Having lived in #japan and then returned to #usa I have a feeling of not being settled in the states now. This is a common issue with #expats. There are very specific things that frustrate me about Japan that are mostly related to ease of living due to language barriers. My home country is a totally different animal. That all being said it's time to go back to #japan. Likely this time will be it.

I’m from America but live in the #Philippines with my wife. She is a local. I’m about to open a bank account here but am not sure which bank is good for foreigners. I’m leaning towards BDO. All my income will be transferred from a back in the states. Also, what’s the best way to transfer, Western Union?

It's amazing how often, here, I'll see someone post "only in Japan they do X" or "X only happens in #Japan" and, I"ll point out that, yes, X exists/happens in other Asian countries.

I often feel like a lot of #expats aren't even aware that Japan is in #Asia.

A recent survey has shown Japanese people who reside outside the country's major cities do not regularly interact with the foreign nationals who live in their communities, underscoring the need for Japan to work harder on integrating society. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/02/10/japan/society/foreign-workers-limited-exchanges/ #japan #society #immigration #expats #foreignworkers

Expats in Deutschland sind laut einer Umfrage unglücklich und einsam

Expats, die in Deutschland leben und arbeiten wollen, sollten sich das gut überlegen. Bürokratie, wenig aufgeschlossene Menschen und die mangelhafte Digitalisierung machen den Neustart schwer.

Immerhin: In ein paar Ländern ist es noch schlimmer.

Amigos from abroad
Any personal/or in group activity can be done inside any private place (you pay for it, for your confort and safe)...

But in a public place anyone can walk, jump, shout, sleep or stay ..no matter what: Mexico is for the mexicans and we can do what ever we want bc is in our law and constitution and our land..we arent putting in risk or attacking someone else

This issue went in Durango México and they didn't respect the free public transit
