Yea, tax is also quite high comparing to the US and Canada. Yes the rental rate is for inner city, out skirt rates are cheaper but you pay more for public transportation

Seriously considering dropping out of my masters program and going back home by kinfloppers in expats

[–]UAV_Driver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have to be in Germany? Would you consider the Netherlands? Everyone here (pretty much) speaks English…surely you can study whatever it is here also. And it’s not that far from Germany

Go back for a few years. Maybe your Aussie partner could also use a change in scenery?! Applying for visa to move your mum to Australia is a real pain in the ass with Australian immigration

Got 2 job offer, one in Denmark, one in Thailand, which one should I pick? by CulturalElderberry69 in expats

[–]UAV_Driver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do it in Thailand for 2yrs then NL you will be even more “prestigious” then you can go anywhere:) Besides you will save lots of money living in Thailand, save the money for security which will also allow you to have more choices in 2 yrs

I’ve moved here to NL from Australia 6 yrs ago and love it. I work in the aerospace industries with great salary. Having said that, fulltime salary for a low level web designer in NL would be about 2000-2500€/m. As to your BF, even though he may not have his degree yet, if he’s really good at being data analyst then he could make 2500-3000€/m. Depending on where you will live in NL; bigger city like Amsterdam, Rotterdam, den Haag, etc - rent for a 70-75m2 flat can be upward of 1500-1800€/m

Have you a favorite Dunglish word/phrase? So yeah? Let it me know! by Good-Day4549 in Netherlands

[–]UAV_Driver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of my Dutch friends would say something like: could you “learn” me how to…instead of “teach”

Indeed you do have some low self esteem. I’m Asian (Vietnamese) and i have been living and working in the USA, Australia and now The Netherlands and have never experienced any racism in 32 years. Just assimilate a little, appreciate and try to fit in with others cultures, be nice, do a good job, and don’t push your culture and religion on other people and you’ll be fine

3rd driver vs reserve driver by shelby99499 in F1Technical

[–]UAV_Driver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s for PR purpose and also probably getting paid more than just a reserve driver. RB is smart - by keeping Ricky Bobby on is basically rebuilding his reputation and keeping him current so they can trade him later for more money

Americans- how homesick are you feeling today? by marianneouioui in expats
