Yeah, I do have a tough time thinking about ten years in the future.

The point about the differing strategies is that

akiko tends to get sucked deep into the specifics, whereas I figure if we could make the *big* things work (getting jobs/income, figuring out what's practical to take with us, finding a good place to live, etc), all the details (doctors, groceries, day-to-day whatnot) would work themselves out more or less, and I'm not very interested in worrying about them ahead of time.

Of course, your real question is the macro-scale what do I want to do. Which is an excellent question. I also have a hard time figuring out what I want, especially on big decisions. About as far as I've gotten is (these aren't ordered):

Pros - Living in another country could be a fun adventure, Berlin is a pretty cool place, my life has been feeling in a bit of a rut lately anyway.
Cons - I kind of like a lot of my stuff, I'd need to *really* learn German instead of just dabbling in it, leaving friends here (though honestly a lot of them are in different states where I hardly see them anyway).

I should probably expand this into a more substantial f-locked post, huh? Might've already done it if I weren't like four months behind on making LJ posts...
