@SimonCalder Phuket has long since out priced itself. Comparable to European prices now.

Every 12 DAYS, China's carbon emissions exceed Australia's total annual emissions.
Consequently, Australia's efforts to achieve net zero emissions would be offset by China's emissions in just two weeks.
Net Zero is a scam of massive proportions!

👉One point off the top 6
👉Semi-final of the FA Cup
He's just 33 years old and took over an absolute disaster of a team. Incredible stuff.

@MaxxingDelusion It was built to keep all the population as close together as possible. Spanish cities are way too crowded. There is so much space in Spain.

@AlexGrace12 It would be enough but Championship is totally unpredictable

#Millwall's reverse results against the teams they still have to play:
Norwich ✅ 1-2
West Brom ✅ 3-0
QPR ✅ 1-2
Stoke ✅ 2-0
Leicester ✅ 1-0
Oxford 🤝 2-2
Would another 16 points be enough for 2nd place? By my calculation would give us 88 points.

Heard this a few times recently.
Don’t vape in #Thailand. Defo don’t bring vapes into the country. If caught at the airport you are fooked.
40000 baht is around 1000 pound.
Michael McCormick@Michael67293772
@CleansedTweets Kid in my gym (jomtein) got stopped last week on jomtein Beach with a vape in his hand riding his moped. Police 🚔 pulled him and offered him 3 choices. ฿20000 on the spot fine. ฿40000 if he has to go and collect the money. Or go to court and face 2 years prison. He payed ฿40000

He’s right…
Chile 🇨🇱 has everything
It’s just harder to get into
Which honestly… is part of the appeal
Less plug-and-play than places like Paraguay…
So it stays more local
You don’t really see the typical digital nomad crowd here
which honestly… I kind of like
But if you can make it work, it’s one of the best places to actually build a life

Chile 🇨🇱 has all a country needs to be popping as a digital nomad and remote entrepreneur hub Great weather Amazing nature Solid infrastructure Well-connected flight hub Local startup-tech-finance scene So what's missing? Why is it getting outshined by Paraguay, which is a way less interesting travel destination? As someone who has hundreds of nomadic clients from multiple nationalities, I see the following issues that need addressing: - NO nomad visa path for professionals with active income: Making a nomad visa at 2.5k USD a month required income would make it the highest requirement in South America, but still be easy for the people who'd come anyway! - OVERPRICED investor visa: 500k is the absolute highest in the region, surpassing Panama, Costa Rica, DR, Brazil and Mexico while giving just a temporary residence. A dual option of 250k for TR and 500k for PR a-la Panama would be much more reasonable. - UNFLEXIBLE investor visa: Adding a real estate, bank deposit or stock investment route would provide more attractive qualification paths as well. If these are not as desired, simply make them a higher amount vs active business - UNFLEXIBLE rentista visa: Following the example of Costa Rica, doing a bank deposit or showing savings option would make it easier for nomads without recurrent passive income to qualify. This is not as important if a nomad visa is introduced. - RESTRICTIVE presence requirements for PR: Chile currently demands presence for 10 months a year to qualify for PR conversion. This is the highest in ALL of Latam. Many nomads wish for their time to count towards PR. Lowering this threshold to 6 or 9 months a year would already guarantee that people become tax residents and are commited to the country, but allows for those with 2 bases or frequent international travel to get to PR. - UNCOMPETITIVE Tax holiday: The 3 years benefit is good, but regionally gets outshined by Panama, Uruguay and Paraguay. I'd recommend raising it to 4-5 years to be more aligned with Western inbound expat schemes like Italy, Spain, and New Zealand. Alternatively, creating a Flat Tax option for immediate tax residency (say 150k a year) or an "invest to keep extending" like Uruguay would place it on many radars. If you are a Chilean policymaker, I guarantee that implementing even half of these would place Chile significantly higher in the global investment and talent migration stage!

I am in Bali now for 2 weeks …. And I’m too old for this place.
The crowd is easy to spot.
Yoga mats. Linen bags. Tattoos.
Matcha to go.
Scooters. No helmet. No shirt.
It’s almost a UNIFORM/ BRAND of
the consciously awakened nomad, spiritually aligned,
recently escaped from the 9–5 pressure of the West.
Three months in Bali. Sometimes more.
Living well on prices they’d complain about back home.
Sitting in cafés, MacBooks open,
talking about healing, spirituality, the next cacao ceremony.
And how much they LOVE this island.
Sure you do.
You love your photos.
The aesthetic.
The affordable “healthy lifestyle”…. bowls, matcha, sunlight.
But DO YOU actually love Bali?
Because loving a place isn’t just consuming what’s beautiful.
It’s taking responsibility for what isn’t.
And the other Bali exists too….
trash in the streets,
sick street dogs, stray cats,
the parts that don’t fit your feed.
They don’t disappear just because you crop them out.
So here’s a thought:
Skip one smoothie. One.
And donate that money to the people actually doing the work here…
cleaning up what your version of Bali ignores.
Or at least BE HONEST.
You don’t love Bali.
You love the version of it that looks good on your social media feed.
