Life's about more than power, money and war, that's why it became an easy decision to leave, constantly feeling let down by the "system", with a young child in tow, myself and my wife now understand what this "quality of life" quote now truly means.

A lot to consider when ripping up the roots..It's such a big move and often we don't realise what we have/had until it is no longer there...Ideally if one can afford the time and money it is probably a good idea to live in the proposed re-location for an extended stay; could be a small investment compared with the final costs of moving and outcome should things go pear shaped...Having lived abroad albeit on a non permanent basis, I don't realise how much I miss home and how deep the roots go until I am away and Australasia is not a short ferry trip like say France or Spain..Still,,,
My god were actually getting back to the serious business at hand, a new life abroad and not a spitting contest!! i agree with you, but on the plus side you do have new Zealand, papua new guinea, Malaysia, Bali and it you pretend real hard you could be in France in french Polynesia.
