“Goodbye America, we have been taught for so long to love your forbidden fruits,” the Nautilus Pompilius band sang in the late 80s. Indeed, for a Soviet person, any foreign country, and especially distant and mysterious America, seemed like a real paradise on earth. In the late 90s, the author emigrated and worked hard in North America for 20 years, chasing the American dream. However, real life in exile turned out to be the collapse of his hopes for a "fabulous life". What they saw there was radically different from the glossy picture that Hollywood paints. What are real prices and wages in the US and Canada? What difficulties do those who leave for the West face? Why are American retirees selling their apartments? How are Canadian truckers robbed? How much do Canadian students earn? Why do programmers in America become movers? What is the meaning of the life of ordinary Americans? Is America really a land of opportunity? The vast experience of surviving in a different environment formed the basis of the book, which, perhaps, will warn someone against fatal mistakes and make them think about whether it is really so good where we are not?
