I was in Belgium 1986-1989 with the RAF. Depends on if you want to live in a Flemish or a Waloon area. Yes it is divided. My main memory is of a country where the pubs were open 24 hours and I never saw a drunk, the shop windows were not boarded up in the evening and the trains ran on time with no vandalism on the railways. I also went to football matches with alcohol on sale and no trouble. Another advantage of Belgium is it's close access to a lot of other countries which explains why they all speak each others languages though when you are that close it becomes dialect.

Yes, actually I have migrated allready.  I'm living in Spain now and will move to Switzerland soon.  I don't see any problem with it, you learn different cultures and languages.

I'm an American Citizen who moved here two years ago to marry my Welsh husband.  We live in London.  In my experience so far, most everyone is judged on who they are personally.  I've experienced a couple instances of racism, but they were brief moments of stupidity on the part of a couple un-informed persons.\n\nIt doesn't really matter in the long run if you stay there or come here...  It's your life and where and how you choose to live it and be as a person - your values and your integrity - that's what is only ever going to matter.\n\nCheers\n\nPS - the jobs market is great, if you have skills it's even better.  I'd suggest you start doing some Internet research to get an idea of what is here and what's on offer job and pay-wise so you know what you will be facing.  Ta

I emigrated from Europe to the U.S. but I lived with an American for a couple of years in the Netherlands, so I know a little bit about the adjustments you gotta make. It really depends on your personality. Do you speak another language besides English? If not, I would recommend England or any of the other isles around it. It'll be very difficult to find a job in a country that has another mother-language than English (which isn't to say that it isn't possible, it'll just be difficult). Culture and all are definitely different in Europe and they are completely different from country to country, so it's very difficult to generalize. \n\nI would recommend taking a vacation over there and checking out a few countries that you're interested in. That way you can also make contacts with folks and possible line up a job. It'll be an experience no matter what.

No. Immigrant's life is really sad. Wherever you go, you'll never feel at home. Money is money, but home is the best!\nRomania is becoming an EU member as of Jan1 2007.\nYou'll have better opportunities if you stay there than to go somewhere , start from nothing, cry every night and be despised by the local population. Trust me; been there, done that.\nIt's not the time for emigration anymore...

GO there and do what?  You should first look into how you would make a living there.  You should have a better reason to move than just weather.

Cool! I am currently in Germany with AFS. They really are a good program, don't let anyone tell you otherwise. I almost went to Spain with AFS, but then I got a scholarship for Germany. I must tell you what AFS told me when I got accepted to Spain. You have to be ready to learn another dialect, which is so differnet from Spanish that it is almost anothe language. Learning Spanish in Spain is way different than learning it as a foreign language or in latin america.\nAs for a french speaking country. Of course there is France, thats a no brainer, and I must say France is beautiful. But if you to go Belgium, Luxembourg, The Neatherlands or parts to Switzerland you also have to chance of ending up learing more than one language, such as dutch, german, italian or even the native languge of luxembourg (in german luxemburgisch sorry I dont know the english name)\nBelgium is also a very interesting country, Luxembourg as well, but very very expensive. \nThere are so many options, and the best part is you cant go wrong!!!! \nIt is an adventure, and it is hard, and wonderful and one of the best things you can do! \nGood luck, and welcome to the club of people who understand foreign exchange!

We're moving to New Orleans within a month.  I'm being reassigned there (I'm in the Navy).  We're excited about moving there because we believe that the city will come back better than ever.  Hang in there!  Also, thanks for the coffee house recommendation.  We will check out CC's.

I had my life mapped out one way, but God had a different (and better) plan for my life. I can honestly say that I am living my life to the fullest and enjoying it! There aren't many from my graduating class that can say they live overseas in a Medeteranean country, travel Europe a few times a year, speak 3 languages, and don't have to work (my choice). Yeah, life is good!!

It's not as good as it was, but it's better than most. Canada has been looking pretty good lately.\n\nI live in Texas; my husband and I are planning a relocation to Portland, Oregon as soon as our daughter graduates from high school next year. \n\nI would not leave this country to move to another - I only speak English, and I enjoy the few freedoms we have left.

Ruud Van Nistelrooy has played great football for Manchester United, therefore, the fact that he is moving out does not mean the end of his career. I wish him good luck.

Reconsider please!!!! I live in the Caribbean and right now there is a massive but quiet exodus of people. Cost of living is outrageous, jobs are easy to find but nobody wants to pay you what you're worth,and rents are three and four times what you'd pay for something similar wherever you are. If you still want to relocate, give it a few years to let the bottom fall out of the market and you'll be in a better position. CSME is coming on stream and it'll open things up a lot for  everyone.
