4 reasons why I Moved France Permanently

[@anandsoni8735]

Hey, I am doing a full-time internship at DxO Labs at the Paris headquarters. And I can say that I can relate to 90 % of what you said.

[@JoshuaBalata]

Glad to hear that Anand! Which one was not so relatable for you ?

[@Alexandria-wd7gm]

After a lot of soul searching, I've decided that I'd love to go to France for my studies. Not necessarily live there but to study there. I'm beginning to learn French. Having learnt Spanish and fluency in English it's not the most difficult language but pronunciation seems it needs some time getting used to it. Voila.

Hi Joshua! I am currently a student at ESCP and I have recently got an offer for an internship in France! I must say, you and all your other fellow KZbinrs have definitely motivated me to make this move to France, and it is honestly everything you say it is! I really like the French culture, and I love the language! Im currently a B2 (nearing C1) and I also learnt French right from my high school in India to my bachelors, which was about 6 years in total! I just warted to say thanks a lot for all you do!!

Working out, solitude, and cooking eating on my own- are all things that are part of my daily life. But not all "western" societies or even south asian societies allow for this lifestyle in today's time, especially with consumerism culture. As a PhD student, it can be tough juggling work and research, but I wake up at 5 am for my workouts and that makes the rest of my day much easier.

Like Paul says in the bible “ What I want to do, I dont do and what I don’t want to do I end up doing “

[@HS-hi6wc]

@@JoshuaBalata Indeed! Just a small request Joshua. Since you also speak Urdu and French- could you please make a short video for Urdu speakers like myself about making logic and meaning by using Urdu--> French rather than English--> French as a translation tool in our heads. It's easier to understand French from an Urdu point of view than English, I realised this during my first year of study. Also, love your videos and growth.

So thrilled for you, Joshua. Stay blessed and healthy always

[@SaturnineFR]

I noticed that there more and more indian expats in french cities. Up until the pandemic they were very rare. I'm happy to understand why it is a country of choice for your kinsmen because I thought that indians only emigrated to english speaking countries. Your food look tasty btw!

[@karthikshenoym]

great advice about life in general right there. There is more to existence than 9-5 job and never forget to enjoy the other part of life however lucrative 9-5 life is.

[@brigedier9]

Whats the best way to bring our parents to France??

[@reeha....7734]

You motivate me when i m at the lowest😢 thinking about the future

[@MadhveeJha]

Love the video, and especially the last part where you say, what's stopping you from being happy.

[@JoshuaBalata]

Thanks Madhvee :)

[@michellemobakeng5938]

How about being 'content' instead of 'happy' about your life in France? As in the words of an American woman living in France who did a KZbin video on a question people often ask her, "Are you happy in France? She said that being happy can be just a moment in a day whereas being content is more lasting. In France, you can have those moments you described for yourself. You don't have to prove anything, that you are the best (that's so American!), you can stop read a book, go to theatre, a museum, cook, go to the open market, walk along the River Seine, etc. Life is not about shopping, buying, consuming even though life in France has caught up with the Joneses but there is still a bit of the slow pace and holding back. Have you visited around Paris and some regions of France?

[@Tenela_Talks]

How is the scope and job opportunities in France after Masters in Digital Marketing?

[@secondthread-uc9bd]

whats your status at french citizenship , could you elaborate on that , is it as bad as US , how long can one expect after say a masters program to get the citizenship. also completely agreed ,french people are chill af , best country of people where most people look down on the rat race, contrary to the rest of the world

C’est pas une mauvaise idée!

[@LL-xk5xh]

My french dream as a french is that indians live the indian dream, Africans the African dream, arabs the arab dream and asians the asian dream. Paris is not a french city anymore and people there go to the countryside mocking local people as dumb. Trust me or not, these people built Paris and ran away from you.

vous melangez tout .il a un bon boulot , paye des impots et si il a des enfants ici ils seront complétement intégrés .on ne fait même plus deux enfants par femme .mais bon il fallait bien le raciste de service

[@LL-xk5xh]

@@artnodulot1525 Tes qualificatifs à deux balles, tu te les gardes. - on ne fait pas deux enfants par femme? Bah oui, avec les charges et taxes que l'on doit payer pour financer la sécu et les cités à tout ce monde là ça coûte une blinde. Le rapport Loland en 1998 sortait un coût de l'immigration à 90 milliards par an, je n'ose imaginer aujourd'hui. - Pourquoi ce serait aux pays occidentaux d'accueillir toute la misère du monde ? Des pays musulmans ou même Israel au moyen Orient n'en veulent pas. On déstabilise la sécurité du pays, l'unité nationale et la cohérence culturelle. Je rentre de Pologne, allez y faire un tour, surtout dans les grandes villes, vous verrez le niveau de sécurité et de confort dans le pays. Ah oui, et le salaire moyen dans leurs grandes villes est désormais supérieur au salaires français. Allez gagner votre salaire misérable en concurrence directe avec des crève la faim qui débarquent par centaines de milliers par an, mais arrêtez de pleurer si le litre d'essence vaut 2€ et que vous n'arrivez pas à joindre les deux bouts. C'est ni plus ni moins à cause de cela.

[@LL-xk5xh]

@@artnodulot1525 Ah oui, et ton qualificatif de troll lfi, que les français vivent en France, et les indiens en Inde, et les Africains en Afrique, c'est quoi le problème en fait? Vas vivre 15 jours dans une cité dans une grande ville "française", on verra ton discours après ça.
