Don't let anyone tell you moving is not stressful; when you have to cross the border that complicates the matter even more.
I understand now how much my dad had to go through when he moved our entire family over. That must have been a feat of enormous proportion. He moved into a completely new culture with a different governing system. But I had no idea at the time, since I was still trying to understand why we moved and coping with adjusting to yet another move in my young life - I was 14 and rebellious.
From HK to England, to Toronto, to Waterloo, to Ottawa, there was not once that I had company while I moved. From Ottawa to Waterloo, and now Waterloo to San Diego, I'm going solo. The lesson I learned from this is that a modern mercenary has to be mobile as ever. You simply cannot keep too many things.
