I'm married to a citizen of the Netherlands. I've visited Europe a lot but haven't lived there. I want to, though. Everything on the list is something I have learned on my visits. My first big adjustment was when my then-boyfriend said, "Hey, we should go to the store and get some food" and I blew off the suggestion, thinking we could just go the next day, Sunday. Oops! I was pretty shocked that we could not just go to the store anytime I felt like it. But I think it's good, except for when you very unexpectedly need something and can't figure out a way to get it.
