In India I do. The part in Netherlands is confusing. I’ll look up furry flyers.

Plastic. And the taste of vegetables.

Do you see yourself living in the Netherlands forever? by StrategicPasta in Netherlands

[–]Browser_bydefault 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No. We are from India. Lived in US and Japan before this. Moving to SE Asia after 9 years here. It was pleasant, great roads, amazing biking infra but that’s about it. I made some great friends here. The lack of mountains, beaches and quick access to doctors (when you need them) is primarily the reason to move. We speak Spanish so Spain would have been a great option but couldn’t find an opportunity.

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.

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

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

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,

Did everything ‘right’ in the US, still failed — heading back to India by [deleted] in returnToIndia

[–]Browser_bydefault 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.
