Even with the fires? Sydney has looked unlivable for months.

Depends entirely on where.

All-American

1/18/20 7:25am

That's part of the question. Where would you go, and why? Where would you not go

ReyOso

1/18/20 7:55am

Personally, no.. No desire to live abroad under any circumstance

cougfanz

1/18/20 7:30am

There's no right or wrong answer, but I'm interested in why.

ReyOso

1/18/20 7:55am

I would rather have my kids attend schools here

cougfanz

1/18/20 8:19am

That happens overseas. Football and basketball teams in high school fly

idacoug

1/18/20 8:47am

Not much flying, but they do travel. A lot more bus travel than flying.

Soupie

1/18/20 7:55am

Sounds like a government position

greatbam

1/18/20 8:06am

100% yes. I’d take it on a heartbeat.

TaiJuan

1/18/20 8:06am

How old are your kids? This dictates a lot.

ebv

1/18/20 8:12am

The implicit answer to your question here is: YES! Go!

Pretorian

1/18/20 9:49am

Why not Asia?

ReyOso

1/18/20 9:58am

Ignore him. He's probably never been to Asia.

Wingnut

1/18/20 10:06am

Could be the time zone thing.

ReyOso

1/18/20 10:14am

East Asia actually works pretty well. You call in the afternoon and it's mornin

ebv

1/18/20 10:25am

Good point but it’s just that Asia doesn’t sit well with me, much more the

Pretorian
