According to the London Times, 500 Britons leave the UK every day. By ‘leave’, that means retiring or going to work for an extended period. Many don’t plan to return. I guess that gives some perspective to my experience in Singapore – whenever people ask what my plans are, I say that I can easily see myself staying here, or going back to China, but I can’t really see myself going back to the UK. I just looked at the Aberystwyth webcam for the first time in a long, long while, and found myself surprised at how foreign it seems.
