My advice (Score:2)

Having changed countries a few times already, I have just one word of advice: learn the language before you get there.

    :-) Thanks! I had trouble learning to speak American when I first moved here. I still sometimes have trouble. I think native Spanish speakers have an accent that eludes me still, and vice-versa. When Jenine and I were in El Paso trying to get my work permit from the INS office in Mexico (not recommended, btw) we had dinner one night and Jenine had to translate English to English between me and the waitress. It was very amusing.
