    Nope, while some things really annoy me about the country, I'm happy enough here for the moment.

    Plus I have no money to make any kind move.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Left three years ago as well. Now that I actually want to go back home there seems little point as very few jobs in my profession and my mates keep telling me not to bother as they're having trouble keeping/finding jobs.

    Left three years ago and I'm very sorry I ever came back. Once my college course is over I'll be done and dusted with this God forsaken place.

    I think it's time for the government to introduce a leaving tax of €500 per person.

    Only think keeping me here is my lack of German or Japanese. As soon as I can hold a conversation in either language I'm on the next flight out of this sh!th0l3.

    I could do with a bit of Germany myself. Them damn Germans want it all to themselves though.
