So Long
I am interested in how much time you have spent in the United States and in what parts? The Americans seem fairly well acquainted with international travel, investment and education. My wife did her Masters Degree at Macquarie University in 1989. She was a Rotary Foundation full scholar and gained her graduate degree at 21.
The Americans didn't know me from a bar of soap, gave me an opportunity on a handshake and allowed me to make my fortune. I didn't go to a special school, learn a secret handshake or sell my soul to anyone.
Some people find that all very bewildering on these forums but it used to happen all the time in another place too; that place was Australia!
