Emigrating Abroad

[denislawsbackheel]

I have property in Europe.
I may go for extended periods.
But I’d never, ever give up British nationality.
If I am going to be Seriously I’ll or terminal
I want it to be in the UK.

I'm only next door and visit Manchester fairly often, but i'm always glad when I get back off the plane over here. I've rarely been happier in my life and if it wasn't for family and friends I probably wouldn't go to Manchester any more.

How does the current state of the NHS compare with overseas medical care ?

Quite agree with most of this posting, however...this country and everything about it is shite....is bollocks. It's not perfect and there are a lot worse, each country is different, has its good and bad points. Yes, do it by all means but you wont escape from the general shite that is life. Quite a few expats, not all, ' run away ' from issues thinking that a change of country will change everything, it wont, it will in general just highlight your problems and because of the unfamiliarity of the systems in place will make them worse.

I currently live in Japan after living my entire life in Greater Manchester.

I graduated uni, couldn't find a job ended up getting into a John Lewis Customer service job courtesy of her Maj's Jobseekers but after a while I could feel myself getting trapped there so I searched elsewhere.
I opened the Guardian's job section and saw a job to teach English to kids in Japan and I thought "Fuck it why not?" And now here I am, happy I did it, even if I can't speak or understand the language fluently
I guess I have the benifit of youth and with nothing tying me down but it's weird to me when people say "Oh I Could never do that" Of course you could. If you want to do it, figure it out don't just make excuses. *edit* I read this back and it sounded dickish, sorry I didn't mean it like that. I just meant that if there's nothing really holding you back other than just the idea then I don't get it.
