As far as peeing in public goes, one of my wife's most vivid memories of the Paris subway was the smell of urine.
Haha. Beautiful memories. That kind of stuff sticks with you, doesn't it?
As for the income exclusion, yeah, I'm aware of it. Actually file it every year. I don't see it so much as an advantage as much as a pathetic slave motion I must perform to avoid paying two rabid nation states tribute, with my money, which should be none of their business.
All the same, I appreciate it.
