I've done this for the best part of 4 years and living outside the UK has many advantages especially schooling for kids. Ensuring you have adequate contract work is the difficult part.
I'm now on the contract merry-go-round finding my next gig and we'll see where it takes me. If you get the opportunity then give it a try, mix with the locals, sort out the legals and after a year or 2 it'll feel like home.
And just like 'not all there' you won't want to come back to the smog in a hurry. The biggest challenge is doing it...You can think of a million reasons why you can't and maybe 10 reasons why you should.
If your not careful you'll be retired and never done it. IMHO just do it, give a try, if you hate it you can always come back. However do it right and your set for life.
