So true. I'm going back to Cali tomorrow after over 9 months over here in Spain. Europe seems like a golden wonderland at first, but after awhile, you realize people are just people, and no one place is really all that much different than another. So many people in such a small place, and with such a large emphasis on the big cities.
My boss wanted me to move to South East Germany a few years back. It would have been a wonderful opportunity but some family issues made it impossible. Not to mention I know a bit of French and Italian but not a single word of German.

I'm moving to Norway in 2 weeks. Free education, even as a foreigner. Free health care too. Really strict rules for getting residency though, lucky for me I've got a knocked up Norwegian girlfriend.

Ok, but the Germans are not all of Europe. I know that they want to be but thankfully they've not managed it yet. Their reputation for arrogance is not entirely undeserved, especially the Swiss and Austrians.
