Going vegetarian shouldn't be much of a problem at all.  I know there's a few people around here on the board who are vegetarian, and I'm sure they'll weigh in with any additional advice for you as far as nutrition goes.
I'm not sure what products you can get over there, but the Morningstar Farms soy-based "meats" are delicious. Some of them are a little higher in fat, such as the breaded "chicken" patties (my favorite! they taste just like chicken!!), but they're still all quite a bit lower than their meat equivalents. They have burgers, nuggets, breakfast sausages (also very good!) and more. Boca Burgers are also good, if you can find them.
Oh wait... I just saw that you've already been veggie once. Haha, sorry about that - you probably already know about all that stuff, then.  Just watch out for the fats, and if you're concerned about getting enough protein, go with soy- or bean-based patties (rather than, say, Gardenburgers, which I think are mostly rice and vegetables, if I remember correctly).
If you find the right meat substitutes (a health-food store can probably help), you can substitute vegetarian options in a lot of meat-based recipes. I also look over on VegWeb a lot for inspiration.
Good luck!
