A country of unbelievable backwardness. The curse and misfortune of being from a country awash with "checks." 2024 and still into cheques (or "checks"), money orders, Fahrenheit, gallons...
I can't thank my lucky stars enough for my DE passport.
I don't believe your nonsense and lie about France (especially) and Japan. Americans cannot easily open accounts outside the U.S. They and their passports are shunned by non-U.S. banks.
I have national and private insurance coverage in Germany but judging from all the inputs here, there is much to learn and be mindful of when unwell on foreign soil.
Very helpful and educational. Thank you.
