I don't think I would want to live in Japan.  It's going well here, and my
professional license is tied to California, so that pretty much dictates where
we will be.

I read the article.  Like many expatriates, it seems like they are seeking
affirmation that they made the right choice.  I don't think anyone would agree
that living in a random abandoned house in that part of Japan is an improvement
over almost any major urban area of the U.S., unless you're from Detroit, I
guess.  I have to factor in my drastic decrease in earnings if I move anywhere
out of my primary area.  The economics do not make sense unless I'm in the Bay
Area or L.A.
