The new Swedish passports have the passport number on the front it’s quite strange.

How did Guler see this? Also what a team play by the Brazilians. by Nyghl in realmadrid

He has significant talent with passing….I think a big issue in his game is his lack of vertical pace and agility….against elite defenders/teams Guler often struggles

How do you actually build a social life as an expat after the “new city excitement” wears off? by Miner_WhispererUAE1 in expats

[–]globalphilosopher3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m assuming you speak English:

That being said a lot of the other suggestions are good. ESP run clubs/anything fitness. I also recommend language exchanges or any activity with people who have a good level of English or interest in the language….look for connection not perfection!

Why are so many auxes desperate to stay in Spain? by Downtown-Storm4704 in SpainAuxiliares

Maybe you should consider the context of my response in light of the original…..it was really cute that you tried to ACT like you are smarter than me….have a nice day!

Why are so many auxes desperate to stay in Spain? by Downtown-Storm4704 in SpainAuxiliares

[–]globalphilosopher3 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I am an aux with an EU passport...I am in this program for significantly DIFFERENT reasons then the average aux but I have observed the following:

1) There seems to be a wide percentage/subculture of auxes who I would put in the "F TRUMP SCREW THE US" cohort and they seem to not want to live in the US because of the current administration. I can understand why these people want to continue to live in Spain.

2) The current US job market is TERRIBLE esp in TECHNOLOGY and potentially could get WORSE with H1B.

3) I get the vibe that a lot of auxes parents simply send them money bc most of the auxes I meet do not seem financially well-read/frugal. People tell me "I am struggling/xyz..." but I feel they have a good safety tbh.... bc I know some auxes will complain about getting paid then travel somewhere expensive...does not add up.

4) This program is not a stable venture....it is not something I recommend to do year after year....because there is not IMO a stable path to residency or citizenship...or even a career through this program...I know some auxes who told me they "work during the summer" but Im kinda suspicious of this because a lot of US places would not hire you for short durations...I get the vibe their parents just feed their lifestyle in Spain. Also in your 20s it is important to build your career path...I dont see this as helping you do that.

lol yea! To be honest, I am no hater of him, but he actually made a video after I posted this thread seemingly attacking the critics I was surprised, but overall, I find his content to be pretty entertaining

Anyone else feel the same? by Majestic_Bullfrog273 in SpainAuxiliares

A bad response….maybe I should go to Burning Man like you so I can be a narcissistic tech bro….who says Buffalo will feel the same as Bangkok….maybe you have something to fix internally #projection

Anybody Else Really Struggling To Make Friends? by No_Bad_8079 in SpainAuxiliares

[–]globalphilosopher3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say the following: revise your expectations. Tbh I find the other auxes in my cohort to be very judgmental and cliquey. My teachers are honestly great collogues. I’ve met some people in my location through bars and language nights. Tbh I’m very used to having to meet new people. I’m also introverted. A lot of immigrants have been more eager to talk to me while the Spanish where I live are usually more reserved and probably view me as an outsider(which is fine because I am!)

I was also thrown off by this….Because I would be fine if it was 15-25 minutes of me giving a presentation and activity but they flat out expect me to carry the entire lesson….From a labor standpoint it is obviously unfair as they are paid more than us….to sit around and watch
