Since this wasn’t apparent the last time I asked… no, I’m actually not a US citizen or green card holder (permanent resident). Just happened to be in this country for a long time due to career reasons.

    Obviously this is entirely dependent on where you’re moving to, but I struggled to find the following when living abroad:

    • good (American-style) pizza
    • good Mexican food
    • good BBQ
    • certain ice cream flavors (like cherries jubilee/cherry garcia)
    • wide open spaces completely devoid of people
    • large-group events of a boisterous and goofy nature
    • certain types of museums/educational facilities (such as good zoos/wildlife rehab open to the public and interactive science museums)

      You will not find good bbq. Take the L and move on…

      You will find the greatest cuisine ever witnessed on this planet depending on your taste.

      A clay pot in Morocco, a grandma’s house in Toledo, a random eel cooked up in Tunisia…

      Just as good as byob bbq in Austin TX.

      Your first three sum up to:

      • Italian food but worse
      • Mexican food but worse
      • Food that’s probably better in most other places

      I think OP is set on those in the future, but otherwise good recommendations IG
