turnoi, i really don't mean to be confrontational here, but one point here hasn't been cleared. that is that is you visit or live or work in two different countries you may as well be able to judge them better later. however, if you do not know one of these two countries well enough as you have not been there (yet), then you may not be able to see clearly what the country is like. again, it's just one little point that i see on here having read the posts on topic.
Cheers and beers to our OP getting high in the mountains :)
