eeyor2u2,
Well, about you liking it here, depends on individual tastes. It is a safe country, locals and people are very friendly, etc etc.

There are some people who are married to a local and very happy, yet others who are not. The ratio of not happy is very low. There are a few american, western, english women married to locals.

Also, you need to keep in mind, you are 2 different individuals. Come and try out the place for yourself. Spend atleast 6 months. You do not lose anything.

Regards,
Angelo
