Travelling

[Sawyer]

Been to both. If you're looking to party Newcastle is amazing.
For an actual nice city though with enty of other things to do, Edinburgh is amazing.

If anyone comes through Newcastle hit me up, full board for any Inter fan.

Any Czech FIF'ers around? Been looking to live in Prague (have a nice job opportunity there in Logistics) and was wondering if any of the FIFers could help me out with questions about monthly salary and places to rent.

Been a couple times in Prague, and always felt it was super cheap and would be nice to live in. Anyway thanks in advance!

Here's what my dude said below:

There is Prague Expats website – it provides a lot of useful information such as healthcare, residential areas etc.

Searching for an apartment – here is a link available in English to get an idea of rental cost. Prague 3, 5, 6 is residential area not far away from city center and less noisy (Prague 1 & 2 are really full of tourists).

Cost of living

Average monthly net income in Prague is 30K CZK, approx.1300$/month. Foreigners are making more than Czech citizens.

Lunch in average restaurant 6 $, beer 1-2 $, meat for entire family for Saturday lunch 10-13 $.

Decent restaurant 4 people dinner 60-80$.

Car cost from 30K $, quite good car. Petrol 1.25 $/liter.

Wtf..cost of a car is the same as yearly average salary

Small update on my behalf:

I've accepted the job offer in Prague. I'll be working for one of the biggest beer breweries in the world. Starter's job actually, but gotta start somewhere. Earning around 37.000 CZ after tax. So I reckon I'll be fine for a year until I make promotion and such. So now I'll have to go find accomodation and then leave to Prague end of this month. Exciting times. Thanks Brehme and n4l for the tips and asking around. Certainly will use those sites to find accomodation!

I cancelled at least 11 trips this year...

Was supposed to go to (1) Morocco [March], (2) Amsterdam [early April], (3) some Greek islands [mid April], (4) Paris for Roland Garros, (5) Rome and London for the Euro, (6) Miami, Panama, Costa Rica, Colombia, New York for summer vacation and if possible a Copa America game, (7) London again for Wimbledon, (8) Milano and Barcelona late August], (9) Poland, Czechia, Slovakia and Germany express trip [early Oct or late Oct], (10) Dubai [November] and (11) the annual Paris christmas trip.

So instead ended up being a couch potato for 10 months with a lot of money to spend on useless things...

When normality returns, airport and airplane staff, assuming they still have their jobs, will be very pleased to see me again. I kinda used to live there lol.

At least I haven't lost anyone close due to this virus, trips I can do whenever.

Fuck brehme don't even give them any ideas you're well off, they don't need any more reasons to hate you.

You a wealthy senior. Many swedes take their retirement in greece because of the low taxes.

Greece has low taxes? You sure that's the reason?

 

[Candreva Crosses]

Alright Brehme, don't think twice, make the papers ready and adopt me. I swear to god I'll be a good son.

 

[brehme1989]

But what if I am a bad daddy?

 

[Candreva Crosses]

Alright Brehme, don't think twice, make the papers ready and adopt me. I swear to god I'll be a good son.

Imagine when he will lecture you and brings down a 100 pages essay of why you are wrong and he is right. You ready for that?

I´ve been gone for a while but here are some more pics from Italy!

Still finding ways to road trip. Even in these times.

Everything from 2020 is in red. Cheap gas and a cancelled international trip made this possible.

That yellow in CA is disputed, unsure marking.

The Yellow within Kansas was a trip to Colorado where I wasn't the driver for that portion.

Chimney Rock (Nebraska)

Ski Area within Colorado

West Colorado part of the Rockies from the summer

Brewery from South Illinois, closer to St. Louis than Chicago

Garden of the Gods, from Southern Illinois

Monument Rocks (Chalk rocks) in West Kansas

Lake Superior, from Minnesota

From Kentucky

It's only low because no one pays it

I've always wanted to visit sicily for the weather and food.
Anyone any recommendations of what part of sicily is best? I'd like to be close to a beach and have some nice history around me.

 

[xthetap]

In Istanbul for a few days, anyone got recommendations,? Of any type really I'm open to do anything.
