Any time you have the opportunity to live and work in another country, go for it.

Is that giant green area to the immediate East of Heidelburg (on Google maps) riddled with hiking trails? How about climbing crags? How easy is it to hop on a train and get to awesome hiking in the Alps? What's the road/MTB scene like there? How's the wine?

vancouver islander wrote:Lovely area but, if this is your first experience working in Europe, be prepared for:
- crowds
- poor, off-hand service everywhere you go. Europeans pay lip service to the "American way" but, in point of fact, they'd rather be at home or (particularly) on holiday than doing what they're paid to do
- driving really fast
- awful coffee (in Germany anyway)
- even worse TV than the US
- crowds
- ubiquitous smoking - particularly in areas set aside for no-smoking
- being constantly on guard against theft. This is an epidemic throughout Europe and mainly the result of roving eastern European gangs who, with the expansion of the EU, have easy access to the rich pickings in the west
- did I mention crowds?

About coffee, well I guess as an American you'll won't notice any difference with the German coffee

hey, watch it lolli
you might rephrase this as follows: 'as a VIRGINIAN you won't notice the difference with the German coffee...'
