[futuresailors]

Import a bunch of American stuff and sell it for a profit?

You know water is more expensive that that damned Kofala...

dude if it only worked that way you can try to import awesome boutique pedals for good prices as long as you want, problem is that people don't want to buy them

the whole mentality here is just... mental. I want to live somewhere else

You'd have to cater to the mentality. Maybe you should import chainsaws or sex dolls..?

[DarkAxel]

Or Boss pedals? that's more like it

see other places first before you decide that. and by "see" i mean spend serious time there, not just visit hip places as a tourist. i became convinced of the wonderfulness of the US West Coast in my late teens/early 20s and moved from my home of Chicago, and in doing so discarded a young lifetimes' worth of irreplaceable social, musical, and personal connections of the kind which are very hard to recreate in a new home. i'm not saying "don't move somewhere else," or even "don't consider it"...i'm just gently pointing out not to undervalue the good things about where you are. when home is right up in your face, it's hard to appreciate it. a few years down the road, when you get tired of how e.g. none of the plants in the woods or by the side of the road are the ones you know from when you learned about such things as a boy, you may find different value in them. and when you've experienced the mores and the attitudes of people in a large city far from home, the city you used to know may not seem so bad. don't be too hasty to sail off the edge of the Earth. and don't burn the docks on the way out if you decide to sail. that's all i'm saying.

yeah, i see what you mean

it's just one of those things you don't mean when you say them. It just often times stupid... growing up and shit

let's focus on good things

[dubkitty]

like i said, don't dismiss the idea...just don't decide without a lot of consideration, more than i gave it. relocation can be a really positive thing, or it can be a terrible mistake.

[phantasmagorovich]

It is a great opportunity to reinvent oneself if you feel the need to. It was so liberating to move 2500 km away from where I grew up when I turned 18. It does make for some strange and uncomfortable rips in the soul though. I wholeheartedly endorse getting the fuck out of where you are as long as you can. There is a point when such moves get harder to pull off. Do it while you can.

Speaking of which: anyone in NYC with a well-paid job for a german journalist with a master in german language and literature?
