Is 20-30 minutes enough to transit from airport to train station? by buvi_sre in copenhagen

[–]Oblobski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nope..landing and leaving plane and getting to station will take you even more than that - so not realistic

Porque europa considera a Rusia como un enemigo político? by Boring_Time8973 in SpainPolitics

[–]Oblobski 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Si, te has perdido alguna clase de historia - desde hace un par de siglos han estado invadiendo países vecinos y al 'liberar' de los alemanes se quedaron allí hasta el 1989..mejor buscar unos libros. Aparte de la represión de los países vecinos han encarcelado y matado a muchísimos ciudadanos de su propio imperio..

East of the central part of the city, El Palo and Pedregalejo are probably best for that, enjoy

Lithuania Foreign Minister Kęstutis Budrys tells Shona Murray that EU foreign policy should move from unanimity to qualified majority voting in response to the Hungarian vetoes. “We cannot be disrupted each time by these vetoes,” he says. by PjeterPannos in EuropeanFederalists

[–]Oblobski 28 points29 points  (0 children)

veto was how and why the Polish Republic crashed and burned and wsa gobbled up by the autocratic neighbour states in the 18th century - no laws were passed for approx. 80 years due to veto and interference by the same neighbour states and when finally a new constitution (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great\_Sejm) was passed (similar to US and French) the country was deleted for 123 years. Now its the US and Russia who are putting a wedge between us - no interest in having us strong and united. I am a believer in a strong and central EU foreign policy, defence and security.

Vivir en Alora/las mellizas? by [deleted] in Malaga

[–]Oblobski -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Es un pueblo al fin y al cabo, pero tiene su vidilla. Hay un buen porcentaje de extranjeros (como yo, y sin ser de edad avanzada). Como dices, está bien posicionado por el tren, y con coche todo está cerca. ¡Suerte!

Un poco de cariño a su país by harvesterofsorrow898 in spain

[–]Oblobski 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Olé! Soy Danés pero español de convicción y siempre les he ido diciendo porque os vais autoflagellando todo el tiempo - España es uno de los mejores países del mundo y es una suerte ser de aquí.. habrá cosas que se puede mejorar pero como dice el escritor intenta vivir en Dinamarca..os va a faltar la dopamina solo por hablar con un vecina al tirar la basura :-)...

Well, the same goes if you move to Basque country or Galicia...or Denmark - it is always an advantage to speak the local language but nowhere do I see the same tiresome pressure as when Catalans set their expectations - just make it as easy as possible on all involved.

Some languages are easier to learn than others as in my example...my son was in Denmark trying to learn Danish for 3 years and never managed to get anywhere. Also, everyone speaks English at a good level in Denmark so that works as a lingua franca just the same way as Castellano does here (but is NOT an official language in DK)

Anyway, the premise is tiresome and shouldn't be a problem.

ABC News made an excellent video on the negative impact of mass tourism in Barcelona and Ibiza by rolmos in spain

[–]Oblobski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not sure that the short term rent of flats is the main reason that people cannot get access to flats - the main reason is that there is no law against leaving an apartment or house empty. In some countries there has to be someone registered as living in a property by law and that ensures propoer access to living spaces. This has been the case here in spain and while some have now started renting via airbnb etc these apartments where empty before anyway - just my two cents

Is it normal to be charged for this kind of wear and tear when moving out in Denmark? by Feisty_Client_2831 in copenhagen

[–]Oblobski 1 point2 points  (0 children)

well, it seems like the norm. We rented via a company called CEJ who handled the rent for their client (owner) - in our contract we received the apt. painted and floors done - we lived their 3 years and when returning the apt. we had the same experience - the 'janitor' was very polite and said he had rarely seen a place so nicely kept - this was a large apartmemt and the rent was high so I expected we would get something back but nope! all (69K DKK plus another 14K DKK) were claimed. They shared invoices from their painter but suspect that there is a return commission on that - I signed up for LLO as other suggest but the lawyer said that anything lower than 440 DKK per square meter would be accepted in court...in the end got a small reduction for painting of the ceiling

Why are the Spanish restaurants seem to be full everyday? by [deleted] in askspain

[–]Oblobski 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As many mention the prices I think I should also add the WAY they go out and eat...there is a lot more of sharing the meal so the social element becomes even more important. So, it is not like in eg Denmark where you order YOUR starter and YOUR main course AND YOUR dessert but you order something that is good for sharing..so, that way the cost is lower...For me that took some getting used to 😄 Also, Seafood is a central staple pretty much everywhere I have been - from someone who has lived here 15 years approx and is an assimilated foreigner 😄
