I've visited several parts of the USA with my job over the years, and I particularly remember Massachusetts. I remember being taken out on a warm summer's evening, and sitting in a country "pub", drinking Sam Adam's real ale. We were sat by a window looking out on a country lane with hedgerows, and for all the world I could have been in the middle of Herefordshire. I thought at the time that if I had to live in the US, I could do a lot worse.

Also, Boston seemed a very civilised city. I was told that it had a lot to do with the large student population, it certainly had a much more cosmopolitan atmosphere than I expected.

Of course, I haven't been there in the middle of winter. On the other hand they don't get the "wrong sort of snow", so maybe it's not too bad.

That was 10 years ago, I don't know how much it's changed since then.
