> broadening our cultural horizons One of the depressing facts of modern life is that, no matter what country you work in, all offices look pretty much the same.. If culture is your true focus, consider a being a student for while - for one, you will get more time to "see the country", and for two, the Visa's are easier to come by.

Scotland: living part-time in california:

I've spent the best part of the past 6 years living/working in CA... My opinion of the US tax system is that if they think they can classify you as a "resident" of CA, they will tax you on all your income - and then it's up to you to provewhat income they cannot tax your on (and not the other way around). I've heard is very easy to be taxed in both countries, and to never get the money back...My advise is to get yourself a good tax lawyer. To be honest, of all the US cities, SF / Silicon Valley is the "easiest" to be an expat in - it's the most "European" of the US cities, great weather, has expat food shops, you can get a good curry and a good beer, lots of other expats... oh yea, the natives are pretty friendly, too :-)
