I cant think myself of going back to

Just out of curiousity how is it to live in your country?
Are u happy there and do u really want to stay the rest of your life there?
How are the people ? Do they hate on foreigners :D?
How easy is it to get a job ? ( especially in IT & electrical engineering stuff maybe )
How much money € do u need to live a "normal" life?
Pro, Contra - just share your point of view !

i didnt have a euro on my pockets when i arrived europ but evrything turn up for the good way you will see.
how old are you?

sorry bad english
Basically I'm encouraging you to go there :D really great people and it's perfect for travelling alot...u
and in some area's its scary at night speacly auckland .
I'm moving to London very soon. DO NOT WANT
why
Just out of curiousity how is it to live in your country? It's great but it has a lot of bad sides of it, there are certain areas in Prague, which are A MUST to avoid during a night, otherwise you can end up hurt really badly.
The overall life there is amazing as things are affordable, variety of shopping centres/places where you can have some fun, the transport is also amazing. Huge - of Prague are immigrants (ukraine,vietnam, gypsies are the true aids of Prague)...
Are u happy there and do u really want to stay the rest of your life there? Im happy there, but as I love traveling and different countries, I will for sure want to live somewhere else also, but can see myself living the last 30-40 years of my life there.
How are the people ? Do they hate on foreigners :D? Depends, there are places where people will respect you and help you if you need it, but there is also a lot of shit idiots (mostly in the centre) that are bored with their job / or there are pick-pocketers so u got to be careful :P
How easy is it to get a job ? ( especially in IT & electrical engineering stuff maybe ) There are always oppurtunities to get a job, depends on what would you like, it's not completely NO-chance to get a job...
How much money € do u need to live a "normal" life? Flat of One who earns money and two students -> €1000 monthly is simply enough, altho it's above the average "earning"...
1st: Mostly young people are respectful and can talk english fluently. Most of the people working in different shops are total douche bags towards foreign people. For example my sister had really trouble even getting decent internet. Mostly the rate of customer service depends on social class.
2nd: The average salary there is approximately 500-600e/month. Unless you want to be stuck there forever, go work somewhere else. The salary is just enough to live in Prague but you cant really afford to move anywhere else after that.
But yeah, the city is nice :)
"How are the people ? Do they hate on foreigners :D?"
There you got your answer
- I like it here, the country is clean and modern but has its problems is not perfect. best political system around
- people are mostly conservative and do not like change (country-side)
- completely different in the 'cities'
- on country-side they do hate on foreigners but not on those who try to integrate, in city: they dont care
- since the country wasn't hit that hard by the crisis, it is comparably easier to find a job, although i have no experience in your area
- you need a lot of money to live a normal life, but you get more than enough when you have a job.
Strongly depends on your income and the district you live in
Are u happy there and do u really want to stay the rest of your life there?
Of course
How are the people ? Do they hate on foreigners :D?
Depends on the area and your nationality, yes and no
How easy is it to get a job ? ( especially in IT & electrical engineering stuff maybe )
Depends on which specialization you have, but in general skilled personel doesn't have that bad chances
How much money € do u need to live a "normal" life?
excluding taxes 1500€ in low/medium districts, 2500€ in decent places
Why is it shit :D?
What you gonna do in the Netherlands and what kind of job you search? Maybe I can find something for you.
EDIT: I see IT btw, like reperations like computer hardware?
If u wanna have a good job its not the right place imo.
More like Networking, research stuff like that. Did already my years reparing PCs as a trainee :P
-I got a bacherlor's degree (which also accounts as a masters degree outside of Greece because it requires at least 5 years to complete, I doubt people actually put stock in that though) in forestry and environment from arguably the best greek university that offers no real value now thanks to the band-aid economy murdering my field. I've been searching for a job relative to what I studied for about a year, found nothing besides odd jobs via acquaintances at bars et cetera.
-Can make 400-500 a month if I'm lucky. Homelessness has become a real possible future for me.
-Got many acquaintances with varying levels of education on many different fields unable to find an acceptable job (except IT and accounting), besides what their close relatives or friends can offer them. Some used their parents' capital to start their own business venture, only to go bankrupt within a year. The most successful guy I know is a mathematician who offers private lessons to high school kids, and I doubt he makes more than 1500 a month.
-Because I can speak dutch/english almost perfectly and german fluidly I'm thinking of moving there using my degree and hopefully luck into something that will provide me with an acceptable future.
-Fuck this country, don't ever come here unless it's for vacation or you are absolutely sure you can get a steady job. It's cheap to live here now, but you definitely need financial stability.
after my study i will leave this country for sure there r 0 reason to stay here, where i will exactly go isnt sure yet but i got some options.. stockholm(there is a great company which is kinda known worldwide in this section i wanna work), australia, US or even japan
but i have one more year to think about that tho^^
nah my mainreason to move out is that I wanna improve my english in this section I want work later, so I have in like 10-15 years far better chances to find an even better job
and germany got no so many opportunities, there is maybe something in munich which would interest me but then I can also move out to another country^^
Are u happy there and do u really want to stay the rest of your life there? Yes & beside traveling i'll most likely stay here
How are the people ? Do they hate on foreigners :D? Friendly people most of the time, No
How easy is it to get a job ? ( especially in IT & electrical engineering stuff maybe ) Dont really know this field but I'd say its easy
How much money € do u need to live a "normal" life? at least 1000$ (CAD) which is roughly 600-700 euro but with a IT job you would have no problem
There might others but I come the French part so we use different website. I'll try give you more info a bit later today.
Wales can be really nice to live in, plenty of diversity
Are u happy there and do u really want to stay the rest of your life there?
I am happy when I'm there but I live in Germany now so... I'd be happy spending the rest of my life in either countries.
How are the people ? Do they hate on foreigners :D?
Majority of them are down to earth but troubled teens like everywhere. We've got plenty of foreigners here, huge Filipino community, Polish and various other Euro.
How easy is it to get a job ? ( especially in IT & electrical engineering stuff maybe )
Can get one in that field fairly easy in the cities, doubt it in the valleys but could do.
How much money € do u need to live a "normal" life?
500-600? Varies where you stay greatly.
I think it's really nice here, change of scenery and much quieter than my home town. Good for my profession and also for cycling : ))
You know how perfect is often boring? Well, Norway's probably the best country to live in, but that's quite boring. And cold.
(Easy to get a job. Great salary. Good healthcare and all of that. Basically the social-democratic dream more or less.)
However after I finish my education I'm planning to move to Poland if everything goes well. The only thing that probably could make me stay in Denmark is if I fail to find a decent job in Poland(which I heard from family and friends can be a problem).
In Denmark the system seems to be better because everything is carefully made and thought about. Also I doubt that the education is better in Denmark but I love the fact that they pay you to motivate you and it's not that strict as in Poland(that's what I've heard atleast. Foreigners are treated really well in both countries but I think it would be easier to communicate in Denmark since they are a bit better at speaking english.
In Poland I would say that the food is A LOT better than in Denmark. When you order something here in Denmark you get a small portion. Whenever I order in Poland I get a huge portion and it's usually delicious! Even a fastfood restaurant like KFC tastes different in Poland(maybe because there are only like 2 of them in Denmark....). I also really like the people in Poland. They seem open and friendly(the danes are also friendly but not as open imo). And the best thing is that polish women are amazing. Eventho danish girls are really pretty too, I feel like they don't come close to polish girls. In Poland you have many different types of women which is like going into a candy shop and don't know what to buy since everything looks amazing. That's why I've always been telling myself that I will marry a polish girl ;)
paid maybe 50-55eu can't remember for this
nice morgan, I like it :D
nice people (depends where you live)
weather sucks kinda
I think you would love
e: I always hear good things about
For the job department, it's relatively easy to land a job in your field in the biggest cities in Finland, if you have the degree (ranging from the bachelor equilevant to master's, people coming abroad may have to go to extra lengths to show the aptitude and capability ofr the job) and maybe some experience. The taxes are a bitch, which is the reason I've worked abroad whenever I've had the chance and created alternative streams of income. Finland is a great place to work in if you have a half-decent degree and you are not fucking greedy (like I am).
I'd call the life in Finland decent, but that being said, I still intend to move away from Finland to a spot where I can make more money working.
- Uhm about 50% + off all people suck just like pretty much anywhere else
- Depends on your level of eduction etc etc etc
- Yet again it depends on a variety of factors.
Your questions suck tbh :(
1. Officially rated one of the best places to live
- For me that really depends on where you live and what kind of life style you are after. For example, if you don't like racist bogans and toxic toads, snakes, man eating animals etc. don't live in Queensland (or any further north of Queensland). Beaches are quite nice around Brisbane though.
- If you like a laid back life style and don't go out much, Canberra is good, also lots of IT jobs available (cafes/restaurants are improving all the time). I have been living in Canberra for over 11 years now so I am a bit biased!
- NSW (Sydney, Newcastle etc.) lots of good places to live, Sydney has the most overall but also the worst traffic and general congestion of people, so if you don't like that, don't live there. If you don't mind that crap, it is an awesome place to visit/live.
- SA, if you like wine, live there (I do but other than the wine it is boring as hell). Lots of Cathedrals and kiddy fiddler priests too. Champion gamer
- VIC, similar to SA (in terms of access to nice wine/vineyards) only a lot better vibe overall. Melbourne is more relaxed than Sydney but has just as much to do. There are some pretty amazing places to eat out too (awesome cafes). Melbourne also has a lot of IT jobs.
- WA, I really like Perth, nice city that has seen a lot of new development/changes. It is a mining city though so it is probably the most expensive place to live in Australia (inflated prices etc). Gabriel Batistuta lives there! (and
- TAS, only go there if you want to eat or breed with your sister.
- NT, don't bother, too hot and you will probably get eaten by something.
Main issue with living in Australia is the current government being a bunch of old school bigots. They actually tried to change the laws around racism so they could be more casually racist themselves without getting in trouble.
There is a website that tracks their current list of broken pre-election promises which is pretty funny reading (http://www.abc.net.au/news/factcheck/promisetracker).
They also stopped the NBN project to deliver faster broadband to every home in Australia and now won't even deliver FTTN (which is what they promised).
To be honest, the stuff they have not delivered is "first world problem stuff" right now but will harm us long term in favour of making/saving money now (they just want to look good financially).
np4us:)))
Yes, might leave but atm I see no reason, got a job and stuff.
How are the people ? Do they hate on foreigners :D?
Mostly quiet and mind their own business. Foreigners are ok, unless you are from africa / middle east (not for everyone, but for many)
How easy is it to get a job ? ( especially in IT & electrical engineering stuff maybe )
Hard, after Nokia dumped us there are so many IT guys around without jobs. Lots of small startups going around, might get something there though. Little bit more in engineering I think.
How much money € do u need to live a "normal" life?
After taxes you will do fine with ~2k€, accomodation takes a lot especially if you go near Helsinki or other bigger centrums. And as Sebastian said, you won't get rich here but you will do decent, even minimum wages are ok'ish.
Pro Contra
+ Nature, 4 seasons, everything is clean, quite honest and safe to go around.
- Mostly expensive, everything is forbidden, you might hate winter, no decent football.
Why?
Morrisons vouchers!
Enough said.
