help with Ukrainian saying

[nataliek at UALBERTA.CA]

Dear Fellow list members,

After reading all of the excellent suggestions for Russian equivalents  
to "the grass is greener on the other side" I turn to you with a  
request for an English equivalent to a Ukrainian saying.  A colleague  
asked me to come up with an equivalent to: V ohorodi buzina, a Kyivi  
diad'ko.  I couldn't.  But I'm sure that the collective wisdom of this  
group can do better than I could do on my own.  Thanks in advance.
