As one who has had the opportunity to live in another country for a while, I say learn everything you can, meet as many people as you can, and enjoy. It's a great experience.
You said a mouthful there Chuck. I had the chance to spend 3 years in Italy (I had the Army as my travel agent

) and I loved it. I left Italy in 92 but I still have Italian friends that I correspond with.

Mine was about 2.5 years in China, the company footed the bill. I still have friends in China, and ended up with in-laws there too.
