Late Hookworm I think it's great and I hope that she is happy. I have a lifelong friend who is moving to Japan. I encourage people who don't love America to GTFO. No one is forcing them to live here and if they have the means, giddy up! BTW, Japan is begging for high quality people to move to their small towns. The houses are nearly free. I think he is paying $5k and it's estimated that he is going to put $100k into it to modernize the house.
