Also, the first class tickets for the train were totally worth it.
America is a shithole. I got out in '17 and my quality of life has improved tenfold.

Feel free to not answer because this is identifiable info. However, how did you emigrate? Where to? Did you have a family with you or just yourself?
Admittedly, while I think America is a shit hole as well, It's got to get pretty bad before I'll be able to convince my wife. However, I'm trying to plan out our escape plan.

Welcome! You must be hungry after the long trip. Here's a plate of beige, enjoy!
Congrats on getting out of here! Good luck on the future!
Hey, no crabs are allowed to leave this bucket!
How is the teenager taking it, apart from sleeping on luggage? With leaving behind friends and all that?

I hope y'all can relax soon. I don't regret having left the US years ago; the only hard parts are not being able to see some family much (though Skype and the like help) and certain foods that just don't exist here (less of an issue in the UK than Japan), but copycat recipes can get things close.
Your human deflated
I wish you all the best. Be sure to stock up on tea when you're settled.

Welcome, glad you could join us! And you have a pot of tea already. Hope settling in goes ok when you arrive.
I was raised on proper English tea by my British father and grandmother. However, I have more recently discovered that British tea is weak-ass shit compared to Irish tea.
Which Irish tea? I switch between Irish/Scottish breakfast teas and Yorkshire.
Also, best of luck in the UK. If you’re looking at IT related jobs, message me. My team may be hiring for Europe.

Welcome to our little grey rock. It has been a warm winter, but if it gets cold enough to snow in your area then your cultural induction to our society is to endure half of the country shutting down in a panic
Good luck to you and your family, Squid. You took action!
Good luck, mate.
Ugh ... Transatlantic train?
it's a special underwater train especially made for Squids (including Flying ones) and their families 😋
P.S. : Joke aside the title means to say that this is the 12th hour of a 15-hour trip. So this picture is inside a period of 1 hour at the end of the trip.
Best wishes to you Flying Squid 😌
Glad you got out.
Isn't the UK Distopian in other bad ways? Like insane government surveillance and monitoring

I remember seeing the post about you looking for a job there. Congrats on making it out!
Unmarried up and learned the same thing about the fancy tickets. Travel less often, and also don't hate it as much.
Good luck!
avanti
my condolences
Coming from the land of no public transportation, it was refreshing.
We have trains! At least they exist
You did it!! Good on ya.
