@IndianTechGuide Until recently, experience felt like the biggest job security. Now it feels like adaptability matters even more.

🚨 Meta is laying off as many as 8,000 employees, 10% of the global employees of Facebook and Instagram in 2 days (May 20) After the May 20 layoffs, Meta is expected to carry out more job cuts in the second half of the year. An employee described a few colleagues stockpiling office supplies with free snacks and drinks and chargers as a form of “trauma bonding.”

@marinebharat People spend years paying EMIs in Mumbai, while Dubai is now offering residency with small apartment purchases — no wonder more people are seriously exploring options abroad.

Dubai allows 2 year residential visa on purchase of Studio Apartment Earlier rule required minimum 7.5 lakh UAE Dirham investment Studio or 1 bed apartments in Dubai are way cheaper than Mumbai Suburbs

@D162Michele Home ownership numbers alone don’t show the full picture — the real difference lies in affordability and how the housing system actually works.

Only the West can make owning your home sound like a bad thing. Home ownership? But at what cost?!

@livedoornews Visa rules and stay conditions vary a lot between countries. Most cases like this come down to paperwork issues and overstaying.

【発覚】千葉・旭市のアパートで不法滞在の外国人14人を摘発 約7年不法滞在していた人も news.livedoor.com/article/detail… 摘発されたのは、タイ、インドネシア、カンボジア国籍の20代から50代の男女14人。14人のうち13人は短期滞在のビザで、1人は技能実習生として入国し、アパートで暮らしていたという。

@borsacibirgenc The real journey isn’t about money… it brings you back, but it never lets you stay the same as before.

25 bin liraya Japonya’ya gidiyorsunuz. Oradan 3 bin liraya Kore’ye geçiyorsunuz. Oradan da 5-6 bin liraya Tayland, Vietnam, Bali gibi çoğu lokasyona geçebiliyorsunuz. En büyük maliyet ilk giderken oluyor. O sokaklarda yürümek, insanları izlemek, işten çıkan birisiyle sokak satıcısında aynı masada yemek yemek… Belki bunun için 5-6 ay fazla çalışırsınız ama eve döndüğünüzde aynı insan olmuyorsunuz. Enerjiniz varken gidin…

@ragefighthouse Every immigrant’s experience is different. Background, culture, and people’s perceptions can greatly affect how someone is treated.

I’m an immigrant who’s lived and worked in the UK for 16 years. I have a North American accent and I’m white. I’ve never once been told to ‘go back’ to my ‘shithole country’ or to ‘stop stealing jobs from British people’. You’re not concerned about immigration. You’re racist.

Most people think Europe = expensive life. Then there’s Moldova • Affordable rent • Cheap groceries • Low transport costs • Peaceful lifestyle • Budget-friendly for expats & students One of Europe’s most underrated countries right now Full cost breakdown: abrova.com/post/cost-of-l…

@trzaskowski_ @warszawa When a city doesn't just develop... but teaches people to believe in the future.

@earthcurated Views like this make people fall in love with Japan before even visiting.

Mount Fuji, Japan on a clear day🇯🇵

@himuroReborn398 Every country has different public rules and culture boundaries - living abroad makes those differences much more visible.

熊本城の前でイス◯ムが公園に７００人集まって、祷りを行った。 熊本市議が怒り中止にさせました👏👏👏tweetsoku.news/2026/05/17/%e7…

@dadsweb67 Small but interesting point a lot of us actually tend to assume this without even realising it. Language and culture gaps are far more common than we think.

Just saw a comment that they “love that Japanese call it Mr Fuji” and am non-ironically wondering how many foreigners think the san in Fuji-san is the honorific san and not just “Mt”. It never really occurred to me before

@flight_chan Ibiza has its own hype, but Mallorca’s slow, clean, no-rush vibe. This is where you really feel the European resort experience.

【予算23〜26万円】（3泊4日） マヨルカ島　in スペイン🇪🇸 「ヨーロッパのリゾートってこういうことか…」ってなる地中海の楽園🏝️ 海が綺麗で、街並みも全部おしゃれ。 イビザみたいな派手さより“のんびり贅沢に過ごす”感じが最高すぎる…。 ゆったりリゾート気分味わいたい人はこっち推したい

@kobateck Seeing these buildings nestled in Japan’s mountains feels like city and nature are breathing in the same frame… just makes me wonder what everyday life there actually feels like.

@poke428 Sometimes, visa rejections are not about the rules themselves, but about how they are interpreted.

あれ・・・・ふと思ったんだけど 経営・管理ビザの3000万円要件は、既存事業者には2028年10月まで3年間の経過措置がある。 クマール氏が不許可になったのは2026年2月。つまり3000万円要件はまだ適用されていない時期。 ということは、不許可の真の理由は3000万円じゃないじゃん

@Dougmcg1 People see the passport, but the real value is the freedom that comes with it.

Had to dive down to Glasgow today for a quick passport. That burgundy one entitled me to work live and study in 27 countries. That blue thing doesnt. Brexiteers and Farage supporters you're fuckwits. Brexit wins eh. 🏆

@rishibagree Depends on what you want honestly — beaches, mountains, culture, or food. Every state in India almost feels like a different country.

Suggest a place in India for a 7-day vacation??

@peegzy1 Things that look simple from the outside are often far more complex on the inside.

The level of education required to work at NASA is humbling.

@OomenBerlin Visa rules reflect more on trust levels, history, and diplomatic balance between countries than on fairness—so the treatment often isn’t the same on both sides.

Warum lassen wir eigentlich US-Bürger ganz einfach in die EU einreisen, während EU-Bürger bei der Einreise in die USA eine völlige Entwürdigung durchlaufen?

@earthcurated 87–95% of people never traveling abroad… truly makes Brazil feel like a self-contained and diverse world.

🇧🇷 🛫 FUN FACT: Brazil — ~87–95% of citizens have never traveled abroad. (A massive, self-contained world of its own!)

@sircalebhammer Concrete builds cities... But greenery is what makes them feel alive.

JUST FUCKING PLANT TREEEESSSSSSSS They are what make cities LIVABLE Here’s San Antonio’s river walk today. It’s the most “meh that’s nice” tourist spot, and yet San Antonio is the EIGHTH most tourist visited US city because of it. TREEESSSSSSSSSS
