All I can say is that despite how nice Europe is, I could never live in
Europe. Everything is just too expensive compared to the US. For example, I
paid US$X for my car. It the UK, the car cost £X, and thats a big difference.
And then there is the fact the car was made in the UK. Though I do understand
that car prices in the UK are much higher than the rest in Europe, though they
are still much more than the US.
