There is very little you can compare to when you spend, say, a week, during a "lifestyle visit" and what it's like living here. Oh, you walk around the squares, try various restaurants, meet many nice people and speak with them, check out different rec centers, drive through some villages, etc. You are also amazed at all the clubs that are listed in Thursday's paper. That kind of list goes on and on.

However, until you live here you can never have the feeling of what it's like to be a permanent resident. When you come here for that lifestyle visit, it's a vacation and that's the mindset, almost totally. Practically everything is fun, particularly if you are a golfer. Still and all, it isn't like living here.
