Its one thing being a tourist-even a long-stay one...and a whole different story living there (and trying to make a living there-if you dont have steady income)..
It really is two different worlds and I think some people would not be able to handle the reality of living there (ie time to take the rose colored glasses off)
But maybe it would work for you-it has for others, although i would say thats the minority of people..If its something your really interested in then do your research and go from there.
