    Unless you have good partners. A friend of mine owns a restaurant with 2 other associates: each one works 2 straight days and they close on Sundays. They are not doing bad.

    Whose eyes?

    1.) Employers?
    2.) Those who will be hired to work at summer time?
    3.) Those who could keep 4 weeks fully paid holiday or opposite not having that?

    I'll assume answers will vary, do you?

    In any cases here we'll look that via 3. groups people. They are ones who'll make calls here and 2 others? Just have accept that (feeling ''dumb'' or not).

    Growing up they sell you hard on the idea of the US and it seems so perfect. Then you become an adult and realize it's just as shitty as any other place, if not worse

    It depends on the place. You can go from Hell to Heaven in a twenty mile span.

    Many years ago but I was about to live in the United States.

    E-V22 - E-BY7449 - E-BY7566 - E-FT155550
    According to oral family tradition E-FT155550 comes from a deserter of Napoleon's troops (1808-1813) who stayed in Spain and changed his surname.

    Story of my life right there. When I finally got to visit NYC for the first time, it was sort of an underwhelming experience, to say the least. Despite the fact that it was during the upbeat 90's, mind you. I would have outright hated it had I gotten first after 9/11 or now.

    NYC is really rotten. Sure, you have a lot of real good restaurants, but apart from that it's a concrete jungle
