Honestly, it won't be so straightforward. You'll go through a whole
gamut of emotions as you leave your country. This country does have
its merits too and the US sure ain't all purty! 
I was relieved when I finally got my Visa and everything was ready
for departure. When I saw my dear buddies at the airport though, I
started to feel a bit of heartache that I'll be leaving them and
won't get to see them again for a long while.
THen talking to them perked me up cause a few of them
were talking about the things to look forward to there and how I've
finally achieved my dream.
Gave a huge sigh, said my last goodbye's, a round of hugs, picked
up bags, walked through the departure entrance.
Everything was alright until I looked back from the departure
lounge and saw my friends and family there... all standing near the
glass doors, a few waving, a few talking... Tears started to well
up...
I tried to control my tears but couldn't. I walked very briskly,
head down, towards the Ladies. I was excited to leave, but sad to
be away from my friends, and I really didn't know what to expect
over there and I will be there alone.
I've come to realise this - there's never a perfect place on earth
to settle in and sink your roots in. Rather, it's more a matter of
which place appeals to you more and you can put up with the
shortcomings more. Basically, humans are flexible survivors and I
think the cowboys / Red Indians used to say something like wherever
I lay my head, shall be my home.
