This is why it might be best, if one were forced to return to the USA, to choose a village in Maine or New Hampshire where one has never lived, or even visited. After 50 years in East Asia, and some time in SE Asia, it might not be possible to adjust, knowing that Asia is probably better than anything the USA now has to offer. But, I think I could enjoy the old building of a place like WATERVILLE, MAINE...for example. I would not want anything to upscale because all the NYC YUPPIES would give me headaches every day. ( mean, it looks like it hasn't changed much since 1907. The secret is to look for a place where most young Americans refuse to live. Why would I want to live with young Americans, (basically aliens to me), anyway?
