I mean, I used to live in Mecklenburg, Germany after the reunification, but it wasn't that much different day to day than life here. People do the same shit. I was lucky because I had peers and caretakers that spoke English. Their school is a lot harder than ours was. I remember that.

oh wow

Yeah, I moved to Canada from the USA. I've lived here for the past 7 years.

It's been nice. Free healthcare, good infrastructure, generally nice people.

what made you want to make the move? did you consider anywhere else?

Biggest challenge - The paperwork, expenses and travel involved. I had to come here, fly back, then my now wife had to fly there, then we both had to fly back to the US. We had a few stressful hiccups but it worked

so far seems like getting my cat over to Scotland is going to require multiple flights. one flight to get my luggage over (I just packed up my life into 4 big suitcases and a large AF duffel bag to check on the plane with me). want to get to my destination there with all that.

but trying to figure out if it's better to fly with my cat to Paris and take a train to Edinburgh so I can keep her with me as carry on, or if having her in cargo would be better than 20+ hour traveling otherwise...(can't have carry on pets coming into the UK, thanks brexit)

I got used to how cheap everything was over here so it came as a huge shock how pricey everything was when we went to see my folks in 2011

I'm having the opposite sticker shock direction lol, Scotland is cheap

Fun stories - Disneyland seemed like a myth living in Australia, but we've gone many times. We got to experience Comic Con in San Diego a few times, we've had trips here and there, parties and what not. It's been a blast

fun!

Things I miss - living about a 15 minute drive from the beach and Melbournes atmosphere...

have you thought about moving closer to a beach? generally more expensive though
