Experiencia de expatriado
The food, wine, lifestyle, beaches, mountains, activities - everything!
The separatist movement and anti-tourism wave makes me uncomfortable... Sometimes you feel awkward as a foreigner, but most people are really nice!
I lived in Manhattan and loved it! Greatest city on earth. Worked for the Swedish Foreign Ministry, was on the Board of SWEA New York, and studied at NYU. Had a blast!
Everything was spectacular!! Fun stores, hip bars, music, arts and cool restaurants.
Nothing!!
I went to lots of concerts, traveled, ate great food and enjoyed the rise of South Beach in its heyday
Still involved in the music business with concert tickets, backstage passes and the nightlife was spectacular!! Also loved the rise of SoBe with funky atores, hip bars, music, arts and cool restaurants.
The poverty, huge social and economic gaps, violence... Also Miami's latin scene was very segregated, the latin communities didn't socialize or respect eath other...
I worked, went to lots of concerts, traveled, ate great food and some fabulous tequila reposado with sangrita!
Another epic era, got to know lots of cool Mexican bands, free concert tickets, backstage passes and the nightlife was spectacular!! Also loved the traditional food, music, arts and crafts, such fantastic folklore!!
The poverty, huge social and economic gaps, violence and corruption... It is such a great country with so many problems, it is very sad.
I worked, went to concerts and went out pretty much every night
Another epic era, lots of cool bands performed, free concert tickets, backstage passes and the nightlife was spectacular!!
Nothing! Had the time of my life!!
I worked at a real estate developer in the town, and translated/interpreted at the Notary Public and local police.
It was a small town (fishing village) of 19000 inhabitants that exploded in summer, to 500,000. That era was epic, lots of fun people from Madrid invaded the town in summer and the nightlife was spectacular!!
Nothing - except for the drunken tourists whom I avoided
I went to high school, a private boarding school SHL / SSHL and then lived and worked in the town.
Sweden is a beautiful country, wirg scenic beauty and lovely architecture. Sigtuna is in my opinion one of the prettiest towns, with lots of ruins, a picturesque wooden town centre and great location on a lake.
I went to primary school and high school (grade 7-10)
An amazing country, very special people and beautiful landscapes and beaches. Tough history, proud people and an amazing country!
At the time, being a foreigner at a public highschool was rough - they had derogatory nicknames for all nationalities. But as they had a soft spot for Abba, I lucked out! :)
I went to school
People are super-friendly! All the neighbours came to introduce themselves and brought food the first week we moved in!
Nothing! I even loved the climate - snowy winters and hot summers!
I went to school, Kindergarten and 1st grade
An amazingly beautiful city - the downtown is breathtaking.
Don't think there is anything!
