Persistent occurrences of petty crime of all sorts where they live seems to be one of the downers. And it's hard to build a friend network if you're an immigrant. I don't think there's any regret per se, just a trade off from one type of negativity to another type.

I'm curious to see how the Germany movers will adjust over the long term. I could never adjust to the many pedantic rules set forth by German communities. I think I could do France though.

One of my friends is French and she and her wife have always had the plan to move back. Now that the wife is nearly retired, she thinks she can work for a couple years and then they'll both be retired.

I have another work acquaintance who moved to Switzerland with her husband about three years ago. She's a greek citizen so the path was easier for them as well (there's a workaround for EU citizens and Switzerland). It's been interesting watching her journey. She's found a couple of jobs that have paid well, but lately she's posting about some of the realities of living there. Doesn't regret it and it comes with a lot of pros, but the cons are certainly there.

Then I have yet another pal and acquaintance who just moved to Germany with her partner to study. They're going the route of "we are students let us stay here", and it seems to be working out, but it's early days yet.

DQ's Gus Gus isn't the only Crasspup having a hard day. Angus had the second half of his dental procedure yesterday. He had four teefs pulled and is not himself today. Seems like it takes at least 24 hours for him to start to act normal. :/

Poor lil Gus! I hope he feels better soon.

Graham's sister (whatever her name is) answering that debate question with "National security isn't my thing" is certainly an interesting position to take.

Just

yeah. Here we all are.
