The EU is a good and a bad thing, bad in away that most countries have to get their act together (medication/regulation wise), but good because if you get something shipped from another EU country it's very unlikely to get stopped by customs. Before all these "poor" countries joined in, it was impossible to get anything into Finland, now it's very easy. I know there's a lot of fakes going around and even thou i think I'm well off, even i might had used fakes (one can never be sure, if they work). I think the UK might be the best place to be, gear wise there's good UGL's and you can get gear straight from Thai pharmacies, but even that could be changing and the Olympic games of 2012 aren't going to help. And yes i know that there's fakes even in the pharmacies over in Thailand...
