What do you expect to find? How will it improve your life of ou and your family?

Less petty crime, less day to day stress, 4 very different seasons, more bang for my property buck, less pressure on my kids to be anything but kids.


YMMV...

A long strip of black asphalt with pretty lights and stuff.

I'll be home for supper.

Dumb checkout systems that can be exploited in supermarkets. The Canadians haven't smartened up like Tesco and Sainsburys yet

Other than that, better life I guess

skiing

Because its easier to project than confront reality.

Brits who don't make fun of foreigners.

Answer to your two questions......No idea

I did it mostly for adventure which then made me look at the definition of adventure..............often defined as an exciting or unusual experience; it may also be a bold, usually risky undertaking, with an uncertain outcome.
The term also broadly refers to any enterprise that is potentially fraught with physical, financial or psychological risk, such as a business venture, a love affair, or other major life undertakings.
Adventurous experiences create psychological and physiological arousal.



seems about right to me...........

Hm, we have a slightly bigger house. Much bigger gardens. Bigger cars. No mortgage. No job security. No medical benefits. No job related pensions. No real vacations. It hasn't improved it, just different shit and different fun.

I felt I was getting too much vacation time in the UK

For the sake of the kids

A different lifestyle, not better just different. Was getting bored with the old one.
Plus the detatched home with land, 2 outrageously large cars, working on the land in summer, skiing in winter.

+1
