Quote from Copernicus:
werent you moving to Latvia or Lithuania?
Yes, Copernicus. I was considering moving to Estonia this spring. But after consideration I found out it was not worthwile. Two problems in Estonia: language and climate. Climate the same as Norway, perhaps even worse in the winter, and I dont want to invest my time in learning Estonian. I could have done with English but too much hassle and too complicated. I had several language problems with the local people when I was there. The young are good, but those over 35-40 are NOT good in English.
Northern Italy seems perfect: long and warm summers, good skiing in the winter, a language I would like to learn and in the middle of Europe. I am not sure if I will move (and have it as a permanent home, but at least a secondary home). San Remo are my prime choice right now, but I also like the Abruzzo region (around Pescara). Substantially cheaper in Abruzzo and less tourism but also skiing in the winter.
