Reply #127: Germany is geographically convenient for me

[DFW]

It borders on Belgium, Holland, France, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Austria, Czech Republic,
Poland, Denmark, and both the North Sea and the Baltic. It's an hour's flight to just about
anywhere in Europe. Plus, we have the added benefits of my wife being able to live and work in her
native country, with all the free education for our kids (when they lived here) and health
care, which was important when she was diagnosed with cancer.

The weather sucks, and the paperwork is infuriating, but the people are nice, the food is great,
and we have about 20 interesting countries within a maximum 2 hour flight from the nearby
airport. The 1000 year old castle in back of the house (the one in the pic) has a great, though
not cheap, restaurant in it, and there is no restriction to the public for access to the castle
grounds from 8 AM to 11 PM. I always enjoy my time back home, but there are worse places than here
to have your office.
