      Could be a military member stationed there. A guy I work with is one of those 4chan “libertarians” and had nothing but “horror stories” about living in Germany. Same guy is terrified to venture into the local major metropolitan area or take the light rail system.

        Core memory unlocked: Looking at a store called “Expat store” or something in that vein in Den Haag as a little boy, asking my parent what “expat” is. “That’s an American immigrant.” “So, why are they not just an immigrant?” “That way they feel better about themselves.”

        I only just realised how based my parents are.
