They would blindly follow him to the gates of hell. But I come from a culture where we are taught to think and not blindly follow, and this idea is slowly rubbing off on my wife. Very slowly.
As for house hunting, that is a no go. Foreigners here are not allowed to buy houses and my wife is not in a financial situation which would allow her to buy. So we are stuck here with the in-laws.
I don't really mind it here but I would like it if they acknowledged the depth of my infinite kindness and tolerance towards them.
