If you're fond of water (as in rain), why not. The thing is, if he feels uncomfortable with the weather in Belgium, and considers the weather in California nice, the odds are he isn't going to like it in London either.

Yeah, I'd reckon the IT-sector isn't in a real lack of those local IT blokes, at least in Finland we're probably a bit bloated of those. We do have an authentic Japanese guy taking care of our Canon copy machines!


Even so, your initial problem really seems to be finding a place that's a) nice enough by weather, b) nice enough on other terms, and c) where English is spoken as an official language.
