Hi Vickie,
The taxes and paperwork can be a pain but as long as you know that you are half way there to getting on top of it.
When you live here you just get on with it,its like anything when you get to know the system its no different to anywhere else,the reason some people find it difficult is because they dont attempt to learn the language and then the slightest problem phases them.
ummmm,lets see,would i go back to the UK,not a chance,i would imagine it will be totally underwater soon anyway.
