You could rephrase that to say that most do.

did you really just say delivery? In Egypt I can call up the grocery store and have them delivery a 2 liter pepsi in 20 min. Same applies to McD's and every fast food restaurant, Pharmacy's, Grocery stores, etc

Most places are open here on Sundays. The hours are reduced, but still, that's probably true in the US as well. The UK is the same.

Far as I can tell, the only legitimate reason for being unable to live outside the US your home country is that you'd be away from family/friends.

those giving the excuse of not knowing any other langauge is a bogus reason if you ask me. any reasonably intelligent (IQ > 90) person can learn a new language in a few months to years, depending on the person's language and the new language.

and if your native language is english, and you are moving to a country where the main language is written in latin characters, then that cuts down one of the most difficult things about learning a new language: reading and writing.

pretty much any native english speaker can pick up the most common latin alphabet languages in a matter of months to a year (basic to intermediate speaking and reading).

(of course i am assuming that your job would be in an english speaking company, which is a necessity for you to get out there and start earning money)

^its true. all my colleagues here pretty much know all the languages (english, spanish, german, some french) just from working w/ the mix of people over the course of a few years. and i mean like fluently, theyre jibber jabbering over here in all sorts of languages. i'm such a dumb american
