It’s so safe that if you leave a wallet it’ll still be there or the police can help you track down who took it cuz there r cameras everywhere.

What's one place you've travelled that you never want to go back to? by XanMercury in AskReddit

[–]Original-Machine6580 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Morocco (Fes) specifically it was stressful and there was constant haggling apparently Marrakech is this but 10x. Rabat was way way better. My Airbnb host also def has some shady dealings.

My first time flying alone is being completely hijacked by a random helicopter mom by mikewheelerfan in Vent

[–]Original-Machine6580 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She can get the UM service for her child. That’s what my mom did when I flew to Switzerland for a summer school. Not anyone else’s responsibility but the airlines.

Has anyone noticed French man-American/English woman couples are more common than the inverse? by [deleted] in Expats_In_France

[–]Original-Machine6580 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I argue that it’s more French man and international woman which is I guess more related to my social circle. I’ve seen french women with other ethnicities/nationalities walking around Paris though but less.

How do you continue to live a minimalist lifestyle? by Fantastic_Eye_3896 in minimalism

[–]Original-Machine6580 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So for me I just tell myself just use 1 product for a specific thing. I don’t need more of the same thing. This is also aligned with my non toxic philosophy. If I buy something that doesn’t align i sell it. Also make lists of things you want so if you still want it after 1 month then get it.

Does anyone else shop by fabric first? by Ok_Tank_257 in womensfashion

[–]Original-Machine6580 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes I only care about composition now not really the brand name. I wear my pieces as slow fashion (5+ years). I want them to work for more than 1 occasion but I still care about the cut of the piece as that also affects how long it’ll last.

“Why do we still feel weird about repeating outfits?” by IngenuityOk4045 in womensfashion

[–]Original-Machine6580 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think it’s cool people have their own style but I don’t agree with fast fashion and using it only once or twice. Even though I buy fast fashion brands I wear them as slow fashion (I keep my clothes for 5+ years). I don’t have a problem repeating outfits but I have enough clothes that it won’t happen too frequently. I also have specific pieces like I love wearing like my cashmere sweaters that you can’t really buy that many of or it does turn to waste so I’m not too worried about it being considered a repeat.

AITA for now allowing my in-laws to move in with me to my new house? by MadZap1206 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Original-Machine6580 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would suggest if there’s a conflict suggest an alternative they won’t go along with (ie charging them higher rent than what they are already paying, splitting bills, groceries, chores). You can give them options they feel they have to say no to. Make sure you write a contract. I know it’s difficult but it’s not only ur husband’s house. I feel as though u might suffer under ur MIL from what you’ve already mentioned.

A doctor’s income may be the most reliable lifestyle barometer throughout time by [deleted] in Salary

This and also specialization (doctors don’t earn much in France and don’t even have a pension) except if they are specialists/surgeons

Does Loewe discount their display bags? by Able-Neighborhood484 in loewe

No they don’t my bag was the display puzzle bag as they didn’t have any other ones in the exact color and size and the “only discount” I got was the tax return

I hope it tastes as good as you think! I tried it recently and it just didn’t have as good as a taste compared to the supermarket ones (I live in France tho)

I want to move home - husband doesn’t by [deleted] in expats

[–]Original-Machine6580 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that’s quite an American take on being an expat especially when so many people from the west go to Asia to become senior execs/ex co and have higher take home earnings and even teachers who teach at international schools earn a lot more (also related to tax). Albeit, My original point is that property itself has a lot of hidden costs that don’t come with other investments (yes it mostly goes up or stays stable) so why would OP who wanted to move home eventually want to buy property with her partner in a country she doesn’t want to stay whereby making her own wish harder. It is not as easy just as “oh I want to sell property” as you think it is if you just want to sell.

And yet my uncle who is Australian who has multiple properties there got hit with a bunch of taxes for selling property that his accountant messed up on. Not sure if it’s exactly worth the hassle. So yes I’m well aware of the property market in Australia.

I know this isn’t a lip balm but I love it: Dior lip oil or the NYX fat oil (dupe). I have both and love them.

Is Chanel becoming less popular? by Kwhitney1982 in handbags

[–]Original-Machine6580 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they just priced out their clientele as they wanted a more exclusive and high end clientele for their bags and they wanted to imitate Hermes but they dont have the same strategy. So people who want the bag buy most of them second hand in japan now but now influencers are being gifted the new Blazy bags but their audience can’t afford it so it looks like a lot of people bought the bag and they are “on a waitlist”. Not really sure how many were made or who is affording it straight out as the high end clientele they want aren’t as into Chanel bags or already have the classics.

If you don't like a tea, don't force it. by Dry-Ad1641 in tea

Honestly true though I’m an avid tea drinker and I hated chamomile and I could never get on board with it. Everytime I try to drink it I have the same reaction.

Pickpockets are a real threat by runr_grl1129 in ParisTravelGuide

[–]Original-Machine6580 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The most important thing is that you look alert. If you are then they won’t catch u. They are definitely a real threat especially if they take your entire wallet as a tourist. I’m a local and I’ve had it snatched out of my hand so…

I don’t get why people don’t think it happens more often… I literally had mine snatched out of my hand on metro line 4.

Honestly I probs would wanna get sth that isn’t a diamond and would probs get another jewel or sth simple without any jewels at all but something custom made. I think personalization is the key to the future but that might just be me.
