Kitty - go on, a list of who's (meant to be) coming please.... name and shame.....

OK - I'll swallow the bait and take Kitty's question seriously (and not just because she oozes sexuality like a tigress with an Eostrogen overdose....)

Somewhat perversely, a decision to stay is infinitely harder than a decision to leave. Perhaps the temptation of the unknown is a sexier devil than the devil one is acquainted with; whereas a choice towards constancy implies a satisfaction with a pedestrian everydayness.

I've never had the strength of character to choose to stay. Which, one imagines, must be the harder decision.

Or, conversely, the decision to move if you've spent the previous 50+ years in your home country and will be leaving everything you know (and pretty much everybody you know) behind and striking out in foreign territory. But, for us, there was always that 'what if' question lurking. You know what I mean, if we'd stayed in the UK we'd be asking ourselves 'what if', we'd moved to Dubai? We now know the answer to that - it's given us the taste for more new experiences. So we'll be moving on again next year to Muscat - a different Arabia. How long we stay is anyone's guess. And if and when we do decide to move on? We'll cross that bridge if and when we get to it.

Youngsters can have their gap year/s ... there's a lot more to be said for having a gap retirement

The Dean- no you have to rock up and see!

So everyone thinks the hardest decision is about where to live- what country to be in?

to have or not to have a baby, took me years to decide, wished I had done it sooner!

To leave my first wife and my career in the UK to fly to what was for me at the time a relatively unknown country in East Africa full of wild animals and tropical diseases...I now wish I had done it five years earlier.

No not everyone!! I left the UK 20years ago and have moved countries 3 times without much anguish at all, I just look at it as another adventure!

That's a really lame, Jumeirah Jane-type answer. Ooohh, it was so hard to decide to come out here, its sooo far, its sooo hot, I was scared I'd get my bum pinched all the time, what if I didn't like it...

What happens if any one of us doesn't "like" it? We have the option of getting the next flight out. How does that make it a big decision?

Look around at all the TCNs: they probably had very little information on what it would be like here, they have their passports confiscated by their employers, they get paid shit wages if they get paid at all, they can't leave if they don't "like" it here, and so on ad nauseum.

Anyhone who says moving out here was the hardest decision ever needs to get a life.
