For many in SA, such as myself coming to the UK, it was a positively fantastic adventure, and fairly easy to leave (looking at what I left behind; SA is a piece of shit now, sorry to say) but USA is such a HUGE big country, still so much potential, and you guys have got it all. You still have got it all.Exzanianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15224569439945248911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10608053.post-91122356829270170192009-07-22T15:25:33.984-04:002009-07-22T15:25:33.984-04:00cmk: I never really thought about it before the la...cmk: I never really thought about it before the last few years.

The prospect of leaving one's country of birth is truly scary and I don't think it is a decision to take lightly.FishEaglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03989409692533275300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10608053.post-47239872996821725842009-07-21T22:55:05.978-04:002009-07-21T22:55:05.978-04:00I have a cousin--older than my mother--who moved t...I have a cousin--older than my mother--who moved to Finland after her divorce. She has dual citizenship and doesn't seem to have any plan to come back to the US. At least Finland would be no different--in terms of what it looks like, climate, etc--than what I already am used to. I wouldn't mind living there, but would have to visit first, to make sure it is all that I think it is. It is a place where I think I could fit in comfortably.cmkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17984250869194585666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10608053.post-9261453057502036822009-07-21T19:57:14.487-04:002009-07-21T19:57:14.487-04:00Eddie: I will!
