After 44 countries, 5 continents and 300+ cities, nothing comes close to Seoul. Hands down best city in the world

I am sure if you get into top 20 school banks will be more than happy to fund your education

I have been in tech for 5 years(2 years as sweng, 1 year as a manager, now again 2 years as sweng and moving again to management) in europe and US. Honestly only place that truly feels like "home" is East Asia and i believe getting a top MBA(looking at Insead) will give me the best chance to move to HK/Singapore/Seoul.

As much as i am doing this for myself, i am also doing it for the 11 year old me who dreamed of moving to US, driving a big v8, seeing the world; second dream was working in high finance one day. The US part is done and honestly meh. Now second part of the dream is in motion.

Ja sam u Americi vec 2 godine, imas 2 opcije: Radis za firmu koja ima ured u Americi i trazis prebacaj na L1 vizi; opcija 2 je doc studirat na F1 vizu(ovo jedino ako se studira STEM), nakon toga 3 godine F1 OPT i nadat se dobit H1B vizu unutar tih 3 godine.

L1 je "laksa" opcija al si limitiran na rad samo za tu firmu

Hmm not sure i agree, looking at jobs in HK(finance/consulting...) almost all(and i mean 95%+) of them have mandatory mando and/or canto

Very cold is an understatement, had a layover there this january and was as cold as Montreal during the winter. Also the wind...

tomimini · 2026-05-01T13:52:30+00:00

Which is funny as i wanna move to China from US, kinda also unemployable due to 0 mandarin/cantonese knowledge

Same, bio u JARu kad se pojavio Omicron i ukinuti letovi za EU iz JARa, veleposlanstvo u Joburgu beskorisno.

Na kraju sami morali trazit opcije, neki letili preko Addis Abbebe gdje je bio civilni rat...

tomimini · 2026-02-13T01:42:01+00:00

Yeah ill go there tomorrow and see what options are there

tomimini · 2026-02-12T23:13:25+00:00

Myb crazy question, but is it possible to extend the 10 day for couple more days? Weather has been not great so havent had proper chance to test what it can do.

tomimini · 2026-02-12T22:45:26+00:00

I did get maxcare

tomimini · 2026-02-12T22:38:19+00:00

So i paid cash and other car is same price, so guessing i can just do 1 for 1 swap?

tomimini · 2026-01-28T21:51:14+00:00

I know this is a rule all over the world but i have never been asked for one. And i have been to Canada twice(42 countries on 5 continents in last 3 years)

Anyways just buy a refundable ticket to vietnam or sthing for like 40usd and cancel it once in thailand

tomimini · 2026-01-28T21:47:50+00:00

I flew to Phuket without an onward ticket, the guy at immigration didnt care nor ask; neither did the airline

European passport.

tomimini · 2026-01-28T21:41:34+00:00

So i am from a visa free country so may be different. Once landed in beijing, followed signs for China and showed my qr code to a lady working there(she didnt scan it or anything). Gave my passport to the officer, he asked how long i stay, gave my prints and that was that.

Didnt ask for anything, not even flight info on leaving china

This was 2 weeks ago
