I have to admit, as much as I love to whine and complain about my homeland, it certainly does have some very good sides to it, both it terms of culture and society. I imagine that lots of people would long to have them in their own countries and societies. I've often wondered about living abroad; I always knew I'd miss Britain after a while, so as I now reside in the U.S. (for now...), I expect to feel the first twangs of homesickness in a month or two. That's not to say we don't have faults either, god knows we have them by the lorry-load, but we're very quick to dismiss our own positives in the UK.
