I live in Texas but want to move to Berlin Germany?
Ok, I am 19 and wanting to start a new life! I quit my job as a stage hand and Rhodie because my boss is a perv and had a crush on me! but anyways, i have no source on income. So i am going to get a job as a bar tender or something that makes a decent amount of money and tips! I am going to save all that money for an apartment, my parents even said that they would help out the first couple months! But is anyone on here from germany? if so can you tell me what its like, i have only been to Denmark and Sweden! I love the German language, and i have been studying it for a while, but want to speak it fluently! i am tied of the USA! I love going to new places. I am actually part german, norwegian and italian, my dad was born in oslo norway as well! But back on the topic, I have been doing research over Berlin, looking at apartments, I don't care where it is as long as it is near Berlin or Hamburg! Does anyone know of any good apartments over there, with a good descent price, for a one person, and one bed room? I would appreciate anything right now! i just want to get out of here lol! I cant join the Military for health reasons! My dad wants to move back to Sweden.

your not a kid anymore, so if you want to move to germany then do it. i would love to move there too. im a huge history buff. hope you can speak german. go online and look for local newspapers from germany, they will probably have a section of rental apartments and stuff. most newspapers do. good luck in germany. :)
5 :
I can't help you with the apartments, but I can suggest a good program for learning German. Try looking on Google for the Rosetta Stone program, my mom knew someone who used it to learn English and they were surprised at how easy & fun the program was. The program is on the expensive side, but if you're planning to move to Germany and want to become fluent, it's probably worth the investment. Also, Rosetta stone has a free web community where you can make friends with people from other countries and practice speaking eachother's languages via audio chat. See my source links for more information.

You haven't thought this through. You need a VISA and it will expire forcing you to move back. Go take a vacation to scratch that itch. You issues are not with the location your in they are with you. No matter where you move you will have new and similar issues. Also in countries like Germany where jobs are limited they don't like to give the good ones to us yanks. I suggest you join the military. They will send you to new and exotic places where you can observe then shoot the locals.

If you want to move to Germany and do not mind a little bit of a strict life style then I'd suggest going into the Army or Air Force. You can request (but that doesn't mean you will get it) to be stationed in Germany or Europe. Once there keep on extending your time at the duty station (which is not that hard to do), and when you get out of the military after your 3 or 4 years then tell them that you want to move to either Berlin or Hamburg. If you have a good person working at the military transitioning place then the military would pay for you to move all your belongings to an apartment in one of those cities. Once in a European duty station you can pretty easily tour most of Western Europe by train or car, and living in those countries you can fully immerse yourself the local language.

Hey Sammy, I'm also 19 yrs old and living in Germany now =) But if you want to move to Germany, you absolutely must learn German. People might say that you can get by with just English, and that's true, for a tourist. Without German, it will be almost impossible to get anything done (dealing with visa, finding a place to live, getting around, being able to get a job... etc...). In addition, its not exactly to work here as a non-eu citizen. And the unemployment rate is quite high (compared to the US) in Germany, particularly in the east. Berlin is between 10-15% I think. I don't want to discourage you from moving here though, because its an amazing country and a great experience to live abroad. But you really need to look deeply into this to be able to pull it off. Learning german is the best place to start :)

Cheney and his daughters are compared to a Greek family do you agree?
Cheney and his daughters are compared to a Greek family do you agree?
There is something Greek about the Cheney family’s obsessive persecution of President Obama. Ancient Greek, that is. It recalls the vindictive persecution of the House of Atreus by the Furies in Aeschylus’ great trilogy of tragic plays, The Oresteia. The Cheneys’ Fury-like pursuit of Obama is relentless, irrational, and unforgiving. First Dick Cheney, on three separate occasions, declares that Obama is making the country more vulnerable to terrorist attack, accuses the president of using the economic crisis as a pretext to expand the government, and agrees with a conservative talking head that Obama is “telegraphing weakness†to the terrorists. Like the Furies, the Cheneys stand for unreason and emotionalism. Revenge is their milk and their meat. Then his eldest daughter, Liz, proposes on Fox News that in the wake of Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize, the president send the mother of a fallen soldier to Oslo to accept the award on behalf of the U.S. military—as if it was Obama, and not her father, whose stupidity and greed has sent thousands of Americans to their death in Iraq. And recently, Cheney’s youngest daughter, Mary, announced the creation of an international consulting firm that will, no doubt, facilitate any and all opposition to the slightest Obama initiative. And just this past Wednesday there was Dick Cheney himself, the chief Fury, publicly accusing Obama of putting at risk American troops in Afghanistan by “dithering,†charging that Obama is “afraid to make a decision,†and saying that the president is endangering the American “homeland.†Cheney’s public belittling of Obama, his near-seditious claims that Obama is working against the country’s best interests and allowing America’s enemies to gain the upper hand—such vengeful attacks by a previous vice president, let alone by any former high elected official, against a sitting president are without precedent. You feel that in Cheney’s grim zeal he is not simply refusing to leave the stage, but reliving his glory days fighting the good Manichaean fight against absolute evil—this time against a president who is, in Cheney’s mind, the moral extension of the shadowy terrorists he pursued while commandeering the White House. Then, too, perhaps Cheney was so used to bending to his will the emotional weakling he served under for so long that his drubbing of Obama is simply the only way he knows how to relate to a president. There is something primitive—something along the lines of magical thinking—about the way the former vice president projects his psyche onto reality. For Aeschylus, the Furies represented, in fact, a primitive age, where unreason ruled and vengeance was the only form of legal redress. Rational justice had yet to be born. The Furies were personifications of the murdered dead, who wreaked their revenge on the murderers. Such wild, lethal doomfulness seems to be Dick Cheney’s native element. The primal sin of the House of Atreus, which aroused the Furies’ centuries-long vindictive wrath, was Tantalus’ murder of his son, Pelops, whom he tried to serve up to the unwitting gods. Resurrected by the gods, Pelops has a son whom he names Atreus, and Atreus repeats the family curse. He kills his half-brother to get his money and then murders and serves up as dinner his brother Thyestes’ children to Thyestes as payback for the latter’s adultery with Atreus’ wife. From then on, the descendants of the House of Atreus turn on and murder each other in an endless cycle of revenge: father kills daughter, wife kills husband, son kills mother. Yet in the final moments of Aeschylus’ trilogy, Athena breaks the power of the Furies and votes to acquit Orestes of the crime of killing his mother (who had murdered Orestes’ father). Thus Athena replaces unreason with reason, and revenge with the spirit of clemency. Like the Furies, the Cheneys stand for unreason and emotionalism. Revenge is their milk and their meat. Obama’s Age of Reason—the advent of Athena—drives them into a rage, which in turn impels them to pursue Obama relentlessly to punish him for his crimes against what their hearts know to be true.

Excellent analogy! Cheney and his misfit children are attempting to elevate the failed legacy of the Bush/Cheney era. And you are right, it was the stupidity and greed of Bush/Cheney that put our children in harms way in Iraq...a war that should never have been, a war that both lied about. The Bush/Cheney administration will go down in history as one of the worst administrations. Republicans of Cheney's era will not survive the 21st century.

Should i hate my mom for this?
Should i hate my mom for this?
Hey, I'm a 16-year old boy from Norway, living in Oslo. Here's the "rules" my mom gives me: [1] Always 1 hour (or more) physical activity EVERY day. [2] I have to wash all the floors in our 3-stories tall house twice a week, plus drying dust (or whatever it's called) [3] I have to make dinner at least twice a week. I have friends and all, but mostly I play on my laptop (We actually do have wireless, but she doesn't know. She thinks I'm playing an offline game. BUT don't be distracted by it, what she thinks is most important for considering who's "side" you're on..) For the 1st rule, I'd like to add that walking does not count. If I've been to school and have had no gymnastics, I have to run around a water near our house for an hour. Rain/snow/even ice? She doesn't care. I can't fake it, cause I have to take pictures with my phone, and bla bla. Just not possible faking. I've tried… For the 2nd rule: If there is a SINGLE little piece of anything at all on the floor when I've washed, she will get furious. She is never happy, even if I've done it perfectly. Same with the 3rd rule, if I fail in any way while making the dinner, she gets furious. And she's never happy. And here are the punishments i get / have gotten for being "disobeying" [1] I do not have access internet (well, she doesn't give me access and thats the point!), from now on and for the next 4 years. Hardly anything I do can change this, and if it changes, it's maybe by a day or two (she counts) [2] If I'm not in physical activity 1 hour a day she takes my laptop to work for 2 days. I bought it fo my own money (which was NOT from her) for about 2.2000 euros. [3] Not really a punishment, but she's angry with me almost all the time. And here's one of the things that piss me off the most: I have a brother at the age of 14. He does not have ANY demands at ALL. He does not do a single thing in the house (I have to wash his room). He once threatened me with a real knife. He held it half an inch from my throat. Ever since, it's been cold between us. I'm not very strong, and he is (considering his age). But we've fought some times since the knife episode and just because I'm older i guess i have a little "technical advantage". He starts it every time (yeah, like you haven't heard that one before, but you'll just have to believe me). In the worst episode after the knife, he needed 3 stiches in the back of his head. That time it started with me taking the remote and he instantly punching me in the face, breaking my glasses. Well, he asked for it. He's the one with the bad temper, so don't go on about any "rage management" for me :) Mom knows of the knife episode, and still even though my bro does nothing in the house and he has no demands (he gets the internet etc) she's always happy and frieldy to him. I know jealousy is bad, but come ON!? I just finished the 3rd of 3 years in… dunno what it is in english, but we have 7 years of "children school" and then 3 years of "youth school" (whereI i just finished) and then 2-3-5 new years, depending on what you want to become. Overall grades I'm the 2nd best in all the school with an average of 5.35 (scales are from 1-6). She doesn't care. The school has about 500 ppl. Well, I tried making it short… If you really bothered reading through all this, thanks alot. But if you're gonna say that I'm a spoiled brat: Compared to other Norwegian teenagers, I'm given more demands, WAY less rewards, and WAYY more punishment. And I also probably forgot something, but this'll do.

Hope this works(:
7 :
I think you need to talk to someone about the situation, an older family member or a school counselor. What she's doing isn't really fair and quite emotionally damaging. She might have a reason for treating you this way that needs sorting. Maybe she had a bad time when she was pregnant with you and you remind her of that time. I'm not saying this is acceptable for her behaviour just that there might be a reason for her behaviour. What she is doing is mostly unfair because your brother does not have to do the same, if you were both doing these chores then it would be perfectly acceptable to ask you to help around the house. However, the running thing is a bit weird as if it was that she wanted you to keep fit and healthy then surely she'd want your brother to do it too and she doesn't care about your grades... soooo yeah weird. I would just refuse to do it. let her take your lap top and pretend like you don't care or hide it if you can. You need to stand up to her! As for your brother, brothers fight but putting a knife up to your throat is unacceptable next time he does that call the police. Maybe that will teach him a lesson. Just keep doing as well as your doing at school and just think one day, not so far away, you'll have a good job and will be able to move out. Your mum will no longer have control over you and your brother will probably be in prison! Look to the future :) Edited to add: Your own feelings will determine whether you hate your mum or not. I can't tell you how to feel but I wouldn't be surprised if you said you did hate her.

Call social services, this is not responsibility, it's slavery.

I think you need to talk to someone about the situation, an older family member or a school counselor. What she's doing isn't really fair and quite emotionally damaging. She might have a reason for treating you this way that needs sorting. Maybe she had a bad time when she was pregnant with you and you remind her of that time. I'm not saying this is acceptable for her behaviour just that there might be a reason for her behaviour. What she is doing is mostly unfair because your brother does not have to do the same, if you were both doing these chores then it would be perfectly acceptable to ask you to help around the house. However, the running thing is a bit weird as if it was that she wanted you to keep fit and healthy then surely she'd want your brother to do it too and she doesn't care about your grades... soooo yeah weird. I would just refuse to do it. let her take your lap top and pretend like you don't care or hide it if you can. You need to stand up to her! As for your brother, brothers fight but putting a knife up to your throat is unacceptable next time he does that call the police. Maybe that will teach him a lesson. Just keep doing as well as your doing at school and just think one day, not so far away, you'll have a good job and will be able to move out. Your mum will no longer have control over you and your brother will probably be in prison! Look to the future :) Edited to add: Your own feelings will determine whether you hate your mum or not. I can't tell you how to feel but I wouldn't be surprised if you said you did hate her.

My husband wants to divorce me because of economical problems and because I have had problems with his mum!?
My husband wants to divorce me because of economical problems and because I have had problems with his mum!?
I was a 22 years old girl living in Iran with very good money that I made and also my dad gave when I married a 23 years old Norwegian guy without a job who was studying. We had so many difficulties to marry but finally we made it. When I moved to Norway he had already given up on studying and he had 50 000 studying loan that he has to pay even now!! He did not even work 3 years ago and he was living poorly in a very small room in a very small town. I spent many days without eating anything yet I walked to school everyday in cold snow without warm clothes and... but I loved him and stayed with him. We moved to a bigger room which had absolutely nothing in it! No refrigiator, oven, nothing. We got no help from his mother who did not even wash our clothes. She did not even help us with 50-60 dollar and that caused arguments between us too. Then with my encouragement he got a parttime job which only helped us to pay our important expenses yet we did not have money for food! I applied for 600 jobs and did not get!! He tried to get 3-4 creditcards to be able to pay for expenses! 1 year after that we moved to Oslo for better opportunities and we had EXTREMELY difficult time for 2 months and I had to sleep on empty floor until he got a fulltime job and slowly we bought things without anyones help. I got a fulltime job after a year which was around 70% of his income. So I paid around 30-40% of my income for our sharing expenses. But he is never satisfied and he claims that I must pay for creditcard bills that he has spent on me 3 years ago. He also says that he does not have any money in his account after he pays for his studying loan that he has got 6 years ago before he knew me, even if now he has fulltime job with good payment! He always complains if I buy any dress, make up and such things for me. After finansproblems I lost my fulltime job and got 40% job which isnt enough for my own expenses yet I still give him 20% of our expenses.He claims that I must give more to him and another prob is that he wants to rent 10 000 dollar to his mother who has not helped me even 50 dollar when I was dying hungry! He says that his mother needs this money badly and will give back the money! I think we have worse economic than his mum!! We just argue all the time. Help me.

first, if he is so broke, how would he give 10,000 to his mother? that part i don't understand. also, as his wife, it is your job to put in 50% for your expenses. but, you should not have to give it directly to him. you should pay the bills yourself. to make sure that your money is going where it is supposed to be going. you should pay the credit card bills on time every month or both of your guys' credit will be very very bad. also, it is not or should it have ever been his mom's responsibility to wash your clothes. your old enough to be married, your old enough to do your won laundry. and as for her giving you money, if she is needing to borrow from you, then chances are, she just didn't have it to give. but by the sounds of it, neither do you. so the loan is a bad idea. unless you can afford it, and get something in writing. good luck.

This is way too confusing to understand. He has no money but yet he gives a lot to his mom. He wants you to give a lot of your money to him for bills he created. All kinds of weird stuff is happening here. So many couples argue over money. It is not worth breaking up over even tho I would think so at first because he seems very selfish with money that isn't his. But yet, usually couples put their money together and decide what to pay and how much to pay on everything. It should be a joint effort. Combine all of your incomes and split all of the bills equally. Young people don't think that way. They think that it's individual money and individual bills. Do you want to live like that and argue forever? Then if you don't do as I suggest. Love each other and help each other with bills and everything else. You are as ONE now and that's the way it should be with the two of you. Teach him this and you will both be a lot happier.

First of all, let me ask you what exactly it is that you are getting out of this relationship. Sounds to me like you have gotten nothing but hardship from day one. Why would you want to stay in this type of situation anyway. Why wouldn't you want to get away from him and his mother and take care of just yourself? You could do so much better on your own at least you wouldn't have him dragging you down. Think about it. What good is he to you anyway? Sounds to me like he will let you work hard every day and take care of him but I don't think he would do the same for you. Red

I am very responsible person and do not try and get into bad situations. I speak some French and some Russian so would that be any reason to let me do what I want to do, This will be only chance. Parents still not wanting to let this happen, what do i do now? The countries that would be seting foot on are. So how how much would I need to bring , money?

no you shouldn't. when your 18 or 19 yeah, but you don't understand how young you still are when you're 16.. even when you might think you aren't and you might think you know everything.. those 2 or 3 years makes a big difference to a person mentally and physically....so why don't you just keep up your hopes for backpacking but save up some money get a job and just make sure its what you want to do not to mention the fact that you're probably only wanting to go at 16 because you think you can 'do whatever you want' at that age. which may be true.. but there are alot of laws that limitate you past that. and if you don't know how much money you're going to need.. and you're asking if letting your best friend go with you will make a difference. i think its another sign that you need to wait acouple more years.

Wait until you are older. It is not because you are not responsible or untrustworthy- it has more to do with the world- you are going to be exposed to a lot of criminals who all they do is prey on people like you and you may not have the experience to keep yourself safe. Life is long and you will have more than this one chance to do things. It shouldn't be about legal age (which I think is 18) and unfortunately that is not something you will understand until you are a parent- give them the benefit of the doubt and put your trust in them this once.

For a start, that list of countries is too long. You could backpack round that lot forever. That would cost an awful lot of money. I know you say you can pay for it, but if you get into trouble or run out of money, the first thing you'll do is phone your parents. I was 16 once and wanted to see the world. Well, it didn't happen like that. I did travel and it was gutty. I worked and travel led. it never happened for me. It does happen for some. You need to be tenacious and tough. I do not know you, I have no idea how you will cope. I am now in my late 60's. I've seen many parts of the world and I've retired abroad. I have a great life, but to do that I had to work for it. My advice to you is to work towards your dream of seeing the world. As Eleanor Roosevelt said, "The future belongs to those that believe in their beautiful dreams". I'm a parent. My kids are in their 40's. Yes, they are still kids to me. I worry just as much today as I did when they were growing up. Don't blame your parents, they just want the best for you, but above all else, they just want you to be safe.......ok?
6 :
What kind of a 16 year old is able to finance such a trip? You've either seriously underestimated the cost of travel, or you're into some pretty shady business, or have a vast inheritance. A trip like that would cost thousands of dollars. Perhaps your parents might feel more comfortable with a more structured approach, and it might be more beneficial for someone your age. There are short-term volunteer projects of many different types in nearly every country of the world. Program costs are low, and it's a great way to get more immersed in a culture, something you definitely won't be able to do with the agenda you've planned. Bring a friend along, or go on your own.

You've already asked this question 7 times; how many times do you need to see the word NO before you realize that your parents are right and you are wrong? What fallacy makes you think this is your only chance? That is total nonsense. Your list is ridiculous for a single trip of a seasoned adult traveler; it is total insanity for a child. Most of those places won't permit to stay in a hotel alone; some won't let you enter the country unaccompanied. The cost will be astronomical; £10.000 to £15.000 easily, maybe more. The travel to all those places will be huge, and accomodations - even a hostelry - for 4 months (120 nights) would be thousands. Perhaps you should ask your parents what it cost them to have you in their home for 4 months - the answer will shock you! The visas you will need will cost hundreds, and if they knew you were traveling alone the would deny the visa - especially Russia. So you speak a little French and a little Russian - enough to get around? Or only a few random words? What about Flemish, Spanish, Maltese, Croatian, Serbian, Albanian, Greek, Moldovan (Romanian), Hebrew, Armenian, Finnish, Norwegian, or Icelantic? To answer your quesion: NO - you should not be given permission to do this. NO - you are forbidden by law from leaving home without permission. You will be labelled a runaway and hunted down like a fugitive. Even asking such a question proves you lack the responsibility or maturity to be let out of your home without supervision - let alone out of the country.

Ermmm....good luck? I'm not sure, MAYBE your parents would let you do it. There are some things you need to learn about Europe. 1. It's VERY expensive compared to the U.S. You would need thousands and thousands of dollars to do this. 2. There are big cities, surrounded by miles and miles of beautiful countryside. The places of attraction would be the cities, where you could be mugged or knifed very easily. Crimes like that happen much more, especially if they can tell you are an American tourist. 3. You'd need to take ferries to get to some of these places. Also expensive. 4. You couldn't possibly get to all of these places in one trip; even if that trip lasted for the entire summer. You might be able to accomplish it in a year or two. Probably two. 5. There's legal issues. I'm not sure if the actual trip is legal or not, but think about: passports, border crossings, how long it's legal for you to stay without a visa, etc . 6. Places like: St. Petersburg, Moscow, Armenia, Israel, Moldova, Albania, Serbia, Montenegro, Hungary, and Croatia will seem very poor compared to where you come from. You won't be able to feel comfortable or at home, and your living arrangements will be filthy and INCREDIBLY EXTREMELY UNGODLY expensive. 7. What if you get sick and need to go to the hospital? In Germany and France you'll be all right, but in Albania? No, I really don't think so. 8. In Israel, there's constant fighting and shooting. Bombs. So, as an overview, if your parents DO let you go, then they're looking to get rid of you. However, If you were to go to less places WITH your parents, you could even to to Israel and Albania. It would be a much more pleasant experience with your parents. You'll be in for lots of culture shocks, especially in Eastern Europe.

I'm only 24 and we don't have any kids yet, maybe in two years, but if you were my Kid, I'd give you a big fuzzy and ask you to chill until you were 18 which makes most of your activities legal while on your own. I would encourage you to travel the US for a month of the summer to get some practice where we could always reach each other if needed, and stay in contact, and would be better if your best friend went with you. Your well being would be one of the most important things in the world besides my Lady to Me! :- ) You need to go and fulfill this dream cuz it would be the most amazing experience and there are things that fill in your education beyond what school can offer, besides it's going to be allot of fun and just awesome so long as you continue your education plans when you get back. From your writing, I would be amazing proud of you, not about me, but about you! You should be doing this trip at 18 and not 16 for more life experience and legal reasons. If you have a means of travel money now, by 18 you could have even more. Me! :- )

You've already asked this question 7 times; how many times do you need to see the word NO before you realize that your parents are right and you are wrong? What fallacy makes you think this is your only chance? That is total nonsense. Your list is ridiculous for a single trip of a seasoned adult traveler; it is total insanity for a child. Most of those places won't permit to stay in a hotel alone; some won't let you enter the country unaccompanied. The cost will be astronomical; £10.000 to £15.000 easily, maybe more. The travel to all those places will be huge, and accomodations - even a hostelry - for 4 months (120 nights) would be thousands. Perhaps you should ask your parents what it cost them to have you in their home for 4 months - the answer will shock you! The visas you will need will cost hundreds, and if they knew you were traveling alone the would deny the visa - especially Russia. So you speak a little French and a little Russian - enough to get around? Or only a few random words? What about Flemish, Spanish, Maltese, Croatian, Serbian, Albanian, Greek, Moldovan (Romanian), Hebrew, Armenian, Finnish, Norwegian, or Icelantic? To answer your quesion: NO - you should not be given permission to do this. NO - you are forbidden by law from leaving home without permission. You will be labelled a runaway and hunted down like a fugitive. Even asking such a question proves you lack the responsibility or maturity to be let out of your home without supervision - let alone out of the country.
When I am 16, I want to backpack through Europe on my own for about 4 months. I can get the money needed but how can parents be convinced to let me do this, on my own. I am very responsible person and do not try and get into bad situations. I speak some French and some Russian so would that be any reason to let me do what I want to do, This will be only chance. The countries that would be seting foot on are. So how how much would I need to bring , money? Would being with my best friend make them more likely to let me go At 16 can I legally do what is wanted without permission? Dublin, Ireland Reykjavik, Iceland Oslo, Norway Stockholm, Sweden Tampere, LS, Finland St. Petersburg, Russia Moscow, Russia Yerevan, Armenia Jerusalem, Israel Chisinau, Moldova Athens, Greece Tirana, Albania Belgrade, Serbia Podgorica, Montenegro Budapest, Hungary Zagreb, Croatia Rome, Italy Malta Madrid, Spain Andorra La Vella, Andorra Paris, France Brussels, BRU, Belgium Amsterdam, Netherlands Should I be allowed to do this?

Ermmm....good luck? I'm not sure, MAYBE your parents would let you do it. There are some things you need to learn about Europe. 1. It's VERY expensive compared to the U.S. You would need thousands and thousands of dollars to do this. 2. There are big cities, surrounded by miles and miles of beautiful countryside. The places of attraction would be the cities, where you could be mugged or knifed very easily. Crimes like that happen much more, especially if they can tell you are an American tourist. 3. You'd need to take ferries to get to some of these places. Also expensive. 4. You couldn't possibly get to all of these places in one trip; even if that trip lasted for the entire summer. You might be able to accomplish it in a year or two. Probably two. 5. There's legal issues. I'm not sure if the actual trip is legal or not, but think about: passports, border crossings, how long it's legal for you to stay without a visa, etc . 6. Places like: St. Petersburg, Moscow, Armenia, Israel, Moldova, Albania, Serbia, Montenegro, Hungary, and Croatia will seem very poor compared to where you come from. You won't be able to feel comfortable or at home, and your living arrangements will be filthy and INCREDIBLY EXTREMELY UNGODLY expensive. 7. What if you get sick and need to go to the hospital? In Germany and France you'll be all right, but in Albania? No, I really don't think so. 8. In Israel, there's constant fighting and shooting. Bombs. So, as an overview, if your parents DO let you go, then they're looking to get rid of you. However, If you were to go to less places WITH your parents, you could even to to Israel and Albania.
