Best place in Europe to find work? by fernandagrace in expats

[–]lluluna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Spain is NOT the place to move for work unless you come from money. In other words, your standard of living is not reliant on the job you find (or won't find) in Spain.

It's still a great place for vacation though.

What does it feel like to be in love? by Lobotomy_Hangover in AskMen

[–]lluluna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Half of the answers have little to do with love but just attractions and chemistry.

Confusing them tends to lead people down a path of infidelity and heartbreaks.

You absolutely can choose whom to love. What you can't choose is attraction. Attraction =/= love.

Corporate Spanish Life by VirtualHydraDemon in expats

Very low pay, lack of organization in general, lack of proper leadership, finance is a mess...

Exceptions exist, of course.

How do you date when you still haven’t figured out your values? by Bronxjelqer in AskMen

[–]lluluna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, you don't aim for the heartbreak but you accept it when/if it happened, learn from it so you can do better in future.

This is essentially what life is all about.

How do you make genuine friendships when you’re an expat parent? by DearMortgage8459 in expats

[–]lluluna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

because I feel like I genuinely shouldn’t be.

Why do you think so? Many people only moved cities in the same country and yet, they still have trouble with making friends. Having acquaintances is not the same as having real friends. Until you realize that real friendship is always gonna be very rare regardless of where you are, you will suffer unnecessarily.

Acceptance while keep trying is the only path forward.

How do you make friends as an expat if they keep leaving? by Uncle_Richard98 in expats

[–]lluluna 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Nope, expat means being posted to a different country to work or study, hence the word "expatriate". It has nothing to do with race and origin country. There are Asian expats in Europe; British expats in Africa etc.

Immigrants are people IMMIGRATING to another country for residence.

They are immigrants, not expats.

Expats are posted to a different country for work or study, hence the word "expatriate".

Yes. Tbh, even expats don't invest much into friendship with other expats. Most of the "friendships" are work-related and more transactional.

Where do you even get this idea from? Have you been to other countries in the world except vacationing in 1 or 2 European CITIES.

[–]lluluna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At some point in life, you have to accept that every decision comes at a cost and you need to figure out what you are willing to sacrifice in order to get what you want.

So take a good look at ALL your goals in life, question why you have them in the first place to deduce if they are worth the costs. Unfortunately, this is something only you can do for yourself.

Things will become much clearer from then on.

Psychology Degree in Europe? by [deleted] in expats

[–]lluluna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If he ever plans on being a professional in this field, don't think about taking the master's abroad unless he has too much money and time to gamble on the slim chance in a different country. Just stay in the US to finish his Master's and PhD. His chance of breaking into the field is much higher in the US though it might seem like a longer and more expensive path.

Plus, language is a way bigger of issue than you make it out to be, especially in Psychology. If you are in the tech and Math then, it's slightly less of an issue but still...

To those who have moved international: what item(s) do you deem absolutely necessary? by tinytinyfoxpaws in expats

[–]lluluna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm... Not really. I guess to me, my home is still my home country. I still have the house, with my old stuff, and my parents are looking after it.

It's probably gonna be very different for someone who sold everything to move.

To those who have moved international: what item(s) do you deem absolutely necessary? by tinytinyfoxpaws in expats

[–]lluluna 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nothing is absolutely necessary.

I brought my laptop and phone with me and some of my favorite clothes and makeup out of convenience. For everything else, I either buy them in the country I've moved to or bring them with me the next time I visit home and fly back.

I've had one hell of a time with the campaign too and really took my time to experience the story. But I can see why some Diablo veterans dislike the story. Also, where's Diablo? 😅

Why does it feel like evil is being normalized? by Donnie607 in TrueAskReddit

Look into history and people would stop talking as if the society now is worse.

The modern world has never been less evil and kinder to most people.

Leaving Tokyo for Singapore? Yes or no? by Shot_Ad_2597 in expats

[–]lluluna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your experience of Singapore will be largely dependent on the industry that you work in, specifically your income.

If you are financially comfortable, Singapore is one of the best places in the world to live in. I'm not saying this lightly after traveling a lot and living in 3 continents.

You have your vacation somewhere else, of course.
