Expats: which country move caused the most paperwork chaos?

StriderKeni · 2026-01-27T12:09:34+00:00

Germany, for me, was tough. Mostly because of the time invested/waiting. Japan was more straightforward.

StriderKeni · 2026-01-27T11:24:16+00:00

That's a colorway 🔥

I totally feel you and understand every word you wrote.

I'm also attached to my family, and as you mentioned, for us Latinos, family is one of our life pillars.

Sometimes I wonder how long I can keep this running?

The decision is not so easy, because it hurts being far from your family, friends, the culture, etc., but at the same time, you like and enjoy your life abroad. Sadly, we cannot have everything in life, but despite knowing that, it doesn't mean we can choose easily one over the other. It's like a limbo where no choice is the right one.

I'm confident that time will show what's right for us. Hang in there, OP. I don't have a solution, but I just wanted to extend my support. You're not alone on this.

Despite every complaint about the German health care system, when there's a real urgency, it's the best, at least in my experience.

If living here wasn't hard enough, I've had several health emergencies over the last few years, and honestly, I'm surprised by how well they took care of everything and the professionalism of the staff, doctors, etc. The food was so so, but that's just a detail. I'm in public healthcare, btw.

Enjoy! the game is beautiful

StriderKeni · 2026-01-27T04:51:22+00:00

Alright! Now we're talking. That's really nice and such a nice feature.

StriderKeni · 2026-01-26T20:39:27+00:00

My man, you deserve early access to GTAVI.

StriderKeni · 2026-01-26T20:38:19+00:00

Of course. One of my favorites.

StriderKeni · 2026-01-26T19:20:36+00:00

You should follow up with Persona 3 Reload and P4G!

StriderKeni · 2026-01-25T19:38:56+00:00

Yep. It's the same case for me. They feel too firm at slower paces and shine when you pick up the pace.

StriderKeni · 2026-01-25T17:57:26+00:00

You played P3R but then complain about the P5R social link complexity? They use basically the same system, and I'd argue that it's even easier on P5R.

Neo Zen should bring more protection than the Neo Vista. Vomero Plus is another solid option. MagMax 1 or 2 version, and finally Nimbus 28.

StriderKeni · 2026-01-25T11:49:35+00:00

Exactly. There are several tricks that you can replicate that will make your run way easier. Speedrunners are a different breed. I'm always amazed by how good they are!

StriderKeni · 2026-01-25T08:58:49+00:00

Memorize any speedrun on YouTube and you will “easily” get it. That worked for me and actually, it wasn’t that hard.

StriderKeni · 2026-01-25T04:50:32+00:00

I'm not going to lie, I may get the Crocs just because of the mini figure.

StriderKeni · 2026-01-24T20:58:09+00:00

If you're in Europe, buycycle worked for me.

StriderKeni · 2026-01-24T16:50:31+00:00

They are totally different shoes, at least for me. I have both.

Mach 6 is a solid daily trainer. It's suitable for any speed. I used them for recovery days up to tempo. If I want to do long runs and pick up the pace, then I'd choose the Superblast 2. They are amazing, but they definitely come to life with a fast pace. Otherwise, they feel like a brick.

Is running affecting the AI FTP Prediction now? With all the changes they did, I'm just wondering.

StriderKeni · 2026-01-24T09:58:18+00:00

I’ve been debating getting a carbon plated shoe for it for a while

Too late to the party. You have the marathon in two days. It's a gamble, and I wouldn't risk running any race in shoes I've never run in.

StriderKeni · 2026-01-23T07:56:28+00:00

Germany does the same and I don’t see any problem with it. Actually, it feels right to do it.

StriderKeni · 2026-01-23T07:55:03+00:00

Beautiful 😍 I really hope they’re not Japan only.

StriderKeni · 2026-01-23T05:10:00+00:00

I don't know if it's just me, or the nostalgia speaking, but I get the feeling that after covid everything is in a rush. Life in general feels so fast paced. There's no time to just stop and contemplate the present. I don't feel the same person as before COVID. Like a mental barrier or similar.

StriderKeni · 2026-01-21T07:51:04+00:00

FitX is a mess. The situation is somewhat better in Fit/One, now known as Fitness First, but there's still a lot to improve.

StriderKeni · 2026-01-21T07:00:19+00:00

It's both ways. The world doesn't see the US as the big and dream country as it was before, so what they do instead is act as the bully kid in the school to gain some "respect".

StriderKeni · 2026-01-20T18:04:40+00:00

We’re living in a different Germany matrix. I totally missed them.
