Expats Around The World What Do You Like And Dislike About Your New Country?

Living in America has me thinking  about this all the time.

I Don't think i hate anything abt america.

Maybe when i think deep tho. But that does not mean i don't miss Nigeria.

America has great economic opportunities. But, after living here for most of my life it is still hard to find a nice intergrated town with good schools for my children.  Racism is always an issue. Even finding a good intergrated church is a major problem.  In America we have stuff but community is hard to find.  It is just every man for himself.

Vichel, 

I  am sad more people don't know anything about Africa. I think this fact affects how us as Black people feel about ourselves.

I did not know how nice Africa was until I met an  African college student  who was my sister's class mate.  She was from Nigeria.  I was impressed when I saw pictures of the town she came from in Africa.  It looked like Jamaica or Florida.   Because we don't ever get any info about Africa other than crisis photos I had no clue how beautiful Africa was. I hope that will change in the near future.  Maybe Hollywood will work in Africa for movies and TV shows to change our image.  Hollywood could use some new story lines.  Their usual movies and TV shows are kinda played out .

@hotstepper,
I may have some Nigerian ancestors that I don't know about. But I am Jamaican-American.  I like Nairaland better than the Jamaican  Forums I have visited.  Nigerians seem to have alot in common with Jamaicans. Maybe alot of Jamaican slaves came from Nigeria. I have no info about the Nigerian Jamaicn connection.

Hotstepper thanks for making me feel welcomed in Nairaland.

Vichel ,
Thank you.
