I can only imagine how gorgeous it is there.
It's on my shortlist, but not at the top. 
Even if it's hard, I think pretty much everyone appreciates when foreign visitors at least attempt to use the native language. Even if you can't get your point across, people respect that you tried and tend to treat you better, which in turn makes the trip better.

I used to love watching House Hunters International - not only was it cool to see what housing was like in other countries, but also to see what your money could get you comparatively.
