My friends who graduated from University of California at Irvine all wanted to stay in Irvine or nearby areas. Another friend moved to Texas but now is back to San Diego. Quality of life in CA is good except the high price of house/rental. I think high price of house/rental in US and in many other places means good quality of life. One of my friends live in San Jose and the housing price is really too high so he was considering moving to Austin Texas but decides to stay in CA. I like Singapore even though it has the highest housing price in the region (Southeast Asia). The higher price is justified by better job prospect and better living conditions (safe and clean --> Irvine is very good or even better though but it is a small city). -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
