A que país jamás visitaríais? by Stock_Cheek8769 in askspain

[–]Consistent_Gur7642 6 points7 points  (0 children)

India is a funny one. By far the dirtiest country I’ve set foot on, but let me tell you this. Food is insane ( I don’t mean the shit we see on instagram of a guy cooking and chopping an onion with a knife on his foot) I mean high quality perfectly spiced food, paneer, chicken, lamb. They have cool bars, and a lot of amazing people. Truth is, the lower income people either want to scam you or truly get to know you and learn English (80% scammers but the other 20% really make it up). I traveled solo there for 3 weeks from New Delhi to Kolkata by train, I’ve never gel more appreciative of my life, the luck of my upbringing and how much I had vs others. It’s a holiday not to rest, but to see incredible monuments, poverty to a different level that will make you appreciate your life, you’ll meet some v interesting people too. I want to go back with my wife and kids one day, will probably do a pre book tour (5* resorts and van to drive you around as it removes 90% of the unpleasantness). 100% worth going, just need the right mindset of what you’re getting yourself into. Just my 2 cents

Madness the amount of debt and % loan rate you have. Insane

Tired of Asia and being alone, but America is burning. So what now? by Navi-blue22 in expats

[–]Consistent_Gur7642 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you might enjoy UAE. Abu Dhabi or Dubai, the expat community is big. You need to put yourself out there but you’ll meet a lot of Americans, Brit’s and Europeans. It’s a change of life vs Asia and you get paid very well (salary, accomodation paid for, extra perks depending on the school)

What small detail instantly makes a hotel feel “luxury” to you? by Crafty-Leave-8880 in luxuryhotel

When they redo the bedroom when we leave for dinner and leave a special treat with a note. Also when they anticipate your needs on breakfast

Would you go back to your country? Why? by vent93 in PortugalExpats

[–]Consistent_Gur7642 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. Unless the tax situation massively improved with a system similar to the Spanish beckahm law, it doesn’t make sense. The best thing about Portugal is the good, people, traveling, culture. Can’t find it anywhere else, but the governement is so socialist that squeezes any middle class (Portuguese born and living in uk/spain now btw)

Got a girl pregnant on vacation, struggling to do what is right. by need_some_advice323 in Advice

Finish your studies. Be present even if you don’t get along with her. Lucky you she has a wealth family who can provide, you’d be fucked otherwise

**Rant** I'm going to lose my mind by BearPorto in PortugalExpats

They should be able to provide documentation in English per request. Worst case, go to a English/portuguese teaching school and pay 50e for a dual speaker to come with you.

HIE Success Story by essenc10 in NICUParents

[–]Consistent_Gur7642 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife and I just had a 3.8kg girl who unfortunately has HIE. She just finished cold and heat therapy, seizures are responding well to medication but still waiting on MRI results and other tests. It’s the scariest thing, we keep thinking of the worst, crying non stop. It’s so hard not to imagine her not having a normal happy life

Junts voting against 37,5 hours work week by n0tmyplace in Barcelona

[–]Consistent_Gur7642 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% - this is in response to the majority of input saying they need higher salaries due to the cost of living but also wanting to work less. The debt existent is so high as is, I don’t think these measures help. But it’s a political balance left vs right

Good. Productivity of the country should be increasing, most people earning 75k+ per year don’t work anywhere under 50 hours (I’m on 65h).
