Hi dw!
I´m in that area and think it is good, but not sure for the long term. Are winters really dreary, with much rain? I came this year end of winter, beginning spring and was surprised by all the rain and cloudy days, though I still loved it -- just don´t do well with clouds & rain -- moved from Seattle, WA USA and don´t want similar weather here!
Anyways, this area is fun, the people great and crime low (except for summer thefts...) plus a lot of activities for kids...
Any input you could give appreciated... wondering if salaries are much lower here as well since has high unemployment rate?
