Reply #172: sounds great

I knew that the whole area had been bombed. I have a lot of German friends, especially in the Duesseldorf/Essen/Dortmund area, but always think the cities are complete garbage, because of the bombing. I guess the towns are another story.

Sorry about the history of health problems, but it seems like you were lucky enough to be in the right place to deal with them.

I know that the weather is garbage, but I'm not one to mind weather if other things in a place are really good. It's probably unrealistic for me to be such a dreamer, but I really would like to move to continental Europe some time in the next few years, and wonder where I should be looking. I couldn't afford to buy anything, but maybe I could get a job somewhere (more likely than getting a job doing what I do in the US).

I think I'll have to wander out into the country side the next time I'm over there :)
