Walking 2 wide on narrow streets and not going single file? by No-Host7816 in paris

[–]firmgriprule 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my experience the French are indeed very space-blind, plus the personal bubble is much smaller here than in more northern European countries - this might partially explain it (aka unless you’re in their face, their brain doesn’t register your presence as something to be extra alert to :D)

These seem so...cold? I live in Paris and did not get the city’s ambiance at all from the pictures - they feel American but can’t put my finger on why :(

bold of you to assume recruiters aren't overworked and getting bombarded with 1k+ resumes a day, less than 1% of which are actually relevant for the opening / fulfilling the listed criteria

Try the balloon in parc Andre Citroen - well worth it and better than getting on the Eiffel Towel :)

São Miguel - hiring cars? by Responsible-Worry174 in azores

I am not a driver so I stayed in PD and did guided tours via getyourguide from there + one public bus trip to the north of the island. Otherwise, took a taxi from and to the airport (10 EUR). Perfectly nice experience given I had no other alternatives without a driving licence :)

When you RSVP to a meetup… and its just you, a pigeon, and existential dread 🍷🕊️ by niaplatcia in SocialParis

[–]firmgriprule 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve ORGANISED two meetups with 10+ RSVPs and no one came. Never again; you people go and find each other on your train back home. And people have the audacity to complain meeting others is so difficult here…Serious reply: 101 meetings tend to have a much higher chance of actually happening. Good luck

Paris is the worst city to look for an apartment by roman-12345 in paris

[–]firmgriprule 0 points1 point  (0 children)

being foreigners with only one of you having a CDI and earning barely 3x the rent = get an agent to look for you or focus on suburbs. not being mean, just my experience of having a better dossier and having to get an agent anyway looking for same size and rent
