I'm ethnically Chinese, but an American citizen, and I spent my childhood in China. Having experienced two lives, I could seriously say I have a stronger appreciation for America than many natural born citizens, because I understand the grass is indeed not greener on the other side of the fence.

For non-Americans reading this, I don't mean to sound like an ultra nationalisic moron, and I understand not every American is living the perfect life, but what I'm trying to say is, the United States is good country with political stability, above average human rights standards, first world standard of living, sane national values, and an overall dynamic society made up of mostly kind people. Of course, there is still a lot of room for improvement, but sometimes it's not a bad thing to gain some perspectives.
