great story, and it bears repeating, you will have an incredible time _anywhere_ if you go with a positive spirit[0].

And you could end up being a slightly better person.

But you will always feel crap when leaving[1].

I have met many people who don't like where they live, I have yet to meet someone who regrets having lived somewhere else.

[1] In italian there is a beautiful saying: partire รจ un po' morire, roughly "to depart/leave is (to die a bit|a bit of dying|a bit like dying) ".

EDIT: actually a french expression! http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edmond_Haraucourt
