I was eating lunch with my Cameroonian colleague who referred to America as a "Big Scam". He said it is no nicer here than any other part of the world. He said infrastructure and buildings in other countries is developing and getting nicer as the years pass, but in America it is staying the same. He said in other countries it is common for people to pay off their houses in a couple of years, but he can't in America even with his good job.
I thought hearing a foreigner describe America as a "Big Scam" was very interesting. He came here from Africa thinking his life would improve, but after living here he feels as though he as been scammed. By the way, like me he is also having trouble dating women here (he goes for American blacks, who reject him).
