Ever thought of anywhere else??
Emigrating that is.....
Before we decided on here...we thought of emigrating to Italy.
Love it there, but love it here too, and think...know, we made the right decision.
Anyone else seriously consider anywhere else?

We did consider Boston but then there was 911. Italy is on the horizon for a few years while daughter does her OE. But Melbourne looks like being home for a long time

I thought of emigrating to England once or twice but there were too many English living there.
Not the same today I guess but I prefer it here.

We had never been here, but decided to give it a crack after listening to the views of valued and trustworthy friends who had spent a lot of time here.
Glad we did, because 18 months in...life is sweet.

Language has never been a problem for me.
Noone understands me so I could go anywhere.
