my family is moving from Recife to São Paulo

[gusl]

It's finally decided that my family is moving from Recife to São Paulo.

I was ambivalent about it before, since it can be quite a positive change for my brother, as far as opportunities and interesting people.

But to me, this sucks. While I didn't exactly have good friends in Recife, it was at least a good place to see family, extended family and acquaintances at the same time. It was boring, for sure, but any place is when you're somewhere between a tourist and a resident: there no novelty, but you also don't have enough involvement to make it interesting.

Still, I'm slightly disturbed by the news, even though my rational judgment about it was neutral and even though I've been expecting to hear this sooner or later.

So now, going "home" for family holidays will be weird... except that I imagine they'll go to the Recife home anyway, so I probably won't see them at their new home much.

If they're keeping the Recife home, then it's not half as bad. You can always go there and relax in your old town, that sounds more fun than Sao Paulo at any rate (then again, I'm not familiar at all with either).
