    thats not to strange. you cant get a license in jersey until your 17. if you said 25 or something, that might be odd.

    did you like it over there? what kind of differences are there? like what did they serve at lunch or what would you do after school? i picture tea and cakes for lunch and a game of cricket after school. lmao. pip pip chereo.

      Really? In FL you can get a learners permit at 15.

      I did like it over there, but as a teen I was ready to get back to the US. It's very different there, but the differences are becoming less and less with so many American things going abroad. There are still no 7-11's, big grocery stores, fast food variety, etc. There's little towns with bakerys, markets, etc - I like that. The clothes and shoes are different, so I ordered everything (and that was before internet days). My friends/schoolmates came from all over. We were all military, but everyone was so spread out. Like some kids had a 2hr bus ride (just one way). We didn't get to do much on weekends because our parents had to do all the driving, and we all lived spread apart. It's real cool to look back and think about how much I got to see though - castles in Germany, the tulips, neat things in Belgium, EuroDisney in France, etc. I'd love to go back as an adult - I'd have an even better appreciation.

      Oh, the school was government run, so we had regular school cafeteria food, and then like a snackbar (pizza, fries, etc) I went to school with Americans and Canadiens, but there was also a German section.

            Never, ever move a car cross country boarders, especially across the ocean. Its pure insanity. My Dads moving to Singapore. Cost him an ass load just to get our stuff there, let alone how long it takes, 2 months.

                Well, yes. He is moving there for work, so I don't suppose it cost him a lot. None the less they should have just given him a stipend and let him go to Ikea there or something.
