re: If you could choose any European country to live in, would you leave the US to do so?

People saying Switzerland, have you ever been there?
It's beautiful but one of the most expensive places in the world. You'd be shocked.
A lot of people in the U.S. romanticize Europe. I love it don't get me wrong, but you would miss many of the things here you also bitch about.
shite closes early. There's very few 24 hour pharmacies, restaurants, fast food, etc.
Service can be very slow. In general, the pace of life is slower - which is a good thing but can also be frustrating.
I find Germany to be a good blend. It's European but not "too" foreign. Love Spain too but for my money, maybe Munich.

Lived in Germany for four years. It eventually gets old.

If I could afford Switzerland, Switzerland. Otherwise, Prague or Munich is where I’d move to. Prague is my favorite city in the world.

No Fast Food??? What a terrible place to live.

There are a lot of people that are fine with this. Couldn't' tell you the last time I went to a 24 hour pharmacy, don't care about fast food at all and can do without, actually enjoy cooking most of my food so don't need a ton of restaurant options and don't need any that stay open late.

Been to both Switzerland and Germany, it would be one of those two.

I'm likely moving to Hamburg this fall. Going to be a huge adjustment but I'm looking forward to learning the language, better work-life balance and the opportunity to travel around Europe economically. Even with the tax increase I'll be making almost 80% more and working at least half as much.
The only thing about Northern Germany is the cold winters and wet conditions. I've been told it's similar to Vancouver's weather patterns.

Fast food is a high prior in your quality of life baw? Sad

McDonalds in Dublin is 24 hours
So are the apple green truck stops, and they have decent food

THIS.
I spent a decade going to Europe for a couple weeks at a time for work. We had offices in each market, and I bounced from one to the other.
I loved to visit, but it is the little things you miss and realize you'd probably hate. The USA is awesome.
