I found the last one quite interesting. I've always planned to live 3-5 months per year oversea's enjoying the worlds cultures given all the business travel I've done the past 38 years, never enough time for the worlds beauties when you are under the gun! I've always considered it would be an "expense" much like owning a bird. The last article gives a different view IF you pick the right places to live. FWIW there are hundreds of websites with support networks much like our beloved WaGu for people considering it. Inexpensive places, health info, people to contact and support, etc. that share their experiences to help you have a better result! Enjoy!
