Going soon. Any suggestions?

1a. It's true. In general Americans are damn big. In a bad way.  1b.Which brings me here. Just by being fit/not huge, women are way more attractive 2a. The US is ultra competitive on every level. In some ways it's great; competition among businesses. In some ways bad; competition among peers. ...

So a new person moved into my department and I've never encountered a personality like this. Maybe I've just been lucky. This person just hates it when others are happy. It's quite funny at first but after a while it just gets annoying and you seriously want to smash a brick into their face...

People are huge and if they're not huge they're big.  Where'd all the normal sized/in shape people go?  Can't people stop stuffing their faces for a few minutes?  Your genetics force you to carry a few more pounds? OK, sounds reasonable.  Your genetics force you to be ******g huge? No...

So... I went into a place to get some food and in walks a "kid" (late teens/early 20's) with his mother. They start talking and soon he starts lambasting his mother in front of everyone for not being considerate of him. He must've used the word considerate more than 10 times and went on and on...

Materialism and pop culture are two distinct phenomenon but in our society they seem to be joined at the hip. I'm not even that old (mid 20's) but with every passing year, my want of discretionary material goods is less and less.  I'm kind of surprised myself. I was never too materialistic but...

I can't claim that my present position in the US is bad. In fact, I consider myself fortunate. but, if I were to go, the short list: Chile, Israel (I'm Jewish so it's always an option),  Australia, Brazil, Uruguay, South Africa, or Singapore.
