In my daytime job I teach a lot of foreign business people who come here for 1 or 2 years, and they are always very upset when they have to leave to go to their next country. They love the easy lifestyle, and comfort of living.
I'm in Melbourne and it may not be the most spectacular city but like all the other main cities it has a really relaxed atmosphere. Look forward to having you here you won't regret it.
