    I was watching a video of an american that lives abroad saying he is trying to get a new nationality at the country he lives at, because he thinks the country, and other countries as well, may not want americans around for much longer. He said he’s afraid things may escalate. I thought that was so crazy! how fast you can go from feeling safe and privileged to suddanly feeling like you are hated by everyone. 100 DAYS!

      I’m partway through learning the language, but I moved my family over 2 years back when I felt which way the wind was blowing.

      I’m less worried for myself, I can (and have) literally lived anywhere and will manage, but it feels so good to have them safe in what I consider the best country in the world right now.

      Flying back feels like flying into a banana republic, or honestly China in the 10s.
