DV 2013 winners from Uganda, please holla!

Thx for this Wendogg. I have friends and family in NYC and NewJersey. I think I will end up in NewJersey where my family is. In which state are you Wendogg?

I'm in California. Best place to be (depending who you ask of course !)
 
definitely

This would be stuck between a rock & a hard place.

I have relatives in NYC but I would prefer to move southwards due to better weather & moderate cost of living.

Never before..

Hmmm...less fear,more anxious,greatest hope:D:D

What's ur take on life in the US?


Good to hear Obeezyb.

Definitely striking it out on your own would be like getting stuck between a rock and a hard place, but hey, not everyone knows somebody who can help.

My take on life in the US ? I can write several paragraphs of an answer, but to keep it short, I absolutely love it here. Its not all good, definitely I think anybody that thinks the US is "paved with gold" would be thinking foolishly, but maybe in comparison to a lot of other places it might seem like that. I've lived in a couple of different places, most recently the United Kingdom before coming here, and I can say without any hesitation that live here is so much better.

There's lots of opportunities, you just need to be smart/wise about how you go about the possibilities. Its also easy to get crushed if you're the kind thats gullible to everything they see and hear. But then again, America is also that place that'll give you that next chance to rise up to the top quickly. Again, because of opportunities.

I love the multi-cultural feel of a lot of the big cities. There's people of every kind of race and background. Its a shame that some pick on those differences to try to put others down so that they can lift themselves up. Not all places are multi-cultural/ethnic, not even some you would think are big so would natural be that way, but at least my favorate cities in America are, and I'd live there given the right opportunity and time.

I could go on and on, but instead of boring you with details you might not be interested in, I'd rather answer any specific are you really would want my take on. If thats cool with you.

How nice. Are you planning to start acting? LoL! Am told people do so many crazy things in California just to get noticed by some scouts in the movie industry. Is that true?
