mort

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

greatbam

My boy lived there for two years for his job. He loved Sydney. We got to visit

Marathon Man

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.

Texas Hammer

1/18/20 7:52am

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!

We've lived two years on Guam, two years in England, and two years in Germany.

According to Georgia congressman Hank Johnson Guam might capsize.

Albuq_Coug

Yes! Just about anywhere but Asia or dangerous places

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
