A pack of 20 cigarettes in Georgia costs $3.80 plus tax. In the UK, the same would be $14.00 including tax.

In the USA, you can buy a whole side of salmon for about 10 pounds. In the UK, you would only get two small filets for that.

The UK has great public transport, the USA has few options.US utility bills are low, the UK is high.

Natural gas is 39c per therm in the USA and your bill will be about $70 per month.

TV in the USA is BAD and full of commercials. In the UK, the BBC and Freeview cannot be beaten.

In the UK, you can see international stars in the West End, in great plays.

Community (amateur) theatres in the UK are often superb and as near to professional standards, as you can get. In the USA, community theatre is hit and miss. Americans sue each other, often with frivolity. In the UK, it has to be very serious before a person will litigate.
