What happens here?
>>199178921Volcanoes
>>199178921impossible to suffer
>>199179004thisgod I wish I lived on an insanely remote island with just a few dozen of other people and near zero outside contact
>>199179004>>199179594>tourist brochures are real lifeDelusional. T.actually lived there for a while
>>199179953where and why?
>tfw no mermaid gf
>>199179986Right in the middle because of my family and later work>whyDaily dog attacks, everything is extremely expensive, you arent really allowed to own anything unless you know someone, no jobs etc
>>199179004>drowns due to rising sea levelsheh
>>199180377>>rising sea levelsAnyday now!
Sunburn
>>199180404they're gone by 2050
>>199180230Are you that anon from French polynesia?
>>199180230Spent the better part of a year on campbell island, people take for granted just how fucking boring an island can be without internet
>>199180507Yea
>>199180527Go surf, poof. Unless it has dangerous tides, fauna or dangerous topography like outcrops whirlpools etc.
>>199180864>Go swim in antarctic watersokay
>>199180230>Daily dog attackswhy?
>>199180976damn I would've thought the water was warmer. I guess you're right as rain about being bored to death if you can't even surf.
>>199181162Necause there are 3 times more dogs than people
>>199181162every island that a person has been to has a dog and rat infestation
>>199180377your fault btw as usual
>>199178921Paradise on thousands of remote islands.
>>199181304>>199181324why they can't just cull the dogs? And are people they really that fat?
>>199180230>Daily dog attacks, everything is extremely expensive, you arent really allowed to own anything unless you know someone, no jobs etcSounds like England
>>199181304What are the gun laws like in France? Could you get a shotgun for hunting and just shoot them?
>>199181433You cant a expect a population of 100 third worlders to look after an island, and yes they are very fat
>>199180230Damn I always unironically thought French Polynesia was a tropical paradise. Is it really that bad?
>>199181602cook islands mog tahiti
>>199178921blub blub
>>199181433I am sure its very easy to clean up 500k dogs on thousands of extremely remote islands>>199181486No you cant unless you know someone. I just usually had a machete and some stuff for pig hunting>>199181602It is>>199181649They have the same issues we do to a lesser degree. All of the pacific does
>>199181649Why
>>199178921Water
>>199181717because its not full of filthy tahitians/frogs
>>199181780Is it a good place to live?
>>199181866If youre extremely lazy and content sure why not
>>199181453kek, ia orana brother.
>>199181866If you have connections and can make enough money to live there because there are no jobs
>>199178921fishy stuff
>>199182092You just pick fruit for one season in new zealand and then live off that for the next 3 years back on your island, its what the natives do
>>199178921There are some tiny islands with hundred people living there that get supplies shipped every couple months. I have no idea what they do there or how they make their living.
>>199181978You couldn't find 2 better adjectives to desrcibe me>>199182092Thanks for the strat boss, gotta look into this
>>199182161Thanks for the strat bro gotta look into thist. responded to the wrong post
>>199182161That works because they own houses over there and frends who can sell them stuff at discounted price. I did the same there. The finnish anon isnt allowed to own real estate over there.>>199182246That was back home. One ship every month. No airport.
>>199182246Fishing and subsistence agriculture maybe? That would be my best guess
>>199182303I dont know if your finnish skin will be up to the task, you might die of melanoma in 5 years
>>199182385>not allowed to own real estate You mean the cook islands or french polynesia? And don't I have the right to buy and own real estate in french polynesia as an eu citizen? I understand that many of the local patriarchs might not want to sell though
>>199182385I stayed at a hostel in raro so theres always that option, it smells like piss and I nearly got stabbed there though
>>199182434You have no idea how much I hate the cold weather man. I've been fantasizing about moving to a tropical island for several years of my short life by now. I'll have to put my trust in the sunblock
>>199181705>I am sure its very easy to clean up 500k dogs on thousands of extremely remote islandsThe problem is that the authorities always opt for sterilization, which is expensive and totally inefficient, you operate one while ten more are popping up in the bush. Whereas it would be easy to kill 100% of the dogs and 80% of the cats in no time for a fraction of the budget.
>>199178921French nuclear tests
>>199182827Yeah sorry for having spawned Godzilla.
>>199182493In fp thats for sure. Foreigners here cant buy land. >don't I have the right to buy and own real estate in french polynesia as an eu citizenYou arentNoone goves a shit whether they are eu citizens or not. In cook thats the same i think.>>199182578Itsva tourist trap so cant say I am surprised
>>199178921dolphins and whales sex
>>199183408That's odd. When I looked it up it seems as if EU citizens can in fact buy land. Btw, do you think France will actually give them independence at some point?
>>199179004No supermarkets here, that's suffering.
i was just in fiji. it was alri. won't go back
>>199181602It is but depends of island and community, tahiti is indeed a paradise.
>>199178921Cthulhu and Captain Nemo hang out here.
>>199183408I looked it up again and it seems as though in the cook islands all foreigners need to seek permission from the local authority in order to settle there, so pretty unlikely probably. But for FP:>European citizens can purchase properties in French Polynesia just like any Polynesian or French national.International (non-European) buyers must have government authorization for all foreign investment to ensure the money is ‘clear’. I'm assuming that by European they mean EU
>>199183651Have you been there?
>>199183805It means always EEA so eu + norway and iceland
Imagine living on the pitcairn islands
>>199184261The place is rife with pedophilia and suicide
>>199183805>>European citizens can purchase properties in French Polynesia just like any Polynesian or French national.Even in some parts of mainland France it's impossible if you don't know the right people...
>>199183612have the sirs taken over yet?
>>199184312Didn't like a third of their male population get found guilty of noncing?
>>199184314But thats just because people aren't willing to sell, right?
>>199184383They aren't willing to sell to you, yes.
>>199183805>>199183569>>199183879I was in charge of the bureau that regulates the purchase of real estate and you cant purchase real estate unless you can justify that it will benefit the local economy (ie youll create a certain amount of jobs for us).Eu law does not apply to us and eu citizen are treated the same as other foreigners.Thats established local case law.
>>199184477https://www.properstar.com/french-polynesia/buyThere seems to be a decent amount of property available, even with 0 connections. And connections can be made too (of course many will simply refuse). So it looks like I will be able to buy if I simply get the money part sorted out
>>199183569>EU citizens can in fact buy landThey cant lmao. You need government authorization thats in local law>independanceNot a chance.Azerbaijana and china might finance guerillas theres and in cook though
El culo del mundo
>>199184602Those are properties advertized for french national by local agencies
>>199184557>>199184608Weird if thats the case since all of the info online seems to suggest otherwise.Well, I guess I'll find out the answer definitively when I start actively looking to buy property
>>199178921Wind blows without anybody opening their mouths. Must be heaven.
>>199184742Weird actual case law (hames v french states) says even luxembourgish nationals arent allowed to buy real estate. Maybe you should trust those instead of twitter screenshots
>>199184940-I'm not on twitter-link pls
>>199184940https://lexpol.cloud.pf/LexpolAfficheTexte.php?texte=181285
>>199184996>https://lexpol.cloud.pf › do...DOCDELIBERATION n°96-141APF du 21 novembre 1996 portant réglementationNot allowed unless you got authorization. Try else where maybe other islands in mauritius authorize it
>>199185004>>199185122Nah still gonna try fp. If it truly is not possible I will find out very quickly when I get serious about it. Appreciate it though
>>199185257Kek you wont be able to live/buy a house there. Our houses prices are ×10 if we sell them to nonresidents ie foreignershttps://www.radio1.pf/immobilier-les-frais-dachat-multiplies-par-dix-pour-les-residents-de-moins-de-10-ans/Try somewhere else unless you really want to lose money. Ask fijian anons instead.
>>199178921I lived in east timor last year. It was expensive but i had a short term contract and my own houses so it was okay. Id really like to go back but getting a job there is neigh impossible.
>>199184312...but enough about japan
>>199184742>>199184691>>199185257Can confirm, my request to buy land over there was refused, they charged me a lot more than what was originally advertised and in the end the government said i couldnt.I went to timor instead
>>199185257

>>199185880Keep in mind our regulation is the most lax. Cook and samoa only allow natives to buy.
>>199178921I was stationed on Yap Island while in the Air Force. It was comfy af and we had to go to Guam for supply runs. Guam has these enormous frogs that get flattened by cars and trucks. when they dried out we used them for frisbees.you get tired of being on an island for awhile but if you're there long enough you never want to leave.
>>199181533New Zealand is a prime example of that unironically.
>>199185855FucksakeTimor been good?
>>199186193Very. Its really poor and quite expensive compared to sea or western indonesia (eastern is quite pricy). Theres also more crime supposedly but i never had any issues, i lived on a coast and in the highlands and i liked both. People are Nice, scenery is amazing and its really quaint. Maybe ill go back there and create my company. Ill try going to africa as well first to scout for islands.
i want to visit new zealand and possibly move there but everything is so fucking far from there
>>199186382We'll take your money but please dont move here, the place is getting crowded
Do not believe the oceanians, they just want to keep the beaches and islands for themselves
>>199186333Sounds good. I'll have to look more into timor, but I have some others in mind too like mauritius in africa for example. Although I have no idea about their laws and will need to research
>>199185592I'll still test the waters but yeah doesn't look very promising especially after the Dutch anon's testimony.
>>199186836Mauritius is probably safer but more touristy. Timor was basically like papua but without the gangs.
>>199185592Holy fuck I only now read the article. I guess I'll have to be gigaloaded in order to buy in FP
>>199181425why is a place where you will die of starvation considered a paradise?
>>199179004>dies of thirst in three days
>>199187051The calling of nature. Clear skies, crystal blue waters, lush environment
>>199187051This:>>199187117Plus the warmth and the light
>>199186826Thats a black person, not an islander
>>199187335Out of curiosity, are the literally any afro people on the smaller pacific islands like Tahiti size or smaller?
>>199187335i know and that's probably somewhere in the caribbean, but i want to fuck voluptuous black women on tropical islands.
>>199187644fucked if I know, ive only been to like 2 of them
Interesting thread.How bad are the insects? This is my number 1 concern when it comes to "tropical pradises"
>>199187258>>199187117>i base my worldview on tourism ads: the posts>>199187030Thats the point. To only let government approved richfags buy and keep the market affordable for us>>199187644In melanesia yes outside no. Foreigners are beaten up here and so are muslims
>>199187711Read that as fucked like 2 of them :DDD
>>199187820>>i base my worldview on tourism ads: the postsYou're damn right I do
>>199187886Thats completely retarded. Might as well say haiti is a paradise because they have shiny tourism pictures.
>>199186382Not only is it far its also filled to the brim with jeets and muslims
>>199187933Well actually if were being honest I developed my romanticism towards pacific islands completely separate of tourism ads. And your hatred of outsiders only makes you guys far more appealing
>>199187781urchins and jellyfish should be your biggest concern
>>199187781Mosquitos, centipedes, spiders.But the most dangerous criters, deadly ones, are in the ocean.
>>199187051you don't really have to settle 1km2 micro island
>>199188162>>199188193I see, I had just assumed it would be like the amazon rainforest on land. The unique plantlife is something I think would be really cool to see, almost like going back in time to a previous age of the earth (French Polynesia)Same with Socotra, but I don't even know if you can get there safely nowadays.At least the water is so clear that if you pay attention you should be able to avoid most of the dangerous water critters, right?
>>199179594no you don't
>>199188298jellyfish are transparent and urchins look like rocks
>>199188381We have these tiny jellyfish in the baltic but they don't sting or anything.Are the urchins really that hard to spot? They stand out from what I've seen in nature docs. Stepping on one sounds hellish, I'll admit that.Personally I'd be grossed out by those huge crabs that hang off of rubbish bins and can snip your toes off (and eat birds)
>>199188298Stone fishes are invisible. Also some sea shells are venomous.
>>199180230>Daily dog attacksLmao wtf? Are they rabid or something?
>>199188504So, do you guys just tread in slippers as a precaution?Worst I've encountered have been jagged rocks and generally cold watert. Only ever been in the baltic, north sea and mediterrenian
>>199180527What were you doing there?>t. Isolation and wilderness appreciator
>>199183408Idk, seems like buying property is a thing for Europeans in Tahiti and Tahitians are butthurt about it.
we have lakshadweep. but there are p*ople there
>>199187051Nigga food literally grows on trees thereShit is free
>>199188581>So, do you guys just tread in slippers as a precaution?Mandatory (at least imo) just because of corals, they can seriously cut your feet.
>>199178921>>199179004Too isolated, sardinians too live in paradise but they still kys themselves
>>199188628I think the conclusion we came to is that it is hard, expensive and not guaranteed to work, but rich foreigners can buy there. Especially EU ones
>>199188605asbestos removal
>>199188867Ah, shit. That's a bummer.Guess I'll stick with Patagonia
>>199188813Is your guys' food good? Do you have unique cuisine or is it mostly imported?
>>199184635YOSOY
>>199189326I only know Tahiti, the local products are great, veggies, fruits, sea food, but most people just cook rice and rice again (which is imported). There are many traditional dishes though, but I rarely saw it in the everyday life.
>>199178921Future gravesite of the International Space Station, along with other space junk>KHXV
>>199189326imported stuff is expensive, you VILL eat the poly food
>>199190294Can't wait to try them honestly
>>199190323I meant more in terms of the origins of the recipes than ingredients. I will gladly eat Polynesian food :DDD
>>199179004This is where my goblin in WoW leveled up
>>199188628Europeans= french there. Because as seen above other europeans like >>199188839 arent allowed to. In tahitians the world for europeans is mostly used for frenchs even though a separate word exist
>>199180449Really? It was 2020 beforeKeep moving those goalposts
>>199188104>romanticism>appealingSo delusions. /thread. Now i start to be thankful for our restrictions on foreigners.
>>199185972>you get tired of being on an island for awhile but if you're there long enough you never want to leave.very interesting anon, care to elaborate further?
>>199190294Je sais pas ou tu vivais. C'est maa tahiti quasiment tout les dimanche chez nous.
>>199188298All of our plants have been important to the terrestrial fauna is really poor like on every isolated island.
>>199192972You weren't thankful for them beforehand?
>>199193059What's maa like?
>>199178921>What happens here?no sex, thats for sure
>>199193315No. Now with the massive influx of rotten retards from paris maybe i am. Anyway the government is kicking foreigner out at a greater pace and the new laws makes them impossible to live there.
>>199193639How do they kick people out?
>>199193059Vairao, 6 mois. Au supermaché plus haut (Taravao ?) tout le monde achetait des tonnes de riz et des cochonneries hors de prix.
>>199193715Send the police then put them in a plane. We kicked like 4 canadians a few italians and a bunch of scandis/israelis when i was working in that bureau>>199193729Pour un stage à l'ifremer?Je vivait a moz, aux australes et aux marquises et en ville quand il y a du boulot ou pour voir la familles et les amis. Normal, tu achète que le riz et la viande en supermarché. Le reste c'est bord de route ou ton jardin. Generalement on s'arrange avec les copains.
>>199194248Very nice. So are you able to do it on a whim or do you need a reason?
>>199194248>Pour un stage à l'ifremer?Non, jeune et con j'ai suivi ma copine instit. Ça a merdé et je suis rentré au fenua (limousin).Et non je te jure les gens se mettaient sur la paille pour des yaourts et des chips etc.
>>199194790Pas de travail ici les gens qui restent on soit un travail avant d'arriver soit une boite a eux. Sinon c'est quasiment impossible.C'est des denrées chères et les gens aiment bien tout ça le fast food et tout. C'était pas comme ça du temps des vieux. Les jeunes veulent manger comme les americains les casse croûtes avec mayonnaise et tout. Mais bon au moiks on continue a pêcher
