speaking of things costing lots in the EU I think it possible that Dublin is almost more expensive than London, having gone there last weekend and having spent 12 euros for a large stuffed potato (it was dammed tasty I will admit)
Why someone would ever visit Ireland when England is right next door always baffles me.
I went there with my high school once and everyone kept thinking my friend was a local. He really didn't leave much of a lasting impression on his classmates, I suppose. o_O

I take after my Dutch side lookswise. then I was also wearing olive-colored boots and a oliver colored jacket so I guess that made me blend pretty well.

I must say that my pal does look like an Eastern European. :P
My father always gets confused for a local when we're in southern or eastern Europe, but that's because he has black hair and a tan. I'm not sure I have ever been confused for anything other than Dutch.

I live in London, which is also next to England, or so I've been told.

Flying shit on a biscuit. Fucking LISP quiz fucking 4% of my grade is gone because I couldn't remember if cadr meant "(car( cdr x))" or "(cdr (car x))".
London is nice. Its a really good place to be a migrant as everyone else seems to be the same, or the children of migrants so I at least have not really encountered any bad vibes.
Well, lets see... I can drive for about three hours to the west and *fwoosh* I'm in France.
If the typical US citizen drives three hours west, he's maybe in another state, but still in the US.
Ok, worst case he's drowing in the ocean, but still.

You should've known better.
I'll give you better nature Aldo, but prettier girls and cities? I think the only way to express how comical that statement is would be about three pages of posts consisting of hahahaha.

I like my country. There's a lot of geological and social diversity so that most states at least are slightly interesting.
Except the mid-west (where I may be being paid to go to law school).
I make poutine myself all the time, I don't see why I can't do that there.
Haps you don't want me do you.
If you bring poutine along... :P

I'm happy living in the US, and I like that I can travel so easily here, I just wish it were easier to go to other countries. I mean travelling from france to wherever else in europe is cake, but getting a flight from the US to france is going to break me, as where I can get to california and back, with hotel, for about $500
Is it just me, or do I not get the point of the Left Behind books?
I mean, the rapture is nigh. It's blindingly obvious there is a god and a satan, and christianity is the right religious choice. Furthermore, now you're positive there's an afterlife, and a war against the followers of satan is now totally just.
Is this not in fact transforming Earth into the most awesome deathmatch you want to die in before it gets all boring and peaceful under jesus?

Many of the states/regions have distinct enough cultures that it's almost like being in another country
Oh and on the girl thing (which is not really just about girls, feel free to exchange "girl" with "boy"):
I would have a really, really, really hard time to identify where a girl's coming from. An Irish and a British girl standing next to each other? Here? I'd think they're German (well, as long as they don't talk).

I was looking at Expedia.com the other week and I saw a return flight to London from LA for about $550US (for February, which is high season) which may well be a normal price if you book in advance.

Well I went 2 years ago, but that isnt much of a difference I guess.
I found it funny how soda drinks were more expensive in restuarants then beer.

I do have some friends there, but their religious and political majorities are creeping me out.
And there's that whole "Ireland has beautiful nature, awesome cities and you can pay with euros" part, of course.

*edit: it's the clogs, isn't it?
I'm truly sorry, Zen.
the rising sun shows us the path to forever!
That's one of the few things I don't really like about american culture. We're not big on the travel like a lot of Europeans are.
I live in London, which is also next to England, or so I've been told.
But I like little boys!
I think my uncle wants to take me to Italy next.

Like, really badly.
I was originally supposed to intern at the House of Commons for a semester but it would just cost WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY too much money.
@dura: Sorry bro.

It's not like we add a lil something special that is only found in Canada.

I make awesome Mexican.

I had duck poutine the other day
it was made with fries cooked in duck fat, covered in cheese and duck gravy with little bits of duck meat.
it was too rich to finish
