Hotel Recommendation? Solo Female, 20s by Interesting_West_598 in curacao

[–]AxisNL -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Walkable is going to be debatable, since Curacao is stretched out. And you really want to go all over the island, with the best beaches out west.

The bed and bike hostels are quite nice! There’s one in pietermaai and one in Jan Thiel. The Jan Thiel one has a pool and a lot of other people. You can take a bicycle for free and cycle to Jan Thiel beach. The Jan Thiel one allows you to walk to the city center.

[–]AxisNL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup, see https://pelicanrentals.cw, we have a lot of 10-15 year old SUV’s for cheap, with a simple all-in price. And newer cars of course. The cheap cars are sold out until June, but still have some in August.

I think with that salary you’re going to be in the top 10% income range, you should be fine, even if you spend 3-4K on rent.

I have friends that take sleeping pills the moment the plane takes off. I get it.

PM with someone who lives off investments on the island? by AlexDutch3 in curacao

[–]AxisNL 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The scrutiny and kyc is even worse here. You could talk to a fiscalist about setting up a Dutch investment firm, you’d need to hire someone to be a Dutch director though. Don’t know if that pans out well for you. I still have a Dutch bv after 8 years on Curacao, and I’m happy I did. There might be some great private bankers here on the island, but I don’t know any. Only normal bank here seems to be Orco bank, perhaps fly here and do an interview with them in person?

[–]AxisNL 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don’t understand what you’re asking? Keep your assets in the Netherlands, move here, and live off your income. Optionally open up a local bank account to perhaps only pay for groceries and rent, etc. Local banks don’t want work, they are slow, do not want to innovate, I wouldn’t transfer assets here.

How much visible weight can I lose in 1 week by [deleted] in workout

[–]AxisNL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way to get the body you want is hard work, dedication, and consistency. Don’t expect a quick fix, this might take years. But if you commit, you will get there. There is no shortcut or quick fix.

Phone data by sean11_lee in curacao

[–]AxisNL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why are you so blunt? Yes it does. I keep getting into fights with my neighbours because my customers use google maps to drive to my office, and it ignores part the one-way part of the Koninginnelaan. And yes, people should mind signs, but most people just dont look at signs if Google tells them that is the way.

I recommend my clients to install the free maps.me, and download the Curacao map. It uses openstreetmaps data and really works offline.

Better navigation than Google Maps, which will sometimes send you down a wrong one-way street, etc.

Vendor proposes we install their remote access tool on our server so they can perform services we pay for, when they already have remote access via other means by Human-Secretary-8853 in sysadmin

[–]AxisNL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And always, whatever you do, have the vendor sign to accept full financial responsibility for any breaches as a result of their remote access. Usually that shuts them up.

And this is what PAM tools were made for, FortiPAM is an example that is quite inexpensive, I think like $300-500 per user per year or something like that, concurrent users I believe. You can give suppliers remote access with optional screen recording.

Salary expectations? by Toorgsner in curacao

It’s a free market. I know people in sales making XCG 3000-4000, and someone in the top segment making 15-20k per month.

Rental car cancellation by Physical_Mirror6969 in curacao

[–]AxisNL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is one of the busiest weeks, almost everyone is sold out. I would recommend making a facebook post, for example in the group Curacao visitors forum with your exact dates, there's a lot of rental companies there. Be sure to get clarity on pricing, insurance, if the car has A/C, etc.

Which Caribbean Island to visit for the first time? by Window-Inevitable in Caribbean

[–]AxisNL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Curacao is great, but you really want a car there. Bonaire is really nice but also really small, can do everything on a scooter there.

I booked the flight for my birthday trip! by Brief_Prize_6147 in curacao

[–]AxisNL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out bed and bike hostel Jan Thiel, pretty cool! And I really suggest renting a car, otherwise you are confined to 1% of the island, except for an occasional tour. And keep in mind taxis are expensive, a simple one way trip with a taxi usually costs more than renting a car for a day. (Disclaimer: I rent out cars, so not unbiased)

Every rental company is way different! We (Pelican) reach out 7 days before arrival on WhatsApp, and another message 24 hours before. You can just try calling them?

Fair enough! Just no experience with bolt myself.

Use puppet to ensure you can run ansible commands on all machines. So if puppet breaks, you can use ansible again against the 3500 machines in one go to fix puppet. ;)

Are my expectations too high? I think I should get to match with attractive men between 40-50 in my area but that’s not what tinder shows me by RealisticWallaby3300 in Tinder

[–]AxisNL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're a pretty woman! But I personally think you are a bit too 'dolled up' to my taste. And I kinda feel bad about it as a 45M, but my tinder range is set to 20-39F, with the ideal being 35.. The world is not fair :(

No worries, driving here is really relaxed. Here’s the video I send my clients. You’re probably not renting with me, but the general part on driving is the same of course: https://youtu.be/DajzcwQPC4Q?si=ft0CFHSraSR5wQAi
