I am sure either the US or the UK would be a better place with Jose Ribas da Silva living there.
In VA, I found interesting things. For instance, musical scene (metal, electronic, hip hop, alternative rock small and local bands), very hot alternative women, very hot shemales as well. I had so much fun there, good memories, LSD was clean and cheap, weed was expensive, but it was a high quality one. Beers were terrible man, I don't know the rest of the US, but in VA they need better beers in the bars. There were bars with good beers, of course. Cocaine was a joke, fucking expensive and horrible quality. In addition, I earned a lot of money, I need to admit, the US is the best place to make money (congratulations), but the work rights are strange. I will give an example.
If you gain more than a certain amount, if I remember well something like R$ 47,500 per year, overtime pay does not need to be made, obligatorily. It is something that need to be accorded among the parts.
Other point: if my paid time off is 30 days, and I will call this period "vacations", in quotes, because it is not a true vacation, and eventually I get sick, in possession of a medical certificate for a leave absence, the period that I am out of my work because I am ill will be discounted of my vacations. What the hell!
The bars there cannot sell beers after 1 am, at night there are nothing to do, pretty boring.
So my menu in the US was LSD, weed, heavy metal and sex with persons of doubtful reputation.
