In the middle of my license I lived in Germany for 3 years. Basically
(if I had finished my license by then) I read it would take about
10-12 hours to get my German-JAA license.

it now takes about 100 hours. yes, I know, ridicolous.

Am I reading this correctly? 100 hours to convert from FAA to JAA? Since
when?

That's a little misleading. You need to have 100 hours P1 to turn an FAA
PPL into a JAA one. The only incremental requirement is a checkride and a
couple of ground exams. Many states, such as the UK, validate non-JAA PPLs
automatically, so even if you don't do the conversion you can still fly
G-reg aircraft. Note that this doesn't apply to the IR.
