Once again, thank you for the kind greetings, everyone!

Maybe you can save up some money for whenever they return to Europe (I have a feeling they will--they seemed to love Bonn)? Even if you have difficulties with the language, I'm sure lots of Germans know English. Plus, if others on this forum (*cough* Kugayama) can make it all the way to Japan, I'm sure you'll be able to survive in Germany.
(Despite saying this, I understand it'll be difficult. I'm trying to imagine what I'd do if Kalafina went to Mexico, and I just can't see myself going that far)
