It's hard to really know for sure without experiencing them. I imagine that, depending on the situation, I'd be happy in a lot of places. Because of familiarity and all that I have no interest in moving away from the USA though. Of course that depends where in this country. I assume I get to pick. I sure as heck don't want to live in Podunk Country, USA.
I am glad to live in America, though I have littleor no expierince with foreign countries.
I will say this: America is ideally a great place because we are supposed to have a voice on the way it is run.
I hate when people say "Love it or leave it".
The whole basis for our country, our constitution is that we are able to speak out against leadership that wants to inhibit our freedom.
THe more approriate saying would be
" Love it or change it" or perhaps even better...Love it, but never stop trying to improve it"
That is why I get upset when people say I am not supportive of AMerica because I detest our current leader. IF I didnt love america, Iw ouldnt spend a great deal of time and effort trying to make sure it sticks to its one main staple...freedom. Right now, I feel freedom is being sacrifed for an effort to increase security. I feel this goes againt the basis for america.
I guess what I am trying to say is that feeling frustrated and complaining about things we do (be it a war, a bill, a shitty bi-partisan cycle that infringes on progress and independent thought)does not makie you an ungrateful american..it makes you a passionate one. Apathy is our worst enemy.

It would be nice to live somewhere warmer ... maybe Rio. I love London's culture, but can't stand that much rain. I like many of the cities in the US, but can't deal with the gun laws. Other than that, my travel experience has been too limited to speculate. I'm pretty happy in Canada, frankly.
I've never been to Australia or Costa Rica...but I'd like to give those 2 a shot as a matter of fact,I'm always daydreaming of Marlin fishing off the coast of CR with a pitcher of margaritas and a joint the size of your thumb,and listening to the Red Sox on short wave...then a little quiet time with Consualo and Maria, as they apply tan saver to a bronze god type figure that is me,as I listen to the rythym and cadence of some tropical bird....aaahhh!
