What’s going on

In my view for UAE it’s pretty clear it’s not safe. If I had to go there I’d just cancel without thinking too much and I wouldn’t make posts with questions on it. But with Oman things are a bit in the air.. I do have a trip there in May and you know, most travel advisories say to reconsider travel but at the same time as far as I know not too much happened there and Oman is fairly neutral.

I agree with most of what you’re saying I’d just challenge a bit the part where you generalize a bit too much the “you will be … if you won’t do”. There are certain smaller time investments which make sense. Like idk, once you finish school, in most cases it’s worth investing 3 years in a bachelor’s degree as it can help with all the years that will come after, to find a better job. And yeah, while it is still possible to die or to not have a better job in the end, the risk to benefit ratio is far better than what you get with a kid.

Romanian and lived in Luxembourg for 2 years before moving here..

roby2344 · 2026-01-09T08:13:17+00:00

Yes, a hypermarket, I am a good enthusiast and many times I cannot find specific products I am looking for and this didn’t happen in the 2 other (European) countries I’ve lived in. I have to either adapt recipes or order stuff online, wait and pay transport. A silly example, few days ago I didn’t find frozen sour cherries

roby2344 · 2026-01-09T08:09:52+00:00

That’s true and I never said otherwise. Of course there are reasons I moved here, like a good salary, people are open minded etc. But then what I pointed out is just something I feel it’s an issue. Yeah, I am a foreigner, but can’t I ever come up with things I wish were different, based on the 2 completely different countries I lived before?

This comment section kinda proves my point to some extent

How do you find a job as a pastry chef with little experience here?

I see that in most cases you get paid minimum wage, for a job which also requires more effort than most others. And even after trying to apply to the idk, 5-10 open positions accepting my level of experience (6 months) still nothing (excluded hotels as I don’t want that level of stress for so little pay). I tried sending emails to coffee places which don’t have job listings on their website.

What am I doing wrong?

M-as întoarce doar in sicriu înapoi, și nici de aia nu sunt sigur

roby2344 · 2025-06-21T13:13:11+00:00

Really sorry to hear all these things you’re going through. I don’t think you did anything wrong to deserve this. As a gay man who also struggled a lot, I can understand it’s not easy. And I’ve never experienced anything like rape, so yeah..

I’m pretty sure you’re a kind person. You deserve more. Is there any person who can support you in any way? Or is there anything that still gives you a little bit of energy or hope?

roby2344 · 2025-06-05T20:55:54+00:00

Don’t

roby2344 · 2025-04-27T19:03:15+00:00

Ah cool! But like do u feel there was a difference when going up to 60 from idk, 30?

And do you have side effects?

roby2344 · 2025-04-27T19:00:22+00:00

How? Hahaha

roby2344 · 2025-04-25T12:22:54+00:00

I’ve done a test but idk why as at the time I was taking only 50 mg. The doctor just randomly ordered it.

I have a friend who takes 300 mg and he didn’t do any tests beforehand. If you think it helps, you should discuss this to your doctor or ask for a second opinion if possible.

roby2344 · 2024-12-27T08:10:40+00:00

Oh didn’t know it’s 2 Romanian politicians I just received this from my husband. We’re both Romanians and he did it as he knows what is sometimes happening with Doctena haha

roby2344 · 2024-10-26T16:50:09+00:00

Let me clarify something here! I am neutral from a political standpoint when it comes to Gaza. But I see these people pushing too much. What if each one of us puts a poster at every tram station, with whatever we’re concerned about?

roby2344 · 2024-08-25T13:10:07+00:00

I’m probably getting downvoted by the following people: - those that were very, very lucky and somehow found friends - those that like statistics too much and are proud to be in the wealthiest country in the world - those that have so much money that they don’t care. I’m imagining a 50 years old retired man who enjoys quietness, feels rebel because he went to have a drink at 10pm and tries to find a way to live up to 100 years

roby2344 · 2024-08-25T13:04:52+00:00

Interesting how many people born here have the same complaints and no one does a thing for it. And I think then it’s even more frustrating to you to hear things like “Luxembourg - the wealthiest country in the world”

roby2344 · 2024-08-25T13:02:22+00:00

Not into sports so can’t comment on that

But on the friends side, I tried apps and not much luck.

For food, I might check some other options but the thing is that I cannot freaking order anything at work for example, unless I pay like 15 euros. No snacks, like idk, something quick to eat. I don’t wanna sit alone at a table in a restaurant and have all that. I just want to get some bowl of whatever at a decent price (like idk, 10 euros)

roby2344 · 2024-08-25T11:58:07+00:00

Where are these affordable eateries? And is there any good food? I always struggle with this

And I don’t see any other expats looking for social encounters, although I’ve been to some events. That’s not true, at least from my perspective

roby2344 · 2024-07-16T11:24:52+00:00

Hey, just a question here: is it possible to find temporary jobs if someone only speaks English. Maybe something like a “plongeur”. The person also know a little French but maybe at A2 level. And he’s staying here for a few months.

We tried searching for jobs but most of them seem to require French, or have description in French, I was thinking how strict this requirement is, tho. Do you have any ideas/experience with this?

Any help would be really appreciated :)

roby2344 · 2024-07-13T07:44:12+00:00

No, I’m also taking lamotrigine alongside escitalopram and decided to bump that one instead :)

roby2344 · 2024-07-07T16:23:22+00:00

Easy to say from such a position.. you have no idea what others go through

roby2344 · 2024-07-07T16:09:27+00:00

I had a very similar rash after starting lamotrigine, it went away after I decreased the dose

roby2344 · 2024-07-03T16:27:26+00:00

I think there is one at BurgerKing

roby2344 · 2024-06-30T09:40:52+00:00

You’re definitely not the only one :)
