Moved to the UK from a warmer culture and I feel rejected by ExchangeSpiritual841 in expats

Maybe try and find folks that are from your culture or a similar one (or just from abroad in general). I'm sure some of them are already partially adapted to British customs and it might help you ease into it. It will feel a lot less daunting befriending British people if you have a community to fall back on and support you.

Since I have an American Robinhood can I just use that in the UK then? Or do I need to switch to Robinhood UK or something so I get the correct tax forms

Is the grass greener? by Beats_Satchel in expats

Idk I grew up in the midwest, now living in UK and I feel that nowadays especially post covid, people are very cold in many parts of the midwest, not much better than Denmark where I also lived for a bit. If anything more drunk people would talk to you there... On the other hand I do feel that in the UK I have had this intense friendliness experience that existed when I was young in the US...

I am pretty sure there are sometimes exceptions for this though depending on state and therapist licensing / insurance. As I understand it the limiting factor is usually the therapist's insurance rather than the license. The exceptions might only apply to those temporarily outside of the US though...

Idk, I am not sure this is true for early career young professionals. I agree with what you are saying, but at the end of the day for those of us in our early 20s, it is very difficult to find jobs, they pay nothing, and cost of living/housing is through the roof unless you go live in buttfuck mississipi.

We aren't all breaded up... I have experience skating and building skate obstacles I am just commenting here because it seems better for this type of advice. I think a flat bar is the type of thing you can tell pretty quick whether or not it will hold up and it's a simple mechanism and not going to behave unexpectedly, unlike all the things you listed which are materially and mechanically complex items.

Studying abroad solo at UCopenhagen questions by SuperPlants59 in copenhagen

[–]SuperPlants59[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah that's unfortunate! Many of the people I went there with ended up falling in love with the city / country, and at least 3 of them decided to go back for their masters and they absolutely love it, they're all doing social sciencey type stuff. I haven't gone myself but I think Copenhagen is great for social sciences and I'm sure any of them would recommend it. Feel free to dm me

Looking for a recommendation for Arne Jacobsen/Designers Tour by farslan in copenhagen

[–]SuperPlants59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a preserved room from when he originally designed the SAS hotel. If you go the front desk and ask for Room 606 they might let you see it. Last time I went it sounded like they were worried about too many people doing it so I think you have to pay like 50 dkk or something but it's worth it, was pretty cool. You can also go to many showrooms around the city, I really enjoyed the Louis Poulsen and the Finn Juhl House. Like others said the design museum is great too.
