[Triple Zero]

Good fucking God, you Brits are an awful people.  I'm going to move to Belgium, with Triple Zero.

I have actually no idea what the requirements are. But my gf, having the German nationality, is working on getting a double nationality German/Dutch. It's gonna work, too cause they instated a new law this year allowing people born before 1985 that have strong affinities with both NL and another nation to opt for getting a double nationality (otherwise you'd have to pick one).

Anyway, this doesn't concern you very much, but the upshot is that in the process of figuring all this shit out, she's become quite knowledgeable about the rules pertaining immigration. In fact, she's been battling with that particular part of our bureaucracy for the most part of her adult life. I should ask her the rules, cause I hear the "how do I move to NL" question a lot, these days.

BTW the part of Belgium where I live (let's call it the Northern "Dutch" part), most people are able to converse in English quite well. If you happen to go to the Belgian Belgium (the Southern "Flemish/Walloon" part), they speak Dutch and French. And the ones that speak French don't speak Dutch. Except a tiny littlebit in Brussels. On the positive side, this is the region famous for their beers and chocolate.

We also have abundant amounts of a substance that might take a littlebit of getting used to, coming from Tucson: water. It's fucking everywhere. The only bits that look remotely like desert are the beaches, and only in the summer. On the plus side, our local wildlife is laughably harmless. You can step or sit on anything and it won't matter a damn bit.

I would go instantly, irrevocably paranoid from the PTSD induced by the sudden lack of the universe trying to kill me.

I'm trying to think of something, but yeah, there's really a big lack of that over here.

Also, you have too much nature, and don't appreciate it.

Example:  You let rivers run into the ocean.

That's not an Ocean, Dok, it's the North Sea! It's only about 15 feet deep, and full of old Wrecked Ferrys, Oil rigs, and Mammoth Bones. There were some fish there once, but we accidently them all.

Just caught up with some reading...

Cheese Rolling is only beaten by the Maldon mud race in January. I'd love to have a go at both though.

Yes, but that's FRESH WATER going out into that mess.  Even if it's filthy, you have to clean it and store it.  You'll need it when the rainy season ends.

Jebus.

We have plenty of Gin for when the "rainy season" ends.

I guess you didn't realize that they do this over there.
