So, what's your gameplan, Distressed? Are you down there or over there just because your Dad died and you needed to be with your family for a while? Or did you plan to move there permanently? I hope not, since you really seem not to like it. Why not move back here? If you spent most of your life here you're more American than not. You're more comfortable with American ideas and ways of thinking and talking about things. Why stay in a country in which you feel yourself a real stranger? Good luck and take care!
