Also, the first class tickets for the train were totally worth it.

Welcome to the UK. And if anyone asks, you ain't seen me, right?

Oh wow congratulations. All the best from us left behind! I can't imagine the undertaking to get out and give everyone who has ever emigrated props.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

I wish I could take everyone with me!

I just took a look at your post history to see the origin story to this, seems to me you ARE Lemmy?! Every other post I saw seems to be from you...

Welcome to the UK :)

[–] NegativeLookBehind@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago

Glad you got out.

[–] ChaoticCookie@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 week ago

Congrats on getting out of here! Good luck on the future!

Ugh ... Transatlantic train?

[–] A_A@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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 😌

I remember seeing the post about you looking for a job there. Congrats on making it out!

[–] tiredofsametab@fedia.io 11 points 1 week ago

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.

I wish you all the best. Be sure to stock up on tea when you're settled.

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 10 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

The UK just gained several precious people. Good for them!

Lemmy will be okay if you don't keep posting as much as you've been. Do whatever you need to do to set your family up there.

[–] wide_eyed_stupid@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

I wish you the best here across the pond. ;)

Welcome to Europe! I moved to Germany almost 20 years ago, and holy batflaps am I happy about that choice.

Welcome! Do you have a football team already or are you going to support Bastard Rovers?

Welcome! Hopefully once you're settled you'll be able to find a local pub that does a good sunday roast

Someone once said that emigrating is trading one set of societal issues for another. If you’re happy with the trade, awesome.

Good luck in your new homeland.
