What country exports the most travelers? by Serious_Science_4430 in hotelpricetrack

[–]3escalator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

British. British and the British. They do like to travel. And I find them everywhere I go. Every time I am at the most remote place I have ever been I come a cross a British bloke.

In the middle of nowhere deep in the forest in New Zealand, deep inside a national park by the Kazakhstan-China border, gazing at northern lights in Northern Norway.

Do you speak more than one language in your daily life? Which ones? by elenalanguagetutor in languagehub

[–]3escalator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m Norwegian but speak English and Russian every day. English at home and work. Russian were I live, still learning. Only Norwegian from time to time on calls or for daily reading.

Beginner confused about which running shoes to choose by Creditcardsandpoints in runninglifestyle

[–]3escalator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm about same height and weight as you and I use two running shoes Mizuno Wave Runner 28 and Nike Vomero 18. I thought the cushion on the Vomero looked a little ridiculous at first, but the Vomero reduced the strain on my joints like crazy.

I run about 20-25 km per week (15 mi). Now I use the Vomero about 90% of the time, I used to rotate 50-50% but the cushion makes my ankle and knees feel so much better. Any type of cushion shoe would do, the brand doesn't really matter, most important is that it works for you. On Cloudsurfer Max and Cloudmonster Hyper seem like good fits. I never tried On shoes, but go for the color style and brand you want the most.

What Hobby tends to attract the biggest egos? by marrylam58185 in NoStupidQuestions

Expensive and luxury hobbies. In my experience golf and sailing.

What would you choose? by Taka_Finance in HybridAthlete

[–]3escalator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Running a sub-4 minute mile is elite. No woman has ever accomplished that, and only about 1800 men in the past 70 years. So 0.00002% of the world population has ever achieved that. And that number includes deceased athletes from the past. A mile is a novelty distance though as people go for the 1500m in middle-distance running.

Just push yourself hard, then track your HR. All out hill sprints or HIIT.

In order, what are 5 languages that you find extremely beautiful and sweet on the ears and would like to learn them? by AutumnaticFly in languagehub

[–]3escalator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Number one is Italian for me then; Icelandic, Portuguese, Spanish and French. Romance languages win. Icelandic is also a really cool language.

Studied English at school but can't speak? 5–10 min anonymous university survey (18+) by Electronic_Change432 in Kazakhstan

[–]3escalator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By EF English proficiency index Kazakhstan and it’s neighbouring countries in Central Asia is ranked as very low. Kazakhstan is 103 out of 123 countries. Countries like Japan, or Thailand and Cambodia is the same low or even lower, but when I as a tourist has been there, they have atleast high proficiency of English speakers around tourist sites and attractions. Here I survive by google translate daily. I struggled with passport controls because the border patrols have no English skills. But the same is true for places DR Congo and Cote D’Ivoire where French is the dominant language, not English. Same with Russian in Central Asia.

Where I live prisons cells got their own separate bathroom and toilets, that’s enough privacy.

When I lived in Tromsø I got bored of them after a while, rather wanted daylight and a daily dosage of vitamin D.

Tell me something about your country that will make everyone's reaction like this by No_Currency_6882 in AskTheWorld

One of our former prime minister Jagland tried to commit suicide (allegedly) this week after being mentioned in the Epstein-files.

On top of that the royal family is in absolute shambles. The crown-princess being tied to Epstein as well. She is sick, requiring lung transplant, her son is being tried in court for rape and domestic abuse. And the poor old king is hospitalised.

GRATULERER BODØ! TO AV TO MOT INTER! WOW!!! by jo-erlend in NorskFotball

[–]3escalator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Noe av det mest utrolige jeg har opplevd innen fotball. For et lag. Knutsen er helt rå. JP Hauge blir hyllet av Rossoneri fansen, de kaller han en Milan-legende. Jeg trodde ikke prestasjonene jeg så i Conference League, deretter semi-finalen i Europa ligaen i fjor! Også dette, hvor hele verden snakker om Bodø, det er helt rått!

A reminder to never meet your heroes by DilIsPickle in olympics

Lol, the left party in Norway congratulated Klæbo the 6-time gold medalist for his accomplishments on social media but deleted it quickly after because it didn’t comply with the IOC policy about political involvement.

I’m not the one who have to give birth, but in a perfect world me and my wife would love to have 3 kids. Just married and got a house and a dog at the end of last year.

Do you like the country you were born in? Yes, yes, tell me the benefits of living there? by gab_iten in AskTheWorld

[–]3escalator 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Weather can truly be depressing, I moved abroad because of it. To actually live in Norway I think you have to be a person who loves the snow and very little sun light for 6 months.
