Arbab and his wife were living in Hawaii and decided to visit Portugal. After staying for several months, they went back to Hawaii and for three years, they talked about moving to Portugal. They finally decided to take the leap but once they moved, they weren't expecting the cultural differences. Arbab talks about moving his family to Portugal and if it was the wrong choice. Should they move back to the US?
