I asked about the political situation/safety and he replied: "Well, the governments do change more rapidly & frequently than you are probably used to."
But I was young, single, and adventurous ... and almost accepted ... until I discovered that quarantine regulations wouldn't let me bring Buster cat with me - I had rescued him from certain death after a lab on campus was closed and all its animal 'property' consigned to death. A group of us faked their deaths and adopted the critters - and I had promised Buster to take care of him for the rest of his life. So I kept my promise, and Buster, and we moved to NC instead ....
