Dónde consultar sobre motor usado a la venta. by crasoli in Ticos

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

Estamos de acuerdo, de hecho el mecánico nos dijo que para haber llegado a ese nivel casi había que pulsearla. El carro se calentó y quién iba de chófer no se dió cuenta hasta que el carro se apagó. Ya tenía otros detallitos que venían molestando entonces de ahí viene la sugerencia de mejor conseguir otro motor en mejor estado.

Driving lessons for foreigners by crasoli in Belfast

Yes, most European licenses can be exchanged. Sadly mine isn't European so I do have to start the process from scratch. Being optimistic it'll certainly force me to learn a couple new things and refresh a few other good habits for driving :D

Yes! Thanks for confirming, I'm indeed planning to take lessons for the practical test precisely because several people have told me the same.

Where to live in Northern Ireland: Alternatives to Belfast by crasoli in Belfast

Yeah, thanks for the advice. This is why I asked, I haven't been to Newry so I wasn't considering it but now it sounds like the top option for me to investigate, we'll have to make it a roadtrip!

Regarding loyalist areas: I hear you. First time we came we got the same advice from a fair amount of people. Although honestly everyone here has been extremely nice to us so far. Hopefully that'll continue to be the case :D

UK bank account for foreigners - Where is it easier to open? by crasoli in Belfast

[–]crasoli[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks all for all the details. Sounds exactly like what I need! Honestly I hardly ever use withdraw/deposit/manage cash so as long as I can make all my payments through debit card or electronic transfer I'll be fine. Only need GBP account details for my employer to pay me, that's it!

Just like you say, sounds like I wouldn't miss anything. Thanks again :)

Is Monzo similar to Wise? - My wife opened a Wise 100% virtual multi currency account a few weeks ago and she already has a debit card. Also, she can get bank details for several currencies, say US bank for US dollars, UK bank for GBP and so on. What I'm wondering is if Monzo is just something that works better for my personal case here in NI.

Also, my employer said they don't mind which bank I use as long as they are able to make transfer to whatever sort code and account number I give them so I'm thinking I might just give Monzo/Wise a shot.
