I think, nobody here is from Bocholt, I was during the 70s/80s several times there by truck driving. I think, living in Portugal is much better.
I used to live in Münster a couple of years ago.... and I really loved it. The most beautiful city I've ever seen.
Within the European Union we need no Green Cards or something like this, to life on places, where the weather is finer, special for bikers is Portugal better, no ice and snow.
