Nine Great Things About Eastern Europe

[@robertdominicanrepublic]

As an American who has traveled and lived throughout both East and West EU (surprisingly) Belgrade, Serbia was by far the best hospitality I've received anywhere in Europe.

[@AaronDames]

Last year I moved from California to Uruguay and I tell my friends that the only other place that I've experienced such a high degree of personal freedom is Serbia. The people in both countries are fantastic.

[@mattball7074]

Have you visited Uruguay before making the move down? Thanks

[@AaronDames]

@@DS-vx3wf Yes. Don't plan on renouncing my citizenship anytime soon.

[@AaronDames]

@@mattball7074 No I did not. It was kind of a now or never opportunity so we pulled the trigger. (Although I had been to Argentina.) I did do a significant amount of research before deciding to move. It takes a long time to get here by plane which can be a drawback (or advantage depending on how you look at it), but there are direct flights between Montevideo and Miami.

[@mattball7074]

@@AaronDames okay thanks for that! Argentina surely gave you a good insight! Yea i know i think its a positive if youre looking for an escape spot, a bolthole. I cant get in right now it would seem although there may be exemptions? What do you know about the 10 year tax exemption as well?

[@AaronDames]

@@mattball7074 Yes, there are exemptions if you're coming here under a residency application. My wife and I came here and because we did some as residency applicants, they treated us like residents which I suppose is the current law.

Belgrade is amazing and planning to buy property there this year____ finger crossed…can’t beat Belgrade: amazing friendly people, amazing energy, amazing food and even better night life, freedom and what I like the most is how Belgrade is well connected to the rest of Europe…wherever you want to fly is extremely close. …max 2.5 hours or so

Excellent observations. I was born and raised in Eastern Europe and could testify that this is true.

[@anthonybuono02809]

Living in Uruguay and having visited Serbia, the degree of personal freedom in both countries far exceeds that in the USA.

[@KingOfClay]

All great points, Andrew! I just like the ease of life in Eastern Europe. When the SHTF, Eastern Europeans will have their own food/gardens and know how to take care of themselves. But in Western Europe, everyone is so dependent on the government that tyranny will come swiftly.

I'm a Latino myself and yet I get along with the Polish dudes more. They are very responsive and direct. No bs. I'm not a white guy so society doesn't pressure me to be PC. Those Polacks never got that PC memo and I love that shit. One day I'll visit Poland. I know they're in central Europe but they have that East European mentality.

Not sure if you heard, I was told its "peaches versus coconuts", americans are very soft on the outside, they will tell strangers their life story, but it's all outside things, often times, the friendships will easy come and easy go, and you never learn the person true colors, you get that hard center in the middle, asians, eastern europeans on the other side, they are more reserved when you first meet them, it taken some effort to get them to open up, but once you get thru the initial reservations and barriers, they will open up and you will often make friends for life, resembling a coconut.

[@tigroussibirak8006]

@Michael Bolton Get Red Pilled. Corporate media is all propaganda. Use critical thinking. It's a CIA Op. The coup of 2014 was a CIA Op. Russia responded by taking Crimea and supporting separatists in the east D L etc... Russia doesn't mess around when it comes to security. They invaded Georgia in 2008 and supported separatists in the same way they invaded Ukraine in 2014 to support separatists It's all political. The Kleptocracy in Russia has a particular allergy to democracy. NATO seems to think they can expand forever which is obviously not true. Ukraine must be the Switzerland of Eastern Europe if they want to thrive they need to change laws and become like the Singapore of Eastern Europe the Switzerland of Eastern Europe they need investment they need massive amount of capital they need a tax structure that supports entrepreneurialism and they need to be self-sufficient and have a strong self-defense.

[@InternationalHealthCoach]

@Michael Bolton NO! Theoretically, anything can happen, but the probability of any invasion is extremely low. UA is much stronger now than 8 years ago & a recent survey shows over 1/3 of UA Citizens will take up arms & fight any invasion. That political costs would be catastrophic for Putin. Russia could easily put a choke hold on the UA economy by stopping all exports to UA. In 60 days chaos would be rampant. UA depends on Russian gas, coal, fuel, industrial supplies, the list is very long... Finland and Sweden did not join NATO after World war II because it was not in their best interest since they are so close to Russia and had a difficult past with Russia. As long as NATO stays out of Ukraine and NATO weapons are not located in Ukraine, then Russia's security is not threatened. Russian Aggression is always based upon political calculations to strengthen security for the ruling kleptocracy and the oligarchy. They all work together. I am relocating to Kiev Ukraine from Atlanta Georgia USA this summer regardless of whatever happens I'm still relocating.

I spent 6 weeks in Belgrade and for the most part it was great. The people were friendly, the nature in western Serbia near Bosnian border is gorgeous, almost everyone under 40 had very good English even better than France, Spain, and Italy, the city is very walkable, everything is very cheap, and the nightlife is amazing. The only downsides are that the air quality is poor because everyone smokes and the cars are not regulated well, if you want any food that is not Eastern European or Middle Eastern you are shit out of luck although the Burgers were actually quite good, and no one cleans up after their dogs so there is dog shit and piss on the sidewalks in many parts of the city.

Having lived in Ukraine for 2 years (and Poland, Romania, Hungary, etc), I can tell you that Slavic countries are not soft countries. They do leave you alone - completely, lol. They will not coddle you at all. 0%. It is a great place to shed that weak, feminine American softness you didn't know you had, a place to find gravitas and power. You will become strong and sturdy there. Once you are nice and strong...then what? Come to Latin America for tacos and chicas where the only Corona they think about comes in a six pack.

For the last two years, I have mostly been bouncing between Tirana and Belgrade. I have chosen Tirana as my residence. Even though by population Belgrade is much larger, Tirana lives bigger. Mihaelova Street is nice, but Toptani Mall and the shopping streets of Blloku sre much better. The Bohemian Quarter in Belgrade, but the cafés and restaurants in Blloku and the adjacent Air Stadium are far more extensive and upscale. Belle Epoque Pâtisserie is just flat out stunning. In an area about 1 km by 2 km that encompasses Blloku, Air Stadium, Downtown and Pizara i Re nearly everyone speaks good English. That is because everyone under the age of 40 was required to take 5 years of English. Even in the tourist part of Belgrade English is neither as common nor as good. Cost of living is about the same. Rents are higher in Belgrade, but food is more expensive in Tirana. Both cities, in their centers, are walkable, but Belgrade is really hilly and Tirana is flat. The kicker, though, is the new 'Remote Worker' visa that is one year, renewable and exempts 135K of foreign income from taxation.

I've only ever visited Hungary and the Czech Republic for a short tour back in 2004. I've never really thought about living anywhere in Central or Eastern Europe but maybe I should consider looking.

I respected the local regulations in Tbilisi which required me to show a negative PCR test before being seated in their restaurants. They were very thankful for my business and were very gracious.

Out of all cities in Eastern Europe Moscow is the best one, the most progressive and full of everything.

Or be injured just strolling through the city center because of some riots. Literally zero stability, if you ask me - I've lived in Moscow for 25 years, so I have a notion of what's happening there.

The poorest white countries are all found in Eastern Europe. They don't have much to offer migrants so they don't go there.

[@volkanphoenix5441]

@@del.see.oh.89 the biggest reason for that is because their economies and societies were decimated by 2 world wars and then communism. Also, the poorest Eastern European countries look better, and are safer and more pleasant to live in, than the richest west countries currently. Al lot of that has to do with the great replacement happening in the west now.

Czech Republic high taxes ? I know they use the VAT on everything ...I like the fact you can open an account there under 500k and they won't report it to your host country

Ah.. Eastern europe without Romania. Interesting. Also : with Georgia and Turkey. And Russia. Very interesting

[@popadaniel9632]

@Fauci is-a-liar Geography is obvious, so let's skip that. My point is the comment (the begining, to be more obvious) . Little whiner? Why the honor of the title, why the reaction? Perhaps georgian, turkish, russian? Certainly not from Romania (get it now?).

Did you look at the map? Russia is a significant part of Europe and what is its part if not eastern? Turkey is in Europe too, Georgia is irrelevant here

I'm from Latvia. Not cool and great here. Absolute Covid paranoia ( I'm fully vaccinated, so I'm not any camps, free choice), high taxes, unfriendly people and not that great weather. Subjective opinion though. I left Latvia for good in 2011.

[@vipeton.8927]

@Fauci is-a-liar I don't care much about Russia. Next province of China. Never was scared of old song from 50s - Russians are coming. Plenty of Latvians are anti Russian zombies. I don't care. I'm not living there. Latvia can cease to exist for all I care.

My wife is Armenian (I'm German), I married her im Armenia (Late 2019 ) and I'Ve been there 3 times since each time for about 3 weeks (Yerevan). What I found: 1. People don't WANT to speak English whether they are young or old, in fact they don't want to speak at all. EXCEPT when you are in a 4 star hotel or other very touristy places- which is not were I was for most of the time. 2. If you don't have a guide you can't find anything because houses have no house numbers in general. You literaly have to call the person you want to visit and ask if they can see you from the window or you need to describe your surroundings to find out whether you're at the correct address. 3. Cars, houses and roads are in an absolutely desolate state. 4. Armenians are not very friendly towards foreigners- not unfriendly either but they behave rather unemotional towards people - even though they are quite emotional towards each other. They treat you like an object. 5. Armenia is working with far less rules- and yet everything gets sorted quickly if you know the right people. But it doesn't get sorted at all if you're a foreigner because of their refusal to speak English. Quite frankly: I've never felt as helpless in a place as in Armenia (Also because of their writing). So while I can see the advantages like taxation, personal freedom, visa free access to former SU-countries etc.. I'd find it enormously difficult to live there. And I dare to say Andrew that the only reason you were able to set up camp there was because you probably had "international" people to deal with all the hassle reg. authorities for you. Either that or they really hated me for marrying one of their own^^ ; )

The best thing about Eastern Europe is that they don't speak English. You learn their language and culture and integrate

How can you say Belgrade is free when I just came from there and they had a Covid pass for restaurants?? And masks must be worn indoors? I was disappointed spending time in Serbia where there wasn’t all the freedoms I thought. I moved on to Albania, Montenegro and Croatia. Montenegro was strict however Albania no masks needed to be worn nor vax pass or anything, that was the freest country in the Balkans. Croatia was great too, mask should be worn indoors yet no c0vid pass and people aren’t even talking about virus
