Europe What's living near the Austria-Hungary border like, on either side, particularly given the wealth gap?

Post image
228 Upvotes

Austria is one of the richest countries in Europe and Hungary one of the poorest, so this has got to be one of the most extreme wealth divides inside any free-movement bloc. Do people commute across for work? Shop on the other side for bargains? Do Hungarians and Austrians in this region generally get on well? Are people generally bilingual in German and Hungarian? And any other insights you can share. Danke / Köszönöm !

Is it boring or mundane, what do you do for fun? Seems far away from everything. And how are the winters?

Europe What is life like in Amsterdam, Netherlands?

Post image
378 Upvotes

I’m interested in answers especially if you’re a post-secondary student/foreign student. I travelled to the Netherlands in 2025, and I absolutely fell in love with Amsterdam. However, I know travelling somewhere is vastly different from living there on a full time basis so I want to hear about daily life here.

Comment on pros and cons about living here, things you like and don’t like, overall experiences, etc! (Feel free to also share any photos if you’re comfortable)

North America How is it living in Wausau, WI?

Post image
13 Upvotes

I have been looking for somewhere to move because my hobbies don't really match with where I currently live. I enjoy hunting ducks, geese, and small game. I like muskie and walleye fishing, I like to camp, hike, kayak, and target shoot. I am graduating with a degree in Industrial engineering and asked AI where a good place would be that combines everything I like and it suggested Wausau, Rothschild, or Green Bay.

How is living in this area? Is it a good place to raise a family (are my chances of meeting someone good, are the schools good, is it crime and drug ridden, etc.)? How liberal/conservative is it? How is the job market? Are there opportunities to hunt waterfowl and small game? Are there ranges nearby to shoot at? Is there good muskie fishing there? Are there good places to nearby to camp and hike?

I sort of miss it, 6 floor buildings, food and shops right outside. I'm not a people person but I feel like I do miss the amount of people just doing things. I like to watch people in downtown toronto but it just feels different.

I was suprised to hear that 50 million+ people in Africa live nomadic pastoralist lifestyles. Some communities like Fulani and Tuareg have a lot of nomads. How is living as a traditional nomad like?

I’m a single woman in my early 30s looking to move to Chicago, IL when my lease ends next winter. Been researching lots of neighborhoods and the walkability of Edgewater really appeals to me. I’d be commuting to the South Loop for work. What does public transport look like? Is there much of a night life there? Are there any clubs/groups to join as a way to make friends?

This area includes the neighbors of Brooklyn Park in Anne Arundel County and Curtis Bay, Brooklyn and Cherry Hill in Baltimore

Cherry Hill gives me a different vibe than Curtis and Brooklyn so I was debating whether to include it
