I'm still happy here.. So far I can pick my nose without the swat team decending.. I did get yelled at by security for taking photos of myself at a casino last year.. I think they just didn't like transvestites.. Though the took my money for sure!! Lol.
Arghhhh! How did they dare? Were you in the US or in Europe? In Italy not only you can still pictures of public buildings (with all that art around the country, tourism industry would die if they came out with such a law), but people just adore tansvestives. We have a lot of tv shows led by transvestives, there is more fun, humor, intelligence. If you were in a protestant state like Penna, I believe it's an army macho issue (My former American husband was a big shot in the Navy, where sexism and homophobia run wild..). If I were to move anywhere the Provence (southern France) would still be my first choice but, as I love nature and big, underpopulated places, Oregon or Washington State would be perfect for me, as well as Norther California, from Frisco going norht (exception: Santa Barbara, a jewel of a town). People are more relaxed about religious or sexual preferences. Live and let live.

Also where in England do you live?
Since moving from Scotland ive become a party animal turned into a reclusive loner, just dont fit in here, Im in Warwickshire for work reasons, I cant wait to be back in the Homeland again!
In my case, it was the constantly glooomy weather more than anything else... I did love the people, I was there all alone for only three months and already making loads of friends. I discovered with great pleasure that English people are nice and friendly and fun to be with, not a bit of racism towards Italian, on the contrary, I was seeked as being some kind of exotic friend to have (and possibly cook
). The weather, my gloomy flat, I was missing my son, that's what made me come back. East Kent is not fantastic in terms of what it has to offer but I saw other parts of Kent and England that make you want to live there forever. Scotland is way too beautiful to be true, my boss is from Glasgow, I love their impossible accent )!) and when I viisited I felt like the people were even more friendly than the English! I felt at home. I even ate haggies, which is an act of bravery for an Italian
Still, the weather...
