I'm well aware; it cannot possibly be worse than where Hong Kong will be, is all I'm considering. Besides, the Brexit brain drain might actually work in my favour... ;)

That said, I'm open to other options; for example, I really liked Berlin as a tourist, but need to research more on what it's like to actually live there.

There's an excellent BBC show (1 episode), "Make Me a German" about a UK couple moving to Germany and it explains a great deal about day-to-day German culture, including raising kids there and work culture.

I personally like plenty about the culture shown (hard work, raising kids in alternative education outdoors, strong sense of community, their obsession with efficiency but liberal vacation time/work benefits), but I could see it turning some people off. Also of note they went to Nuremberg and he took a job at a pencil factory, which may be more traditional Germany than you'd experience in Berlin or other urban areas.

Why not considering Switzerland? Have relatives that moved to Berlin and they are not happy anymore there.

Denmark/Norway/Iceland/Sweden should also be on your radar also Netherlands/Belgium.

It's great. I had to move back after 4 years in Singapore. This time for good.
