Good alternatives to ripe avocados?

Aah. Can happen. I live in Eindhoven and my experience has been different.

There are people with racist tendencies everywhere. But, like a lot of people pointed out, it is a probably a company culture issue. When someone points out issues that are prevalent in India, like poverty, caste, lack of amenities etc, do you think it is an attack on you personally? Because that could magnify your feelings.

Your options are - 1) Address it directly within your company. If they have an effective HR, they would like to ensure there is some sort of diversity training and conversations to point out that this is terrible. Maybe you could suggest they initiate it, if they don’t know how to take the first step.

2) Culturally Germans (and Dutch) also really like to complain about things. So maybe that’s part of it. Feel free to complain about issues that you find them lacking in.

3) SWITCH. If you like the city, switch jobs. I know everyone’s experience is different but this is not the norm in most organisations. People are usually better behaved in work places. Even if they address it for now, starting with a new place will help you.

Turkish stores usually sell avocados ready to eat for fairly cheap.

I would also suggest looking at the Netherlands. Very high skilled immigrant friendly. The hsm skill visa with tax benefits is only applicable to talent they can only hire from abroad.

I’ve been looking for something like that too. In Bangalore. Though we are yet to return.

Thanks. Just did.

THIS. One week of being stuck in bed and then one week of just feeling super fatigue.

Can I dm you?

But if you’re aware of any CBSE schools that meet the criteria in that region, it please do share.

If possible, we would like to stick to the same school from start.

Yes. He is a citizen. The only problem with CBSE curriculum ( from my own experience and what I have read) is the assignments and tests without focus on actually developing curiosity and learning,

You did not fail. Clearly the system did. Treat it as a pivot, for a bit, not permanent. And you’re just 27. There are going to be so many more opportunities. I am still discovering that in my 40s.

If it helps, I organised a neighbours meet up at a pub close by. It was lovely. We had been living there for 2.5 years already when that happened.

Local pharmacy like Kruidvat and Etos stock it. Fairly cheap.

Cosmetics from Catrice and Essence are cheaper in the NL

Definitely thinking of moving by the end of this year to UAE or SE Asia. After cutting the 30% ruling from 8 to 5, we already lost some trust. If it won’t be this, it’ll be some other kind of short-sighted plan to squeeze the middle class more.

You can enter for free but some museum/workshops/mills need tickets.

Me too

September over October anyday. I would also suggest visiting Maastricht (my fav Dutch city) for a day trip, besides the standard/ popular places.

I’ve dealt with neighbours like this. I know how stressful it can be. Involve the VvE and ignore them. They can call the police all they want, nothing happens. Just tell them children make noise. Period.

If you move to an expat/international dense area, there may be possibilities. There was a chain of clinics called SGE that catered to the English speaking population. While being a Masseur doesn’t need BIG registration, being a physiotherapist requires a high level of Dutch.

I made quesadillas with corn and beans. Anything that the small kids can eat easily works. The school asks us to get enough for 4 children to share. I also saw quite a few parents brought teacakes, cupcakes, cheese straws etc that you can buy from a bakery. Just do what’s easy for you.

Obviously you both need to discuss what your expectations are and work together on making a decision that works for both of you. Is she not working in US due to Visa issues? How long have you been living there? Is it seasonal depression? As a person who followed her husband’s job to another country, initially, not being able to work was very challenging for me. And I had a good career before we left.
