well.

its been very hard, leaving good friends and bad habits behind, and the language thing is hard, and therefore the work opportunities are hard to find.

after 2 years I am no getting used to it, and my language is coming on and I have a good circle of friends.

I'd say the standard of life is better, as is the weather and the booze + food is a winner.

So in short, yes I am enjoying it, but its not a stroll in the park.

Move south though, makes a big difference.
