6. Sure, it's all good for genetics--but forget about seeing any live music.

4. Welcome to Europe. In the end it'll hit us here, too, but you'll have
one, two more years of a freedom you can't even imagine in the land of the free ;)

11. Yeah... still, life is better in Europe for the time being,. or would you
return to the US?

By the way: How about coming over to Offenbach and meet MissHoneychurch and me before what they call "summer" over here is over?

Bist Du bescheuert? An Köln gefiel mir schon immer einfach alles. Ich sterbe hier gerne. Wäre schön euch zu treffen! Sag mir bescheid!

20. *g* - MissHoneychurch just left for a two-week vacation.
How about right after that? If you can sleep on a matress on the floor you are welcome to stay over night at my place (otherwise I would get you a hotel room); the meeting taking place at the place where we keep our horses. Warm clothes and rain hat recommended since every time we BBQ this year it rains.

10. I already live in "Vansterdam". But hey, best of luck.
It's a brilliant city. I'd move there in a heartbeat as long as the "work" thing was in order. In the meantime 60/40 Canada/France works very well for us...

I liked it a lot. Seems like they have a well functioning society. I'd be happy to join you. I'm a 40 yr. old Single Male from Southern California.

17. Just don't say anything bad about Islam there
They have a large Islamic population over there, and two prominent people have been assasinated for criticizing Islam.

Sorry to spoil the praise of the Netherlands, but as a liberal, I utterly reject the sexism and violence associated with radical Islam. And the Netherlands has a large radical Islamic population.
