Same here... Tried AMS - TLS for a few weeks, then decided this was going to kill me, rented a house, packed up my car and moved there.

I find a 2 hr commute by car too much, so maybe I am not really normal, but it seems most people here agree. It breaks your life in two.

And like 'andad said: going away is tough but coming back is much, much tougher, especially if you have been away for a long time. I have returned 'home' after being mostly abroad for 6 or 7 years and although it is home, it feels completely different.
