I think this is funny. Most people aren't actively aware of the culture they grew up in.
I have something similar, although it is more just a feeling of 'get out! get out now!' stemming from some general disillusionment with the modern world. I've thought about it almost every day for years, and there are few solutions. Transplanting myself into another country wont do much good if it is in the city, because we are a global society and the speed of life is the same. Not to mention the abject greed and emotional terror.
I've come to the conclusion that a town is better than a city for me. And if not a town, a village. And if not a village, a commune (one which is run practically, not sure where to find that). And if not that, the wilderness after years of bushcraft and survival training. I don't think I even have the motivation or integrity to do that training. And if not that, no where. I can't get away from my thoughts and if they don't change via different people or places, I'll go nuts.
The no where isn't a nice thought.
Aside from that, I am aware that you are coming to join us here in the UK! Correct me if I'm wrong about that. It isn't such a bad place, especially outside of London (guess where I am ). I'm sure you will enjoy many parts of it, if only because we are different in many ways and those will be new.
