[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love Germany. I would live there in old age. Everyone is highly educated and polite. [/quote]

Ugh! They still hate Jewish people there.[/quote]

Not just Jews.  I’ve been to Germany 3x and I found the people very cold and unfriendly— particularly in Berlin.  I’m Asian American.  Spouse is actually German American and we both took German.  They pretty much ignored us for a good 10 minutes at one bakery cafe.  The butcher glowered at me when I asked a question about the sausages. And the airport personnel was probably the worst experience of more than 20 European airports I’ve visited.  Not a huge fan.  [b]I do agree that Sweden and Norway are beautiful but as I have friends from both countries I’ve seen the down sides of living there and they are natives.[/b]  If we were ever to live in Europe probably northern Spain or Portugal would be our top choices but only part time not full time particularly with global warming.[/quote]

PP, what do you see as the downsides?[/quote]
