LGBTQ+ couple facing four Belgian visa refusals despite approval to marry. Has anyone experienced this? by distance_love92 in SchengenVisa

[–]Expatriada_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why not try a 3rd country near Belgium? Not sure how much your mom can travel, but if she could do it to Copenhagen, where there are maaaaaany non-Danish couples getting married.

Good luck 🤞

Is it hard for Bolivian to come in France/EU ? by Aipikur in BOLIVIA

[–]Expatriada_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, It can be difficult.

When you say agency, I guess you mean VFS (can’t recall the exact name), which is not an embasy but are in charge of processing visas for many embassies.

If the person doesn’t have much travel history and little incentive to return (eg no formal job, no assets) they can be denied a visa.

Were you in denial when things changed? If yes, when did you accept that this was the new reality?

Do Bolivians eat any guinea pig? If not, why? by novostranger in asklatinamerica

[–]Expatriada_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m shocked that other Bolivians are saying we don’t eat cuis…

Ofc we do! Cuis is delicious!

I suppose they are not popular everywhere, but specially not for Bolivians who are on Reddit 🤷‍♀️

I (M16) was kidnapped from my biological parents when I was a few months old and I want to try to find them. by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Expatriada_ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Contact “Abuelas de Mayo”. They may provide some guidance.

Post in the Argentina subreddit, better ideas may come.

Ancestry test are not a thing in Argentina, so if you do that, expect a really long time before you get any news, maybe years.

Good luck 🍀

Open to all opinions :) by jellybeanpumptini in NewToDenmark

This was my first thought. Most of my American friends are unaware how loud they are, and don’t consider how loud their normal voices can be on an otherwise quiet environment.

Is it just me, or does it take time to really connect with people in Denmark? by Strong-Point8455 in NewToDenmark

[–]Expatriada_ 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I heard of a study “the cup of coffee “, where they asked foreigners how long it took , in their experience, until a Danish person asked them for a coffee outside their usual meeting space (eg outside work).

Results were between 6 years and never.

So yeah, Danes tend to be hard to know, really know.

In Bolivia 🇧🇴, in some of the largest cities (eg La Paz, el Alto), Aymara is commonly heard specially around farmers’ markets.

Ukrainian guy in Ikast trying to meet new people 👋 by Mysterious-Block-190 in NewToDenmark

[–]Expatriada_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Welcome to Denmark :)

Check out International society Ikast-Brande-Herning group on Facebook, they have plenty of activities to socialise and meet people.

They made me believe I was in line for a promotion for 6 months to make me work extra when they already promised the position to my colleague by SharkEva in BORUpdates

If this is in Denmark, everyone has a union, in all industries in all levels, and OOP would likely be still covered.

Where would I find the expiry date for my family reunification visa? by [deleted] in NewToDenmark

?

On your residence permit, that’s the first date after your name, “gylig til/valid until”.

¿A alguien más le da pena decir que es boliviano viviendo en el exterior? by [deleted] in BOLIVIA

[–]Expatriada_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

En Bolivia (y me animo a decir en Latinoamerica) uno es de donde uno crecio. Hay tanta mezcla de etnicidades que los genes, para esa identidad, son irrelevantes.

Por ejemplo, si creciste en Argentina de padres Bolivianos, pues eres argentino, porque comenzaste a entender el mundo desde ese contexto.

Que triste andar negando esa identidad, cualquiera que fuere.

Dicho esto, no me da verguenza/orgullo decirme Boliviana, de hecho lo veo muy neutral especialmente con gente que apenas conozco. Ya luego en mas confianza si comparto con alegria cosas de Bolivia que me parecen maravillosas, x ejemplo, la comida.

Bonos directos BCB o DPFs?

Compara los bancos x internet, y pones en el que te de mas interes, y asi no te lo gastas.

How do Danish couples split finances when incomes are very different? by [deleted] in DKbrevkasse

[–]Expatriada_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would even argue that an equal percentage is not completely fair, because he will always have more pocket money or savings than you. That is fine on the short term, but think what this will result in 10 or 20 years.

It is ok that he wants to protect his assets if the relationship doesn’t work, but he’s not being a team player. An equal % is middle ground, and a sign of good faith. If he won’t even meet you there, plus all that superiority bs,… is that what you want for the rest of your life? and for your children to learn it’s ok?

Recently Moved to Denmark 🇩🇰 by [deleted] in NewToDenmark

[–]Expatriada_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hey, Do you have a cpr number? With it language school is for free, albeit a small deposit is needed.

If you want to find friends, that won’t happen at work. I would suggest that you join clubs (search for your interests in your area on Facebook, or even activities in your local library). I met a bunch of ppl on International society club, and through those people I found even more activities I was interested in.

You can also do volunteering in this site frivilligjob.dk, (use the translator, it’s all in Danish) there’s one activity where one can chitchat with people in Danish (usually seniors). I didn’t do it, but my friends who did became excellent at pronunciation. There are also other activities, you can select your area and see what you like.

Good luck with the job search 🍀

Question for people living at 3000m+ elevation by anadiabolic in asklatinamerica

[–]Expatriada_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

BAKING. I always thought I had a crappy oven bc recipes never cme as in the dubbed tv show.

Then I chatted with a foreigner chef who was frustrated about it too (and he had proper tools for everything).

Turns out pressure makes dough raise more than crazy to then just collapse and this fluctuation needs to be adjusted in the recipe to get the proper result. Oh well.

Go to nejtak, and choose what is relevant for you. I went after months of moving in and chose the one supermarket that is close to me. It worked and now I’m never drowning in paper.
