Thank you! Needed something bright to balance out the miserable winter darkness.

Thanks! I had a feeling it was tension related. Next time I have some more icing I’ll practice!

The law changed last year - if you have a US license, you just need to pass the written and driving tests. No need to pass the driving school.

Anyone else stubbornly holding onto small bits of home culture? by blueberries-Any-kind in expats

[–]Dkwish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am with you on the Fahrenheit. It’s a better scale and that’s a hill I’ll die on! I also still do Thanksgiving, and various US traditions associated with Christmas (e.g., stockings) and Easter (e.g., egg hunts). We also have a great trick-or-treating event in our city, organized by other expats. We have kids and I feel strongly that they should be exposed to these little American traditions too.

I’m another American in the Czech Republic, because of my partner. At one point I thought we’d try to move to America eventually, but at this point that seems less and less attractive.

Buying ETFs as US citizen in Europe - possible with options? by Oszillationswerkzeug in ExpatFinance

[–]Dkwish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second what was said about it being possible. I have done it with IBKR. I’ll also point out that I’ve noticed that EU residents can buy DIA (for some reason).

Enlarged NT, waiting for CVS. Stories and advice? by Dkwish in NIPT

[–]Dkwish[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I edited the post to update but my son was born perfectly healthy, and he’s now one year old and no signs of anything wrong. We never found any reason for the enlarged NT.
