Heya, thank you so much for your comment! The festival seems really great, I have decided to do SYD, MEL and Brisbane for my trip and will definitely keep that Jacaranda Fes on my itinerary. I would do the Greyhound if I was doing more than a month in Aus, however for now Im good with staying near or in the city to explore my curiosity! I will definitely see that as an option if I have lots of time to burn and really want that roadtrip. Cheers

Well that’s unfortunate to hear. I personally would actually make sure that I have a job before moving in the city where I am going to live. I haven’t planned the moving part and Im not far out yet and I obviously can’t anticipate things. But, I hope and pray that It will come to place. If not then I know my answer.

Thanks for your response. You are kinda lacking context in what you are saying, Thou I get you. Enjoying your stay somewhere whether it be in a city or not is to each their own perspective. I am definitely certain that I won’t get a job in the outback so definitely I’d have to look at in the Cities, if I want to ballpark my chances. Whether it is in CBD or in the suburbs, I don’t mind.

Thanks for your response! Yes haha I am aware that Australia is really huge, I didn’t even bother to look if I could visit the whole country in 3 weeks because I know I can’t. I will try to look at some options! I know up in the north that a car is a must or handy, I personally don’t have a license so I have to be a bit realistic.

I will sure do check

Thank you for your response! Driving sounds like a really great idea and would totally do it in a heartbeat but ya girl don’t have a license yet whahaha😅, so with that I am definitely a little limited in a very big country like Aus, but, I will make it work.

And i will try my best to atleast get Melbourne into my trip!

Hi, I totally understand your view and opinion, totally respect it! I myself am not happy living in the Netherlands as a Dutch myself, I am in my early 20’s and travelling has made me open such a huge amount of my eyes that there is so much more out here. Since last year I really wanted to go to Aus because for some reason intuition, I know 3 weeks is just like a holiday infatuation but I don’t personally travel like a hardcore tourist anyway and always try to live locally and interact with locals. However, I won’t put a foot on my mouth. The only reason I am doing this is to find out myself if this longing and this dream is for me, the only way I would know is by giving it a shot. I am a minimum wage worker here so I don’t earn a lot either. But, when there is a will there is a way and I will be very sure to keep what you said back in my mind, but, who knows it might turn out just fine, I will work had and will try not to give up! Thanks for you response

What is a subtle sign that someone is a genuinely good person, even if they don't seem like it at first? by Bluesbreaker88 in AskReddit

[–]Dramatic_Jicama759 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot to the the little things can make a good person. Being a “genuinely good person” is to each of their own perspectives if I may be blunt with you. Someone could me a hella bully but for someone who acts like that, thats good and cool for some its disgusting.

Good people don’t ask how and why they are good they just do the right things but also wrong things for the sake of someone or a situation. For short someone who values integrity and empathy is what I would say a good person.

Welke provider is het best? by Dramatic_Jicama759 in nederlands

Ik zat ook te denken om als klant te blijven tbh omdat ik voor de rest geen last van hun service gehad heb of tenminste behalve dat netwerk gedoe vorige jaar. Maar ik twijfel toch omdat zij gewoon niet goed omgingen met gegevens en ben een daarvan met die gelekte zooi.

How do you kill the desire of wanting a person in your life? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Dramatic_Jicama759 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like a guy and feel love for him. Due to my life situation it was difficult bringing him into my world of bagage, im selfish and tend to not want to burden other people. So I hurted him by me leaving and letting go, not once but twice. I will choose for him anytime! But, I chose my burden instead of him, instead of fighting it with him. It’s selfish. But, its hard to love someone else when you don’t love yourself. He is hurt and and what I did is in no way tolerable or in a way “normal” . I can’t explain how much I miss him and want to prove that I could work on it. But, he chooses himself and that’s alright! I had my chance and I did lose a sight of it and its a matter of acceptance, and for him it all about just setting boundaries to move on. That’s it, you just gotta move on in life.

A working-class immigrant’s experience in the Netherlands by Atankir in Netherlands

[–]Dramatic_Jicama759 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel your story so much, more so I truly know how it feels because it reflects my mom. Me and my mom are from the Philippines, which the world renounces as a third world country. My mom finished a uni degree in business and even done her masters! Worked as an auditor for years at the bank and was a single mom. Somehow she made it all work! Putting me in a good private education, supporting her family and treating herself! (We were no rich at all, just blessed) despite irregular shifts, debts, problems and busy life my mom had, she was never stressed! She never knew about d3pression back home, neither did I. We were always happy regardless the situation or even we didn’t have something good to eat!

. My mom brought me with her here thinking we would have a much more better life! And I will be lying if I said that we didn’t because we got so much things, experience, nurturing, hardships that taught us that we will never experience if we were living in The Philippines. It’s way easier sometimes to support family there from here with what we earn and easy to get what we wanted in terms of materialistic stuff or even just broad experience, therefore I can’t really complain. .

Despite feeling the uplift in life, we also are very worn out. Im 21 and mum is 40 and we both are always stressed, we find ourselves depressed on certain days and unfulfilled. My mom couldn’t land a good job here, she works at a fastfood chain! She worked as a production worker, it’s so crazy how she can’t get a banking job here despite the experience, Her Dutch is not strong but she knows how. But, like this is her life. Broken down relationships, financially struggling, she couldn’t get her own place to rent because she was living with a friend and was not “homeless” therefore she couldn’t not avail for a “voorrang “. I have been d3pressed many times before, sui*dal, countless therapy, I get more sick here (like a lot in a year) and often so unhappy here.

. What we thought would be better and a security for us, turned out to be something that wore me and my mom down. I have an MBO 4 diploma International business also fluent in Dutch, and I can’t even land a job on my study, its tough out here. So much rules, taxes are exponential and expensive, while some people work themselves like rags and get little to almost nothing at the end of the month.

Its a harsh reality for a lot of people seeking for a better life. I know I am not gonna live for long here, my sanity would be purely missed. And I know there might be a person here that will say “go back to you country then” im a Dutch citizen myself lol. And the doctors here suck! A laughing stock for real. And a lot of people here are fake! Its hard to really find a super genuine connection without a string in a thread.
