Don't get all defensive
You get a lot of local bakers in Europe, and a lot of fresh bread.

It's not a critisism, just an observation.

never been to europe but that is definitely true!
I don't think I've ever been in a real honest to God bakery in my life.

keep saving
Real bread, real cheese, real chocolate.

I've had to knock my US visit on the head this year sadly.

yeah, I used to always think "oh man, I'm never going to be able to afford a trip" but after footing the bill for dentals I realise I definitely could
but still
dentals are more important than meeting stinky b3tans and looking at castles
we have a dinosaur land afterall so that's fairly awesome

If needed I can donate an air-bed to whoever has to put you up for your stay.

You've got the fucking lot in a very big country
There's a school that sneers at Americans for only 10% getting passports.

We've talked about this before. I'd move there tomorrow if I could take the cats and dogs.

Yes, I'd miss fresh food but I wouldn't miss the insularity, parochialism, the "this is the way we've always done it" European mentality.

A mate of mine is almost there. He's a train driver (railroad engineer) over here and he's been offered a similar job in San Jose, CA. He's just got to jump through the hoops of beaurocracy and he's in.

Lucky bastard.
