For those of us planning on heading to Perth, can you enlighten us as to why you are leaving?

glynnieandy

We are nervous about the moving away thing as it is. I had heard Perth was a brilliant place!!

Dont want to put a dampner on your Perth move but there do seem to be alot of people not overjoyed with living in Perth?

Just out of interest (never been there myself), but why have you chosen the most isolated city on earth to move to? I'm not trying to be antagonisitc but curious?

Very good.....

from what I understand they are probably all tucked up in bed in the land of nod as theres not much else to do of an evening

Past caring now. Some will like it, some won't. It is quiet, laid back, 20 years in the past and that is just the way I like it.

20 years ago I was just starting high school, no thanks

northernbird

wee baby, 20 years ago I had finished high school.

Does the Isolation thing really have any impact on the day to day life of people or is it more a physcolgical thing?

themerlin

Well i might have fancied you when I was a spotty 11 year old

northernbird

If you currently spend a lot of time having holidays to other parts of the UK or Europe the isolation will bother you. If you spend your weekends with friends at pubs or clubs Perth will be too dull for you and if you see a member of your family at least twice a week don't bother emigrating because you won't last 12 months. IMO of course.

Careful NB. Don't get sucked in.....

I think I fail all of these. I'm a real coach potato. Sit on my curvy ass all weekend. Cant afford to have holidays or go to the pub with 3 kids under 3 in the near future; cant stand my inlaws. See my parents every week though.

Amazulu

If you are really close to your family then it is virtually impossible to emigrate successfully IMO.
