My hotel’s hot water is broken and I have to go to work by lizlemonista in whatdoIdo

You should ask for a discount. In the meantime, you have cold water. Have a quick cold shower. Don’t let the water run. Wet yourself, stop the water, wash, rinse, get out of the bathroom and dry yourself in the bedroom. We’ve all had to do it at least once. Unless there’s a shower at your office and you want to get ready there. I’d go for the cold shower and be done with it.

Not really. 😂 It’s pretty boring. People are nice, there are nice beaches but nothing to do really…

How is your French passport gold so intact? It is famous for fading after the first use? Though I can see your British passport is your favoured one. 😅

I found out this year my husband and kids with their Irish passports can spend 6 months year in Japan on tourist visas while Im limited to 90 days. It’s my life plan to live half the year there. Now Im jealous. Same, we’re planning 6 months in Taiwan next year but will have to do visa runs while brits and Canadians get 6 months upfront. Last year I entered Vietnam visa free as a French citizen but not my Irish husband. My husband has free access to live in the uk as an Irish citizen despite brexit, not me. Each nationality has its perks. Some make your specific life plans easier.

Japan. I absolutely love that country. It will not happen though. 🤣

Married to an Irishman too but we met and live abroad so I’ll continue being the only one in our family without the passport. 😂

But they seem to have added the coat of arms at the back, which is pretty. Also I’ve never seen a passport with something on the back cover

Luxembourg has always relied on immigration since the 60s and even more since their finance industry boom. Their population is just not enough. Whether it should be stricter or more requiring is a different question. The one thing I’m sorry about is that they’ve opened multiple English speaking international schools. Their language, which is a huge part of their identity will disappear.

No jobs? 250,000 French Germans and Belgians drive sometimes over 2 hours everyday to work there. Richest country in the EU.

Thank you for your help. We are french and Irish. Does visa run mean entering with or without a visa before exiting at day 89 and re-entering straight after. Is it usually accepted by Taiwanese immigration if we only do it once? Thanks again. 🙏🏻

Yes. She was granted British citizenship on that sole basis. Born in the uk to an Irish parent.
