Move back. It's beautiful and people are nice. And the standard of living has been steadily improving. Right, right?
No, I mean, you're the one who said they miss it.
If they're not willing to move back, I'm willing to move there in their place. I'm an American, but I promise I'm not an asshole who hates everything foreign. I'll integrate and learn the language!
Honestly, I'd be on board with being closer to Ireland too. I'd take some cheese and whiskey, what do you want in return? You can pop over for some traditional Swabian dumplings (Maultaschen) too, if you'll invite me for something of your own make - I confess I'm not too familiar with typical Irish food, but I did have one banger Shepherd's Pie at an "Irish Pub" around here once. I'm up for whatever.
You guys need to click the link and read the names of the countries in detail.
I don't even know exactly why the placement is so funny. Germany. Poland. It's a good joke even without the details, but with the details it is truly wonderful.
I am now Belgian... As a Norwegian we ended up with the northern wastelans. But at least Sweden really got fucked. Now if Denmark got just as fucked I could get behind this
I've previously postulated in other fora, that the country of New Zealand is named after the Danish island of Sealand. To which a Dutch person corrected me, because of the usage of the letter Z it was obviously named after the Dutch province. Needless to say it quickly evolved into a battle of witts, culminating in threats of alternative, and quite aggressive, applications of something called a klomp and a retort on the blandness of Gouda and suggestions for other orifices in which said cheese could be stuffed.
Anyhoo, if we could not start this discussion again it would be much appreciated... I would like to be able to go buy hagelslag and those weird little liquorice pieces with bee wax shells.

I didn't move from Poland to Denmark for Poland to follow me here.

I don't get Your point. I know how it is in Poland, I've lived there almost my whole life. And moving back is exactly what I am planning to do.
