It also seems like there is a LOT of beautiful wonderful things to see in your country.
As I've researched I've found so many differences between the UK and US... especially in the area of social programs. Here in the US, the quality of the school district will vary from town to town which is proportional to the property taxes. Like if you want to move to another area, you investigate the school district to see what kind of education your child will get.
Thank you so much I may actually take you up on that :) I actually hate looking certain things up. When I stumbled on the UK government page about sick leave and holiday entitlement... I freaked out. 28 days of paid holiday is practically unheard of here. My workplace only gives 14 days, and only after 5 years of employment. One of my coworkers just left on maternity leave but it is unpaid. Many of us have been working for this place for years and have yet to receive a single pay rise.
Oopse, you went on your ramble and I went on mine :) haha, sorry! Disgruntled, overworked American employee :(
