    I am planning to move to England in a few years, after I am done with my school here. Can you guys tell me great things about it?

    P.S. I will be the first person in my family to go back to England. We have been in America since the 1600's.

    Ooh, here's a handy hint. If someone says they're 20 yrs old and still at school then they sound silly over here. School finishes at 16, after which we have college and university. School in the UK is very much considered to be for children (although just to conufuse you, we have universities call such things as "The London School of Economics"..... but of course people who attend there would never dream of saying they were still at school!).

    My story is really sad. I have been to Alabama, Florida, North and South Carolina and Virgina. Never outside the Southern States or on an airplane.

    Is it true that 55% of the USA population don't have a passport, and some significant number can't point to their own country on a world map?

    Rome, eh? I've got a friend going out to do the 3rd year of her maths degree over there.

    Ha cazzo ragione! (come gli scousers dicono qui in Inghilterra).

    I don't have a passport. Alot of americans don't. Only those who travel alot have one.
    We all can point to our country on the map though, It's the country sandwiched between Canada and Mexico.
