This was a pleasant read and as a serial immigrant I can relate to moving countries on a hair trigger impulse. Like one line in a movie that reveals something about a different culture which captures your imagination. Makes me chuckle. Reality is never quite like the movies but there's definitely something there. You do get some sense of fulfillment and you do usually get to experience what you wanted... The problem is usually not that the culture doesn't have what you thought it had (it often does), the problem is that there are often unseen downsides that simply did not occur to you and you could not imagine being a problem before you made the move since they are not a problem in your own culture. You don't notice what your culture gets right.
