"The quality of life is really nice -- and sensible. And people don't seem as stressed out and angry as they are in the States. You get the feeling they're not struggling and pushing hard all the time. They're living their lives and there's an appreciation of things rather than a constant striving to see how far you can get. At this stage in my life, I'm just sort of into living."
