled abroad and experienced the world beyond their own back yard. Call it ignorance. But I do agree that there are people out there who don't know that there is a whole world of opinions and ideals that are waiting to be explored. By the way, explore some of the questions in politics and you will discover that there are a considerable amount of people who are questioning their present government in the US.

If you're asking about the emmigration policy, India allows any adult citizen to emmigrate as long as they have a legal passport and a visa for the country they wish to visit.

I'm not. I was born in Alberta, Canada when my mom was visiting her sister who lived there. I was practically born on the plane. But a week or so after I was born we flew to our real home in Chicago, Illinois. Right now I live in the Philippines though.

The average adult knows anywhere from 40-50,000 words. I doubt anyone could learn to speak a foreign language better than a native without having lived there. You can't grasp all the nuances of a language without being immersed in their culture.

From where I'm from people have to come to the US to secure a better future for themselves.  This was the case for my mother.  She had me in Mexico and had a pretty good job and everything else she needed, but she knew she would never move up.  She wanted better so when she was about 22 or 23 she left everything behind except for me, a little bit of money,  and the clothes on her back and crossed into the United States illegally.  Now 20 years later.  We have a home thats paid for she started a restaurant after working hard for 10 years and she became a US citizen and learned english.  When we got here we barely had very little money and no place to stay at to begin with.  No family no nothing.  So if my mom managed so can you.  Especially since you dont have children.  If you want to do it it can be done.  Get your education first of all and dont worry about marrying too soon.

A friend of mine is Native American and it was crazy when he decided to relocate to New York of all places. There was a lot of turmoil between him and his family because of course they were against it. He asked me what i thought of his decision and i told him to follow his heart. I told him that if relocating and getting out in the world on his own would make him happy then by all means do it. I told him that his family might not approve of it at first but they will always be his family. They will come around sooner or later. He relocated and got a job working as a journalist for Teen Vogue, his family ultimately realized that he was following his dream and everything worked out for the best. This is my advice to you too, follow your heart. If you want to relocate and become independent then don't let anyone hold you back. They will come around in the end when they see what you have accomplished.

I agree with you.  Three of my grandparents were born in Europe...two in non-English speaking countries..  My mother's parents both learned to speak English.  My mother never learned how to speak their languages...German and Swedish.  \n\nYou asked, "If you love your native country so much, then why did you leave?"  To that I would add a second question...."Why don't you go back?"
