yikes.

>my friends circle was composed of indians, malaysians, irish, italians, and chineses.

I used to live in the USA, and as a foreigner I too found an international circle like this to be the most enjoyable. It was easy to come by in the US though. Now I'm doing a PhD in Germany, and the research group is like this, however I've yet to find such group elsewhere, given I very recently got here and havent explored that much yet.

Do you think the natives are like that among themselves too? I'm surprised to hear this about NL. Shame.

>but I also lived in Germany and UK

how was your time in Germany and the UK if you dont mind me asking?

> I’d advise any foreigner to stay away from the country,

Could you elaborate? I just moved to Germany and was thinking if not going to NL was a mistake.

Dang the comments are crazy. So i cant post about the insane triggerhappy police force? What about the outrageous offence budget? The amount of homeless (absolutely towering over the amount that my shithole 3rd world homecountry has) especially in contrast to the offence budget? The opioid crisis? Housing becoming not affordable for so many? Etc etc so many other things? Do I have to allign with the status quo completely?

This may have been what happened to me as I didnt get an H1B 3 years in a row so I had to leave and the company i worked for had to get me an L1 visa. Im not an avid social media poster or anyrhing either, but I have been critical of the US online.

Not getting H1B as someone with an MS diploma felt like it was personal (and not a "lottery" that the visa is claimed to be)

Inb4, then why come? Well, before I came I never knew any of this stuff, as i was a foreigner in high school. Came over for college, stayed for a position at a FAANG corp. "The american dream"
