It was my dream. To live and work, short-term, in a foreign country. I had wanted to try this for a long time and now, immediately after graduation from college, seemed like the time. When better to leave the country than when you owe vast sums? The question was how to achieve it. First, get a position somewhere overseas. Then move there and work for a while, hopefully accumulating new language skills and a few mementos along the way. I envisioned Japanese fans and kimonos, German stei... more...

My co-workers and colleagues were so sweet. They gave me parting gifts and hugs and wished me well in my travels. I could tell what they were feeling: envy so green that they could hardly remain upright. I was shipping myself to Hawaii from Europe and was so excited I could hardly stand myself. I was smug enough to be a royal pain the last couple of weeks, so I couldn't really blame them. They were staying behind in the cold and wet; I was moving out into the sunshine. There... more...

Living on an island is living on an island, regardless of size, right? Australia may be a continent and much larger than Hawaii, but it's still an island so life wouldn't change for me that much, would it? My brother said that I was trading Classic Coke for New Coke. I retorted that I was moving my life to Hawaii and that Australia wasn't such hot stuff. We had had the same argument daily, pretty much, since he had found out my plan to leave my arid part of Down Under ... more...

The local laws and regulations must be considered, along with the cost in relation to the benefit of the move. The cost of doing business in Mexico can be quite inexpensive, since labo... more...

There was a commercial run years ago about some schmuck stuck in a dead-end job. His boss, throughout the commercial, cries something like, ''Get to Omaha'' Poor birthday boy, on the big day, gets a call in the middle of his cake ''Happy Birthday, get to Omaha!'' I felt the same way. Heidelberg? I'm going where for the next three years? Heidelberg?? My company had transferred me. A single guy, they thought I'd have no objections. So I'... more...

Sprechen de Deutsch? That is the extent of my knowledge of the German language; and I'm not even certain that is spelled right. And yet, in two short months I will be moving, lock, stock and barrel, to Germany family included. My wife is ecstatic! My kids, considerably less so but they're young enough to make the adjustment smoothly. Truthfully, this will prove to be a better education for them than anything they could possibly learn sitting behind a desk in a classroom! ... more...

Sitting outside a country pub on a warm summer's day, a river flowing nearby, an explosion of green everywhere you look, and the sound of leather balls hitting cricket bats, church bells ringing, the wind in the willows, and a voice asking: would you like some more smoky bacon crisps?...that's England, my home sweet home. It's been twenty years since I've lived there, having immigrated to the USA all those years ago. I met and married an American girl during the war an... more...

Coming home... That's all it was. I had put in my time in this wintry wide-open and now was being told I was getting transferred back to the States, moving to the USA from Russia where I had spent 2 years as a sales rep for Xerox. [Can I say that?] I can't say it was a bad experience, it wasn't. But I have a large family, a big house, and for two years had been away from them all. I was happy to be going home. So the question: when one is moving to the USA from Russia... more...

My car was delivered in style, driven by a guy whose cologne has left its permanent musky scent on my seat thankfully not an unpleasant aroma. The final words to me from the rep at the international auto shipping office rang in my head. You're moving where? Whenever I have this conversation with family or friends, I develop headaches. What's so strange? It's a land of incredibly ancient and wonderful things. The struggles to survive and the extremes to which one str... more...

Contrary to stereotypes, they were quite helpful, letting me... more...
