In the late 80's there were about 2.5 million americans living in Germany alone: all the soldiers, dependents and civilian workers. So you can't hardly go anywhere without meeting someone who hasn't lived in Europe or Asia because of the NATO (or other defense treaty) bases we have overseas.
I lived there for 11 years, until I was about 23. Great experience but I was very glad to move back to the USA finally. I was never able to enjoy a firearm collection over there. I doubt I'd ever move to another country for too long now because I'd have to give up my C&R's.
