Hi Melissa, I loved your content , I would be great if you can also provide a one end to end project in MS. Excel/ including all calculations of Expat assignments and all terms related as per global mobility, it would be great for someone who is in the initial phase of career.
Hi! I know this is an old video so not sure you'll see this but if you do I have a question I was hoping you help with. I was presented with an EXPAT manager position in Argentina and wondering what % uplift I should ask for? Thanks and have a great day!
Bump into me!? You will learn the power of a shoulder tackle! If you drive close to me? Oh! I am so sorry! I accidentally dropped my water bottle in your direction!😮😊😅😂❤🎉
I am Argentina and it is the 3rd time that we are going to fervor, this time we were 4 people we ate seafood barbecue, Spanish tortilla babe, dessert, wine and coffee u$s 40 dollars per person. But it's worth it! ☺️
Really cold at present in Bs As now end May 2024. Winter forecast is that it will be the coldest ever for many years !!!! I enjoy other times of the year but not winter as that is cold but also very humid, which cuts into the bones
What a bullshit video. Don’t give people wrong or unsafe information. you can’t go for a walk without people asking for money. if your white or european you will be robbed. It’s the most basic & dangerous places in the world. No local wants to life there. Most homes have no running water this includes no toilet. People bath in rain water, people wash their cars & bikes in rain water. The restaurants are cheap but supermarkets are expensive if buying imported goods. The imagination and security at the airport ask for dollars. not all off course. There is no running water in the Airport toilets. There is far safer countries with the facilities you recommend elsewhere.
I definitely got offended by your food comments, but I don't blame you. I can understand how growing up on fake meat and radioactive potatoes in the US can render your taste buds in a near-dead state, so you don't recognize fresh produce and fish. I don't hate on expats, but I don't like how the expat situation is very one-sided. You can come here, but we can't go over there, and if we are lucky enough to be an expat in one of your countries, we don't have the same perks as you. Like I said, very one-sided, but kudos to you for being on the lucky side. I'm glad you enjoyed your time in our not-so-well-built buildings, how brave of you...
Can you take two small dogs (under 10 pounds each) with you into the cabin? I know I can take one, but I have two. A bonded pair. And so far I have hesitated to travel on airplanes.
I must call out, to you is you put Brazil before angola. And completely ignored the fact that slavery happened. The reason why the cuisine is similar is because of the tribes that were taking in the transatlantic slave trade, those people groups brought their recipes and cooking techniques with them. Among the major countries during the transatlantic slave trade was Angola, Gabon, Nigeri,a Congo and Ghana... Which is why the food systems tend to overlap especially if you compare to Brazilian, Caribbean and even African-American food styles and flavor profiles. I think it's an important piece that you should certainly add because it removes the colonial ignorance from your rhetoric.
Melissa. There is poverty everywhere. There is an ENORMOUS amount of violence in the United States. There are people who make over 100k US dollars and are homeless. There are people who do not feel safe there. Not even children from other children. It's heartbreaking. There are places in the US that has trash in the streets and it stinks so bad. There is so much poverty in lots of places, but people are considerate enough to show the good parts of the country that they appreciate instead of showing videos that look like unicef propaganda. That is not to negate the fact that there is poverty in Angola like all places around the world. The company that built your development, was it an Angolan company or foreign? There are plenty of people in Angola who live in houses built by Angolans and do not experience the issues mentioned in your video. The food you described is not traditional Angolan food. Btw...Portuguese and Brazilian foods are delicious. There are places there that are not surrounded by the poverty shown in your video. Living there for 4 years or less while working in a company that provides you with the basics does not make you an expert or informed enough to make such videos to illustrate things there. Try using words such, "my experience in ...". I do agree that life there is generally hard.
I’m moving overseas with my family to Argentina 🇦🇷, planned for the end of 2024, are you guys still there? I’m retired at 40 and done with the US… Argentina here we come 💪🏽
im argentinian and for me el chalten was the best trip by far in my life i visited brazil, colombia, mexico and ecuador and ironically the best place i founded here in the south, someday i will move there ... goood video 👍
Ahhh Funge. The consistency of wallpaper paste and smell of old socks, and tastes worse than either. Is it still $10 for a beer down at the Punto Final?
Hi guys, thanks for the good content. I'm wondering if you guys maintain or off the top of your head would recommend companies that commonly hire for overseas, have a history/relationships with countries with overseas positions. A sort of jumping off point for my search. Thank you.
Also instead of you guys getting upset at the video uploader for just reporting her experience, instead you guys should be furious at the corrupt Angolan government who is the cause for all of this from the wealth gap, poverty and lack of good infrastructure(and the good ones only for the affluent), prices, etc that's been going on since the Dos Santos government. And lets not forget a mixed Portuguese elite class... And bringing up poverty in the USA(who the average person in poverty is living better than the average person in Angola) is not going to solve this issue. The POVERTY rate for USA is $14,000 a YEAR. The poverty rate for Angola us $1.90 DAILY! And according to the World Bank 32.8% of the population is poor vs 11.5% for the USA. Also where are the SOCIAL programs for the poor in Angola? Where is Angola's homeless shelters? Or even food stamps? You guys are just upset that she shattered the DELUSIONS of Angola being this rich country in Africa. All I see is kneejerk reactions.
I'm curious, did your Portuguese improve? My partner has asked me to move there, I'm South African. One thing that definitely frustrates me is not being able to communicate and hear what they are saying. I'm a social person, so I really suffer when I'm there😂😢
