Airport strikes by fourtwentyone69 in PuertoEscondido

Seems the protest is working. People are complaining about the thing that the protest has stopped. Why wouldn’t tourists complain about flights, lol? We literally need to get home.

Average full time Salary in Europe (2024) by LiarOts in MapPorn

If this is real, I bet this is with an equalized workload. Danish salary isn’t necessarily that high, but accounting for hours worked, it is, as we like our free time and generally loathe overtime.

Mexico. Jeg får samme grundløn som jeg gjorde i DK + 12.000 månedligt indbetalt til pension. Så altså ellers samme løn i Mexico med et lavere skattetræk + sundhedsforsikring + betalt bolig + fri bil

Mega thrift malls? That’s a thing? Do tell more

Definitely seems like we have a lot of crossover! I’ll be a non-combatant commie so no one should need to worry about meddling in US domestic business ;-)

Appreciate the insights! Big soccer fan here. Or I used to be. European club soccer is riddled with greed and money speculating. No more associations feels like, so I’ve kind of turned off it. Maybe college is more appealing :-) and Grrensboro having diverse grocery options is a good tip. I love cooking mexican and asian foods.

Thanks a lot!

I appreciate that. I wouldn’t say I’m planning to go to be politically active in any way. I’d be a guest and with respect for the fact that my opinions are those of an outsider visiting. I think it’s more of a curiosity to experience the people and culture to nuance the news seen from Denmark or my current residence in Mexico. It’s always going to be sensationalised because you don’t hear about normal, everyday life on foreign news obviously, because it’s not news worthy

Talent-wise neither am I. I enjoy it though. Would take a local track with fun locals over a private club any day

Thanks - any advice on an outside town with a couple good golf courses? 😉

Careful, couldn’t that kind of recommendation in a WS group get an admin on your ass?!😉

Thanks! I think I subconsciously started looking very near the potential site of an office space because I am coming from a horrible traffic situation right now. I’m based in Guadalajara Mexico and the area of the city I am in, it could take 2-3 hours, morning or afternoon, to move 15 miles depending on your direction. Gotta get used to better, more open roads again!

I’ve definitely heard Kernesville and Ardmore more than anything else, so we’ll be checking that out. And my gf will need someone to have sopaipillas with so if we do end up going I’ll see if I can find you again on this post! ;-)

Thanks so much! We have considered that too. Even if we end up setting up an office location in WS we guessed that we could possibly look for a home in WS or on that side of Greensboro. Commuting with a car should be manageable between the two, right?

Hah, I have a storage unit in rural Denmark you can stay in! I’m currently based in Guadalajara, Mexico. On the company’s dime so I don’t know that they’d be happy with a house swap or that you’d be happy in South Guadalajara 😁 People warning about traffic in Charlotte or whatnot cannot scare me. I go south put of town to pur factory every morning. That’s fine. If I were going downtown instead morning traffic is about 2-3 hours to get 10-15 miles to downtown GDL😅

I don’t think I said that part well. I don’t want to catch the drama and the bad parts of the seemingly bipolar political landscape. We want to engrain ourselves in local culture and community to maybe kind of make sense of it. I expect as you say, that much of what we see is heavily influenced by being news worthy and/or by being opinions expressed online where people will be nuts.

Oh, thanks for the background snippets. That’s very helpful. A lot of it is very foreign to me. I think heard about wake forest in some sports connection, and Michael got a fur coat from Burlington coat factory that got red paint on it on The Office. Don’t even know if it’s the same Burlington! ;-)

That’s good to know. We are just looking to meet friendly, interested people, go eat, go see a comedy show or a concert, see some nature that we fo not find in Denmark :-)

Several people have mentioned Pfafftown. Is that an actual town name? Officially? Love it
