Re: Living in the Minnesota

--How would you describe life in the Minnesota?

COLD. Badly dressed. Insular. Fabulous biking trails.

--Has it been complicated to settle down, to find a job, and an accomodation?

I came here with my job, but it was easy getting accommodation, rent was affordable, houses are cheap, cost of living is low.  It was impossible dealing with call centres though, as nobody understands a foreign accent, and I'm a native English speaker!

--Is it complicated to make friends in the Minnesota?

Not complicated, but difficult. Everybody marries their childhood sweetheart, pops out the kids, hangs out with their old school buddies, lives 5 miles from their parents and sees no reason to make any new friends.  Best bet is to go with other transplants.

--What would you recommend to people who would like to live in the Minnesota?

Visit in winter first, and make sure you like snow and ice.  Don't come along, bring your family so you have people to talk to.  Enjoy bland food.  Wear lots of sweatpants.
