America Inside Out: Life in the US and Canada as it really is

"Goodbye America, we have been taught to love your forbidden fruits for so long," sang the band Nautilus Pompilius in the late 80s. Indeed, to a Soviet person any foreign country, and especially the distant and mysterious America seemed the most real paradise on earth. In the late 90's the author emigrated and worked for 20 years in North America, chasing the American dream. However, the real life in emigration turned out to be the collapse of his hopes for a "fairy-tale life". What he saw there was radically different from the glossy picture that Hollywood paints. What are the real prices and wages in the United States and Canada? What difficulties do those who leave for the West face? Why are American retirees selling their apartments? How are Canadian truckers being robbed? What do Canadian female students earn? Why do programmers in America become loaders? What is the meaning of life for ordinary Americans? Is America really a country of great opportunities? The vast experience of survival in a different environment is the basis of the book, which may warn someone from fatal mistakes and make them think about whether it is so good where we are not?
