I love reading this. It makes me so hungry. I live for food. I'm to big for my bed now & i get very depressed. You know what, everyone? I think Christina is totally wrong. it’s easy (as an American) to lose weight in Germany. Well except for the ice cream. Oh the ice cream! i think u are all crazy. i love my food i’m over 550 pounds.

I don't feel like our choices listed above have compromised our experience (like avoiding packaged food or buying American imported products). You mentioned living a high rolling life. I don't live that way in America, so I wouldn't find happiness living one in Europe, either. But it all comes down to our individual perspectives in making sure we're celebrating the life we want to live, right? nicole, i think you’re absolutely right about being sure you’re EXPERIENCING the place where you live.

I love that you see vegetarianism saves you a lot of money - I have been telling people that forever. You seem to be enjoying your life, which is utterly awesome! On the other hand, whn I think of European life, I envision a high rolling, vibrant lifestyle! I know you're saving money but you ought to treat yourself to that life every now and then or being in Europe is pointless. It's like, sort of a bad comparison here, visiting a pizzeria and not eating authentic pizza for each day you work there. I love that your house is compromised entirely of tires too.

I'm sorry to say that I can't help you with any of your questions. Just like anywhere else, the cost of living varies from city to city and neighborhood to neighborhood. I don't have kids, so I don't know anything about that either. I've never been to the area you're thinking of, so I send you huge wishes for GOOD LUCK and an awesome time! Katie Hi Anna.
