Personally, I think everyplace in the world has it's positives and negatives, it just depends on each individual's preferences. I'm enjoying the thread and reading about the differences between here and where Martin visited.

I find it funny how some are jumping up and down screaming about how MG has stereo-typed things and then turn around to say that the main dish in the US is hotdogs, grits and okra...just adding to the stereotyping.

I lived in Europe for a time and sure, there are definately differences and I found that to make my stay much more interesting. It also made me thankful for the simple things I missed when I returned back in the US.
