Been to KFC yet? They don't have chips, they have 'biscuits' which look like minature hard scones. Arby's was kinda weird, ate a fair bit of Taco Bell cos they have infinitely more things on the menu than what they do here.

I used to wonder if I could get a job there, but then they went through that big dot com bust and I gave up on it. Not sure what they are like for J2EE jobs (I'm more dev management than a programmer now though.)

IT industry here is BOOMING....they are screaming for just about everyone and anything, its why I am here, and with the Salary's been thrown around, MY god, I cant imagine why anyone would say no....not to point out too much...but 6 figure salary's as a starting base in USD!! plus up to (well for me) 45% bonus a year with 25% of that almost guaranteed! You compare that to home and take into account the cost of living and everything else, you can live either like Kings/Queens over here, or bank a serious amout of money to bring home in x years...We are somewhere in between that one lol.
