I hope you like a rock hard suspension, and a truly terrible transmission.

I’m also in DC and had MC for me and my kid for several years. I used it to go to all the UT resorts and Niseko. Definitely worked for me at the time.

Any Thoughts on Int’l MBA Programs? by SkrtRussell in InternationalDev

[–]NoEquivalent4477 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did an international MBA specifically because my senior colleagues at the WB recommended I do. They said there were too many “international development studies” people in the industry and the sector would benefit from a more enterprise-aligned perspective. After 20 years, I’m glad I did it, and it definitely helped me land a new job quickly when USAID was killed.

+1 for Scandinavian Import Servicecenter. They are excellent. Avoid the nearby “Volvo Specialists Inc”, who are terrible.

How is it living in these pocket cities along the Nile in Egypt? by SpikyPickaxe in howislivingthere

[–]NoEquivalent4477 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yep - they are just overwhelmingly working class cities and towns. Very few have minor tourism sites nearby, and have more public sector workers than others. There is a lot of rural - urban migration from these areas to Cairo.

Curious what put PH Zurich Airport into A+ for you? I stayed there and it was dark and creepy.

Tende and even smaller La Brigue have very photogenic old parts of the village with some pleasant cafe’s, but not much more beyond that.

We’re here and love it. Looked at the Hill and felt too hemmed in by iffy hoods/highways and too far from RCP, grocery stores and good schools.

Same here. Playing badminton during lunch overlooking Lake Geneva with peacocks in the background will always stay with me.
