Living in Indonesia Vs Living in US
After graduated from my high school, my parents asked me to go to the medical school. However, I was not interested at all, so that my sister tells me to study in US. Then, few months after my graduation, I went to US to study and work for a year. Even I just stayed there for a year, it seemed that one year was like several years for me because there were so many experiences that I could get. From my experiences, I can say that living in USA is much better than living in Indonesia because USA has better food, future retirement, and excellent law enforcement.
First, US has better food than Indonesia. In US, I can find food from many countries in the world; I can find Chinese food, Thai food, even Indonesian food, and still much more. I can choose which restaurant that we like because there so many restaurants I can choose, and I think most of them are delicious. The food also has good quality, because in US the quality of food is very essential things. They have some organization that controls the quality of food there. When someone get sick because of eat in a restaurant, that restaurant can get sue and check by police and some professionals in food so in US many restaurants are very careful with their quality of food. This makes many of Chinese restaurants there not using MSG and even if they use it will only in very small amount because there is a rule about it. Compare with Indonesia that have smaller amount of restaurant and kind of food. In addition, many of the food sellers in Indonesia are uncheck by health officer so it makes a lot of them is not really care about consumers health.
Next, US have more assurance in better future retirement. They have many program to make the old people can stay there more enjoyable especially for citizens. For example, the social security program that help people to save their money for retirement time, also, still many others like free ride on bus, half price on eating in many restaurants, price donation to the poor old people, or even special parking lot for disability and pregnant women . Many of old people have community there and they can have group activities like in the library, community clubs, so on. Maybe in Indonesia have those things too, but not as many and as good compare in US. In US, I have never seen an old people become beggar and I think this because they have better education and law that can help people to save their money in the old days. Maybe, if there any beggar found I think the officer will soon bring a beggar to place they can live appropriately like old folk home.
Finally yet importantly, the law enforcement in USA is superior. When there is something happen, the police will come very fast and the handling is so professional. For example, when there is a car accident, there usually ambulance, police, firefighters will come in count of minutes. Also, usually the police never ask money when we need their help so even if people not rich need help they will help voluntarily. Not like in Indonesia, if the police do not get money from the case usually they will work slowly or even not care about the case except there is a mass media. The others thing, police there not looking people mistakes to get money, they do it to upright the law. However, in Indonesia, many police tend to looking for money for themselves so they often looking people mistakes.
To conclude, after looking on the reasons above, I choose to live in US because it seem that people in USA has better life compare with Indonesian. Even it is not easy to live at new world with new culture in the first few years. However, it is worth it because if we work hard and smart in US, we may get good live there after few years. Compare with Indonesia that is harder to get good live because of instability, a lot of corruption, and often happen a chaos. In brief, living in US is better than living in Indonesia.
