Enlightening and useful article for anyone contemplating a big life change like moving countries. I have spent decades out of my UK home, and know all this to be true. Change is my life and work. I love it and it can be hard. There are always losses as well as gains. Weigh it all up and if you choose change, go into it with open eyes and a spirit of adventure.

Diamond-Michael Scott, you have tapped into a palpable current. My mind plays with both decisions.

As of this moment, the phrase from Gordon Ramsey's Restaurant Nightmares comes to mind: "They vote with their feet!" Also, I've spent my career in defense of this nation and I want (maybe earned? (if I am feeling short)) some peace and quiet in the second half of my life (imagining big skies and fresh air and rurality...but WITH internet, lol). Either way we decide, thank you for your balancing Taoist wisdom.
