#Rome On the other hand, today was a practically cloudless day and we had the opportunity to explore the civilized northern part of the city. Heaven and earth compared to the neighborhood we live in 😅

#Rome It's crazy that in the city center, parrots are just hanging out in the trees. I'm shocked that they're not cold! I thought I'd only see this in the tropics!

The Malaysian system started to annoy me, because after a year, I still haven't received their infamous nomad form (which involves paying hefty taxes), and now it seems that I'll be getting reminders every 90 days at 1:10 am)) Did anyone else receive it?…
#Rome
#Rome Another unusual thing in Rome - we went into the Orthodox Church of St. Nicholas. Inside, of course, everyone speaks Russian, albeit with hints of an Italian accent)

#Rome We found a store in Rome with Asian delicacies, and we stocked up on a bunch of stuff to take home 💪 I don't care that it's twice the real price, but now I have my favorite Korean drinks, even grape makgeolli!
By the way, they left the key to the hut for me again, as if it were 5 grams.

#Rome
#Rome A tour of the apartment we rented in Rome for a week with my friend and colleague, Sanya. Probably the best Airbnb I've ever booked Price: 170$/day, 85$/person. It's quite normal for Rome, considering its location and size.
Fuck the Italians who pay 45% taxes for such crap

By the way, the metro is also shit.
By the way, the metro is also shit. Huge parts of the city aren't covered by it. With such a bus schedule and such insane taxi prices, the only option is to walk for half an hour. I fucking paid 35 euros for a weekly travel pass. There was no such shit in…

#Rome The buses in Rome are complete shit. Seriously - a city bus every half an hour? Which just doesn't show up, and they suggest waiting for the next one in 20 minutes "like it's earlier"? When it only fucking takes 20 minutes to get there?? In civilized…

#Rome The weather on the day of arrival was terrible. It wasn't particularly cold, but the rain spoiled everything. In the photo - the aftermath of the New Year's fair, in the form of seagulls and the remnants of entertainment tents.

Travel post — December 31, 2023
My opinion:
My opinion: It looks like another 2-year tourist visa. Obvious pros - the opportunity to get +1 country of residence with a bank account. Obvious cons - most likely, after its expiration, at best, you'll be able to reapply for it again, and no one will grant…

The Koreans have announced the nomad visa. They promise to launch its application from January 1, 2024. Traditionally, the conditions are as vague as ever and refer to the ministry's statement. What is known at the moment: - The visa is granted for 2…

I got my second passport. Initially, I thought I didn't need it at all, but that was before my first visa application. Those damn Frenchies held my passport for a month, doing the very complicated task of stamping the visa, effectively making me unable to…

I'm looking for travel companions to Taiwan in February. I plan to spend a month there and visit several cities. Write to me! If you're going to be anywhere else in Asia, please also let me know. Maybe I'll be passing through there too.

It's hard to find all sorts of cool stuff from Asia in Moscow, but I managed to stock up a bit for the New Year's Eve celebration.

Aaaah! I applied for a card reissue, and the damn Armenian bank lost my KYC form🤬. And instead of telling me about it, the bank stayed silent for a whole week. - Are you making the cards yet? - You didn't send the KYC form. - I sent it through the website…

The vacancies that we've earned. But I think there's a lack of a benefit like a sleeping bag in the office, so we don't have to go home unnecessarily.

#Seoul I didn't really use buses much in Moscow, but in Seoul, they're almost a must-have. So I'm asking the readers - do the benches in Moscow get heated? (I honestly don't remember). In Seoul, they definitely do, and it's really awesome. Otherwise, I…
