[Shadow.97]

Well, I don't know if we should talk about money. Some users like shadow.97 and Vasudev, who have little money, might be jealous. But for this price I really hesitated because it's actually pretty cheap. I sold it because I didn't know if I was going to use it, but I really like the place here. I have even lived here and it's pretty cool.

Don't assume that Shadow.97, Vasudev et al are low on money. Shadow has a great job in Dublin. In fact his job some sort of involves some sort of security clearance. I clearly recall he told us there are aspects about it he wasn't free to discuss. Add to this the fact that he is totally self sufficient financially. Vasudev is an engineer, or will soon be. He has a great laptop and possibly a desktop. While it's true that engineers in the USA and Europe are paid more, rest assured Vasu doesn't have to worry about his next meal.

With respect to talking about money, what should remain confidential is how of it each of us makes. The cost of a property or the expenses accrued by living there aren't exactly top secret.

I'm pretty open about my finances. I've managed to save around 70k euros, and have a large purchasing power due to family willing to step in. If I really wanted a specific place.
My goal is to buy a place next year. Depending on if I can find a job or not somewhere else.
Not looking forward to buying anything here.

My budget/aim is likely to buy a 2 room, 60 sqm for 160k euro.

I currently have approx 12sqm livingspace + 2 sqm bathroom. It's a bit crammed. Around 2.5x4.8m. + 2x1m


Also, Vasudev, if you want to move to Europe. I think you'd be classified as a 'critical skill worker' and would have no issues getting an Irish Work Visa here.

Well, you're probably right. You can delete this message, your message and modify my message if you want, since I was obviously mistaken.

I congratulate you. You are extremely resourceful. With respect to your job, I realize there are things you're not at liberty to discuss. May I ask: aproximately what do you do for a living? Did you say once it had something to do with air traffic control, or did I misunderstand?

If you're planning to live by yourself it's more than enough room. Not only that, but you've got enough space to be able to accomodate someone else at a future date -- a lady perhaps. Would your home be located in Växjö or somewhere else? If you continue to save as you're doing you might even be able to pay cash for your home and avoid mortgage interest.

Vasudev: Why not consider Shadow's offer? You deserve much more than an Indian salary. By this I assume you'd make much more in Europe than what you're making now. By all means correct me if I'm wrong.

You can see my car on the left. The engine is almost dead (there is a leaking head gasket) but it still runs and my dad liked it so I keep it.

I sent you a mail to the address we've previously had mail conversations on



We should all have a group video call one day. Would be fun.

Here are some photos taken in Le Grau du roi











On this photo you can see the old Grau-du-Roi lighthouse which was built in 1828 at the entrance to the canal. At the time, it was the entrance lighthouse to the port of Aigues-Mortes. Too remote and badly placed, it was replaced in 1869 by the Espiguette lighthouse, which is still in operation. But it remained inhabited until the 1970s.
For a long time, Grau-du-Roi was only a district of Aigues-Mortes and it was not until 1879 that the Graulenne city was created as such. However, the two municipalities are still connected to each other by this canal which crosses the city center of Grau-du-Roi and which ends up flowing into the Mediterranean Sea between two large dikes at the end of which are two little lighthouses, a red one and a green one.. you can see them on the second photo.

Some fishing boats in the Grau du roi




Here you can see the canal of the Grau du Roi.
At the end of the 16th century, a torrent of the Rhône River opened up a breach (called a grau) in the coastal barrier. This channel was called “Grau Henri” then “Grau du Roi” after the king Henri IV reinforced it by having two stone breakwaters built to protect it from silting. In the 18th century a channel was opened, leading from this sole maritime gateway in the department of the Gard to Aigues-Mortes. The town of Grau du Roi developed around this canal. The main activity became fishing.
Since, the town has raised itself to the rank of second biggest French fishing port on the Mediterranean. In the Old Port you can still soak in the charm of the trawlers chugging in by way of the swing bridge, the fish market and the quays strewn with nets and bordered by restaurants with picturesque façades.


Here you can see the harbor master of Port Camargue



Here you can see a marina in Port Camargue.
The construction of Port-Camargue, reclaimed from the sea between 1967 and 1985, gave Grau du Roi a marina that is today the most important in Europe. The port resembles a monumental reef of quays from which grows a maze-like mass of shops and luxury apartments, all with their own mooring berths.
