I'm out of here.

33. It's not a move one makes lightly. I know. I did.

At least you won't be disgusted by the weather, coming from where you do.

But even in an English-speaking (sorta) country, there is some culture shock to get used to. That having been said, as one who moved years ago to a non-English-speaking country, you CAN get used to almost anything if you want/need to. I am married to the friendliest of natives, so that helped with the residence permit. I told them (and furnished proof) that I would never ask them for a dime (they are expert at asking for all of mine). I also passed the language test without even having to take it, which helped speed things along. BUT--there are all the little things to get used to, and despite what all the armchair website experts tell you about what paradise the EU is, they are not fluent in the local languages, and they have never lived here. It CAN be done, and you CAN feel right at home, but nothing is free, and you have to work at blending in. As long as you keep ALL that in mind, and are still determined to do it, come on over. You'll do fine.
