>I have a good job that I like, but if my wife told me her company was moving her to Japan for a while, I'd jump at the opportunity.

Do you have kids? What's your relationship with your family like? How good/irreplaceable are your friendships?

For a lot of people, dropping all of these things are inconceivable. I know my aunty was reduced to tears when her son (who is expecting a baby) moved from Woodend to Canberra. To her, it meant seeing her grandkids a couple of times a year rather than spending time with them every week.
