Expats swap

I am a German living in the US and started a swap regarding this: http://www.swap-bot.com/swap/show/106210#comment-429983 I got asked, if I would do an "all expats" swap and here it is.

Did you move to another country, recently or years ago? Where and Why? How were the preparations and travels?
What are your experiences with the new culture? Do you like living in the new country or would you rather go back? What do you miss most of home and what would you miss if you went back home?

Send one letter to your partner, telling about your experiences (answering at least the questions above) and put something regarding your "old" and your "new" country in the envelope (postcard, coin, stamps ...). Btw: A decorated envi is always a pleasure of course ;)

Happy swapping!
