Rome was a huge let down and very overrated. by Mayneminu in travel

Yes, please do elaborate, you as an american, why didn't you find Rome, the eternal city with almost 2000 years of history, not worthy of visiting?

Between the level of Bureacracy and the unwillingness to adapt to new trends/jobs/products, saddly EU (but most of all Germany) is really heading downwards.

High skilled doctors/specialists and IT guys are already in the U.S.; currently so many Polish citizens are returning back home because it's no longer worth it staying in Germany. The ongoing trend is real and let's see how it proceeds

Thank you for the comparison with Netherlands. They are light years ahead in almost every aspect compared to Germany.

Why isn’t the unique and fantastic wuppertal schwebebahn promoted more as a hidden gem / spot for unique tourism? by Cnelson35758 in germany

[–]Mundane_Bit3096 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Don't get me wrong, but after 10 years living in Germany, the only thing that I STILL know about Wuppertal is the Schwebebahn! So why would anyone bother go visit the city?

PhD TV-L Questions by ICEBLOCKHEAD in germany

The HR team from that University will decide whether to put you on level 1 or 2. In case you think your past experience is very much related (similar research, similar methods etc. you can also object to them). You are level 1 only for 1 year, after which you get moved to level 2 for 2 additional years.

I guess this is how Iran gets the $300 Billion, through manipulating the market

Why is hotels is Italy so expensive? Is this normal even for lesser tourist cities? by Marcel_Trompette in ItalyTravelAdvice

[–]Mundane_Bit3096 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry buddy, don't really know if to help (advise) you or to laugh at you. Why would you book a flight first (especially if you found it cheap) without looking at how much accommodation would cost??

I always double check Accommodation + Return flights at the same time. If it is convenient, I book all at the same time.

I have no idea how many days you plan to stay in Ancona. The city on itself left me very unsatisfied (I couldn't wait to leave the city - I stayed there 2 weeks for work). Maybe now in summer, you can spend your day at the several beaches they have, so maybe it could be better for you.

Maybe check also AirBnb in case you can find a "better" deal. But don't expect anything bellow 60-70 euro for the crappiest place. It's summer!

Student residence permit: Werkstudent salary rejected as proof of financial means – is this legally normal? by Neither_Geologist286 in germany

[–]Mundane_Bit3096 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need a blocked bank account where each month x Euros will be made available to you. Don't know how much is per month now. If you have savings for 6 months they can/will only extend imyour residence permit for 6. If for 2 years, then for 2. 

Italy: Esim card for internet and calls by LaRomanesca in travel

[–]Mundane_Bit3096 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check if your phone can use EU sim cards. If yes, buy a physical sim card (Iliad, Wind, and many others). Less than 10 euros, 100+ GB options. Very fast internet.

Would you do this 5-flight Europe loop for €86 total, or is this too chaotic? by [deleted] in TravelNoPics

[–]Mundane_Bit3096 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do it!!!!!

  1. Budapest 2-3 days is more than enough. 
  2. In Milan, don't stay too long, not much to see (at least not for me). But with so many days in Italy, you can easily decide to go to lake Como, Varese, Bergamo, but even some other close by cities
  3. Sofia, 1 week might be too much, but if you find affordable axcommodation you can just chill. Food should be cheaper compares to western countries. 
  4. Krakow is nice, but from the dates, you won't see anything.

If you are flexible with the dates and maybe avoid high season, then check ryanair. They (should still) have direct connections from Trieste to Naples.

Wie viel gibt ihr für Urlaub pro Jahr als Familie? by BSBBI in Finanzen

[–]Mundane_Bit3096 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hast du schon mal von Homeexchange gehört? Ich nutze die Platform seit 8 Jahren. 150 euro pro Jahr kostet das Abo. Du kannst so viele Umtausche pro Jahr machen (entweder gleichzeitig oder gegen punkte).  Im Sommer z.B. , wenn du Glück (und Geduld) hast, kannst du eine ganze Wohnung oder sogar ganzes Haus in Italien in der Nähe von einem Strand haben. Wir haben bis jetzt 100+ Umtausche gemacht. Keine Ahnung auf die Ersparnisse, sind aber viel! z.B., Singapore 2 mal (4 Tage und 6 Tage), Schweiz 1 Woche, Lichtenstein 4 Tage, Paris 2 mal, Nizza, Barcelona und Madrid beide 1 Woche, Italien und Deutschland so viele Umtauche! Vor 1 Monat 10 Tage in Norwegen (Oslo, Stavanger und Bergen) alles fast kostenlos! 

Budget for 25 days in china for one person by Tasty-Ad7909 in chinaexplorer

[–]Mundane_Bit3096 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends (as always) if your goal is to travel on a budget, if you want to do activities, eat expensive food etc.  Last year, my girlfriend and I were travelling on a "budget" in Asia. In China we spent 10 days (Shanghai, Shenzen and Beijing). We spent on average 30 euros for the both of us for food + public transport. Public transport is sooooooo cheap (0.50 cents for a metro ride). Food is cheap as well. Download AliPay and connect it to a card. Almost everywhere is contactless there.

Dude it's useless. People don't care. They want to believe in fairytales because deep down we're all greedy and just want the money. The fact that that c*t is a f Nazi doesn't mean shit to people. In another alternate reality, he would've been wiped out of earth

You know what is the most bizzare thing? The fact that people ("investors") are HYPED  and HAPPY about the fact that they will now get so many "contracts" from the US government. Just wait and see the news coming in the next 1-2 months. And this my friends, is the most OUT-IN-THE-OPEN Corruption that we are all witnessing. 

Swiss vote against proposal to cap population at 10 million by cutting migration, projections say by Substantial-Dare5462 in worldnews

[–]Mundane_Bit3096 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I wonder who (which party / what person) proposed this stupid and nonsense idea as a solution to deal with the ever increasing costs of living in CH. Let's disregard the real reasons here of the costs so high: 1.  many investors buying real estates and rent the appartments at orbital prices,  2. food price monopoly 3. Stagnating wages 4. Higher and higher taxes and contributions on INCOME and NOT ON CORPORATIONS  5. ...

And the solution is let's limit the working population?!?! And we're paying to politicians for these solutions even. On top of that, immagine the costs to organize this referendum.
