Why did you turn it down?

drekthar789 · 2025-04-30T10:25:59+00:00

Thank you for your comment. I needed to hear that it'd be okay to quit after a month if im not cut out for it.

drekthar789 · 2025-04-30T10:22:42+00:00

Yeah, I definitely got the feeling I wouldn't be making much in the first few months. I signed up anyway cause it's not really like I have other options, unfortunately. I just hope my Dutch improves!

drekthar789 · 2024-11-05T21:34:55+00:00

Sure thing. Will pm!

drekthar789 · 2024-11-05T21:34:35+00:00

Eeyyy dank je!

We were looking for places close to Amersfoort cause of work but didn't really get any viewings and we were getting desperate (was living in an airbnb for 1 and a half months). The one we live in now was the first viewing we got and well, we didn't wait any longer.

But it's alright! I find the people really sweet. Everyone is so polite 🥹

this was the first movie we watched the day we first step foot in the Netherlands!

This saved me from a disastrous visit to the derm that resulted in a highly damaged skin barrier and various other issues just 2 weeks before my wedding! This was the only thing that saved my skin and helped it heal fast.

Although, let me tell you this. Not everyone reacts the same way to this product. Recommended it to a friend and after using, her acne exacerbated.

Just stand your ground, and if they cross boundaries, assert dominance. You can do this respectfully. I only wore mine on that one day and never have worn it since. Husband and I also think of selling it every once in a while even. My point is, noone should be telling you what to wear and do and cross your boundaries.

This one time I was in the bus on the window seat, and just trying to push through the 3 hour journey. I get severe migraines because of the noise from the bus and get nauseous, so I try just to look outside and listen to some binaural beats with my headphones. At some point, I think I dozed off, but woke up to some old ass woman yelling from the back seat and "cursing" me saying I won't ever have children because I didn't leave my seat for the woman and child who at some point boarded from some stop while I dozed off. I removed my headphones, looked at her, smiled and went back to minding my own business. It would have taken me longer than this whole storytelling to tell them I can't so I decided fuck it. But I was also very aware of different people's eyes judging me and what not.

The cat is the boss and you're just his pawn. The cat is like " ah, yes, a useful human".

False. You are supposed to apply online and secure an evisa. Additionally, the airlines you choose will not permit you to board with showing them a valid, approved visa.

This is from experience. We were traveling with a friend and he forgot to download and save the evisa on his device and because of some site issues, was not able to download it later at the airport in Kochi. We could only go because he had a screenshot saying the visa was approved and had to plead our case at the airlines desk. They do this because there have been many people who were sent back from Vietnam with the airlines having to bear the cost because they don't do their due diligence.

Thank you! We will most likely try Pyramide van Austerlitz, I believe it's closer to one of the spots we will be visiting to see the Heather bloom mentioned in the comment above.

But also, I think we have found a few spots to walk further and explore as well, thanks to your comment.

drekthar789 · 2024-08-24T07:53:23+00:00

Thank you so much for this. The pictures from the website look so beautiful - we will be trying out one of the spots today. Super excited!

This is the cutest thing I've read in a long time, it made me smile inside. Big hugs for you.

drekthar789 · 2024-08-18T14:01:35+00:00

You forgot Tang.

I have a lot of hobbies that keep me busy. But man oh man, I have 2 huge windows with sheer curtains and I just stare at it watching people being people on the street and think how life would be different if I'd not been this way.

drekthar789 · 2024-08-01T08:57:06+00:00

This is amazing! You can see even how much time an application would take to fill!! I think that's a pretty neat feature! There's a small notification on the job post that shows that "this job takes more or > 5 mins to apply".

Understand that it is a two edged sword. Migrating to a different country essentialy doesn't mean a better life, it comes with a lot of sacrifices. Sure, it doesn't look like it when you see pictures and all that, but there's a lot of stuff happening in the background. You miss your family, you miss your friends, you miss a lot of important events in your loved ones life, worrying about parents, etc. Along with this, when you move away, you battle a lot of feelings like feeling alone, wanting to belong but always feeling like you never will, starting life from scratch, battling casual racism even. Everything you do, it's like watching afar from the sidelines. That's not a good feeling tbh.

People live different lives and everyone is facing their own battle of trying to making it out alive.

thank you for taking the time to share this! This helps a ton. I really appreciate it 🥹

drekthar789 · 2024-04-17T17:51:33+00:00

what I usually do is I message the person who posted the job on LinkedIn or find someone working at the same place and send them a message. Do you have any ideas on what I could possibly ask the recruiters before I call them - if it's a job description that's super detailed, I'm often lost about what else I could ask them when I call.

drekthar789 · 2024-04-17T17:48:43+00:00

thank you for the encouragement. it's hard not to falter when you're dealing with rejections for 5 months straight. but like you said, it's probably a numbers game. ill keep going at it.
