@tstruthers Now that you’ve lived outside the states for awhile, how have you been finding it? Just curious how emigrating to Europe compares to when I did it to Mexico mostly.

@therealahall we like it a lot, bit it took a long time to get used to. We finally made some actual friends, which is amazing, and a game changer and also way harder than I expected as I am a pretty extroverted person. The language is still taking us a long time to get, but we are happy, and very happy to be out of the states.
How about you? What was your experience like?

@tstruthers Yeah that’s pretty similar to our experience. My wife spoke really good Spanish which helped but I spoke very little. But we really liked it.
Have you gone back to the US at all and experienced that reverse culture shock?

@therealahall no, we are avoiding it with the orange menace and CBP nightmare. O had to go to New York for a few days for visa update, I was shocked at the prices of things, I mean we were in New York a year ago and the prices were half on most things. I think that's one thing Americans don't get, how expensive everything has become, especially compared to here.
My grocery bill is half, my electric bill is a third, and of course my health care and insurance is extremely affordable. How do you find costs?
