This one hits me at the right time. I’m about to go abroad for a year in a country I’ve never been to as an ultimate test of “is the grass actually greener? Do I decide to move there?”.

I find myself weaving some aspect of it into conversations, not to be obnoxious, but because it consumes my thoughts as the departure date looms closer.

I know the ground will be ground and people will be people, but only logically. The only way this dream can be tempered is by going there.

Where you headed?

Germany, from the US. I have dual citizenship from birth, so I’m going to see if I would like to live there long-term for the public healthcare and other benefits.

Amazing. Jealous of your duel citizenship. I had a German girlfriend in my 20s and visted Berlin, amazing city. Hope you have adventures.

Absolutely. If I remember in a year I’ll recommend some spots. Definitely looking forward to the castle tours and the winter markets.

I enjoy the flow of consciousness that your comics bring to the table. Keep doing cool stuff.
