There are agencies in just about every major city that will help new immigrants find work, residence and some will even help you get accustomed to the way of the natives.

-Whats the fashion there (for males)? im a fashion geek and i dress to impress.

Can't answer that one for you (obviously), but I would think you should move there first and worry about what to wear after, lol

-For the future: how much money should i have saved up from the US before i finally decide to move?

Depends on a lot of factors, I'll list a few:

1. Do you plan on finding a job right away?
2. What type of neighborhood do you want to live in?
3. What standard of living are you expecting?

and so many more..

-Are the French really rude?

Of course they are, just as all Americans are fat McDonalds loving slobs on welfare.

-Lastly, is it worth it?

If you want it, it's worth it.



If you don't know if it's worth it, these other questions really arent questions you should be asking...

Theres a test that I learned from a life skills coach, it will tell you what you are willing to fight for, and what is just a pipe dream.

Imagine yourself on a skyscraper roof top, there is another skyscraper 50 feet away, there is also a 1 foot wide wooden board bridging the two buildings together. A man is beside you, and tells you "If you cross that bridge, I will take you to Paris and give you everything you need to live there, if you don't cross it, there is no chance whatsoever of you EVER making to to paris." If you fall trying to cross the brige, there is no chance of you surviving.

There are very few things many people would cross the bridge for, just about the only common one between everyone is if that man was going to kill a family member should you not cross the bridge.

Do you cross the bridge?

Interesting test. I'll have to file that one away. Seems good for sorting out the really important stuff. Though it seems to me that there are a range of priorities between willing-to-risk-certain-death and "pipe dream" that it doesn't address.

It's only really meant for life changing decisions, there really isn't an in-between for those type of decisions. I probably should have said that before.

I think permanently moving half-way across the world counts as one of them big choices in life
