Hi Robert...One sentence of yours made me think for a moment:"She is lucky she can stay..." I am living in Switzerland. Even the Germans strive to come here to work and live. Euro crisis, rising taxes etc. Russia (also Ukraine) are emerging countries. China even more. You are young enough to see the possible decline of the west. I mean, the British Empire is already dead for many decades now. My point? Not all ladies here are looking for escape, mainly they want a real partner. And less and less of them are interested into living in a suburb of Paris or in a down-turned industrial city in England.
