RE: Freelancing and Socializing in Nigeria - Untangled Knots #1

in Cross Culture4 years ago (edited)

This is really crossculture. Finally had time to watch and listen. It's was a long one. @josediccus has a way of starting slow and entering a groove later on. He is very serious when illustrating. It would take a few minutes to notice that he is a funny guy.

@selfhelp4trolls, now you know more about Nigeria, the struggles. I believe this conversation will make you understand why alot of Nigerians are grateful about Hive. In here, there is so much opportunity. First, it takes your mind away from the struggles of the country and then it gives you a different perspective to live.

Hive also provides financial assistance to us. Unlike in Japan where the cost of living is high. Here, you can survive everyday with $4-10. On hive, that can be gotten with the right hardwork.

I enjoyed every bit of this, I hope to see other episodes too. I'm really glad you started this and I hope you don't stop my friend.

It's easy to imagine some things, especially having traveled enough, but then sometimes I hear little details that really fill out my understanding. Like knowing that unlimited wifi is generally something only companies pay for. Also it's easy to imagine that food and drinks and rent are much cheaper than in Japan or the US, but then some luxury items are almost the same price, or at least much closer, phone and wifi included.

I'm always surprised by the price of things. Sometimes it's really strange. In Japan entertainment (concerts, movies, festivals, eating out, alcohol etc) is almost double the cost of the US, but home items and other goods are way way cheaper (silverware, school supplies, house cleaning items etc.). Meanwhile vegetables are way more expensive. Used goods that are abundant are really cheap, especially books and games, but used cloths are almost the same price as new cloths. Very surprising differences.

I’m gonna watch the rest of your podcast episodes that I missed this week or next! You are leading the way. I hope to see more stuff like this at hive, though I’m thinking I should separate it into shorter videos.
