I skimmed through the first 70 pages or so. I probably fit several of the categories, I'll revisit it in the next week or so.
I requested the move through work having already spent a year or two in the country. There is definitely an element of betterment for us, we can afford for my wife to be a stay at home mum which she is happy to do she has no desire to return to IT project management. A company I previously worked for tried to entice her back, not a chance.
I've just changed jobs, fewer hours, more vacation and really enjoying work for the first time in years.

Your linked will get flagged by many workplace firewalls with the s-e-x bit in the URL, so I'm not going to click it right now.
Funny how Brits abroad are ex-pats but foreigners here are migrants. Hey ho.

Isn't that true of all languages/countries they mostly have a word for expatriate.
Someone in the UK may refer to me as an expatriate, where I live I'm still referred to as a foreigner/Ausländer.

>>Funny how Brits abroad are ex-pats but foreigners here are migrants.
This much discussed in expat circles around the world and never is agreement reached.
The uncomfortable reality in most places, certainly here, is that one or both of the following need to be true for you to be referred to or regarded as an expat by default;
1) you have been transferred into a country by your job and/or...
2) you're white and employed or retired.
This rightly pisses off and/or offends a lot of people.
It's generally better to call everybody as foreigners or nationals. This is easy, useful, accurate and non-offensive.
