....long story short....they're up the shite. I've been monitoring a real estate website in Italy (in the area near to where I stay)....and prices there have dropped. There was a small 2 bedroom apartment (with a lock up garage) near the beach for less than $200k.

I recall that in the USA when property prices fell, foreigners were snapping up bargains.....so much so, that a law was passed making it difficult for foreigners to buy property. This may also happen in places like Italy & Greece if their mess gets any worse as there may be some bargains to be had if you have some money. :)

Bavarians are so much nicer than the rest though :p

There is an adapted saying "he who is tired of Berlin is tired of life". Well I must be dead because I didn't like it. One night out, it was the only time anywhere I've been genuinely scared for my safety.

My heart lies in a (sometimes) sleepy little German town called Nurburg.

Hi Wrxxxr.....just curiosity.......when have you been in Berlin? I think it is quite save now. The last time I was scared in Berlin was before the wall came down and I somehow ended up in the wrong area (right wing area, Berlin West) looking like a left wing "stone thrower" (black hoddie, Doc Martins, black jeans and a leather jacket).....hmmmmmm not a good experience..........I am very bad at throwing stones but I am a fast runner.......lol....luckily.

R, I was there late 09. About 9.30pm I was walking through / near the holocaust memorial. short story is that there was 2 groups of different guys following me (but together if you get what I mean) and it was only by good fortune that I ran into a group of American blokes. Literally the only time anywhere that I have been genuinely scared.

Gotta say I didn't enjoy Berlin and I really thought I would. Best thing was walking into the HBH knowing a reasonable chunk of Germany was still to be explored and I could use the language I was taught!

Didn't think I'd like Munich but I loved it and I hate beer lol
