Shumai..

Leaving friends and family is not easy "lookyou isit"..:)

The first time I "left home" was to go to London at 17. It was a major shock. After two months, i was in a hell hole of a beddit and broke. I called my mother and literally cried on the phone. She told me to come home. I stuck it out, found strength and things worked out.

Coming here will be difficult, but you already have the QL community and life here is not too bad.. So look forward to the challenge.
