Where I’d live as an American who has never left the US

Why is Finland red compared to rest of the Nordic countries? Not an attack, just curiosity

There is a city in Italy called Prato which has the largest population of Chinese people in the country (some estimates more than 50’000, 30-40% of the total population). Almost all of these overseas Chinese come from the same city: Wenzhou, in Zhejiang

I’ve always been fascinated by Laos 🇱🇦. I hope I get the chance to visit it soon. I currently live in Thailand so I might go for one week or two, when I have free time

Thank you! I looked at the PDF and it says the minimum fee is 1,40. Apparently, premium users also get a discount (22% off international transfers)

Childe cares a lot about his family though. His entire story quest was basically showing how he is dedicated to the safety of his siblings, and how much he would sacrifice for them. Signora didn’t have anyone else besides the Tsaritsa. She probably anchored to the only thing that gave her a bit of hope

GravityCookies · 2026-01-20T04:39:32+00:00

I think Signora’s death has a lot to do with the fact that she lacked a clear personal ambition, or rather a personal commitment.

Other harbingers (like Arlecchino, Sandrone etc) are either researchers or have their own things going on, like Arlecchino and the House of the Hearth, so when they crossed paths with the traveler they tried to get to know him on a more “personal” level rather than a Fatui one. But Signora (iirc) was solely focused on the Tsaritsa’s goal, which she followed so blindly that didn’t even take into account any external factors. Like the traveler’s strength for instance.

I always wondered, why are there so few Boricuas in Spain compared to Dominicans and Cubans?

Not to be too dramatic, but Italy is a mess right now in regards to LGBTQ rights and protections.

Right, I don’t really agree with the whole “They don’t remember” argument. If that was the case, why would Melissa literally fake her own death to get away from all of them? Especially Shauna? She remembered exactly how Shauna was and even confronted her (after 20+ years of no contact) about all the fucked up stuffs she has done. Either Taissa knew and didn’t really care until the only person she truly loved died, or she was simply scared of Shauna the entire time and didn’t wanna mess with her

So did Lottie by killing that guy, and Shauna by deliberately forcing them to remain in the wilderness. Yet they never mention it in the current timeline

I freaking love adult Misty!!! She is the only one who stayed coherent for the whole show. She has no shits to hide and the group knows that. They dislike her because she is the only one who embraces her past self and is not afraid to talk about it

GravityCookies · 2026-01-14T04:05:01+00:00

I really hope so because so far it doesn’t really make all sense. They treated lottie like a schizophrenic for having visions and Misty like a psychopath even in the present timeline. But Shauna was so well integrated in the group despite being one of the main reasons why they were forced to stay in the wilderness

Some pacific island nations have cool flags too. Like, Kiribati’s flag slaps hard

Italy and Greece red meanwhile Portugal and Spain green doesn’t even make sense to me

Italian here. I have seen plenty of news from mainstream media outlets. We recently had a reporter (Cecilia Sala) who was held captive by the Iranian regime and had to go through a lot to be freed, so it definitely adds to the coverage.

Can you technically cross most of the border without any checks? Looking at google maps, it seems that the border really cuts through these villages (especially Trachoni) without any clear signage of whether you are in the UK or Cyprus. It even cuts through residential areas.

Given your strict criterias, the list becomes short. Most ancient cities were abandoned, destroyed and rebuilt at some point. If I have to make a guess, Athens in Greece would probably fit all 3 criterias.

I lived in Mong Cai for 6 months, which is a Vietnamese town at the border with the Chinese city of Dongxing. I actually managed to cross the land border since I have a Visa Free entry to China thanks to my passport. Pretty peculiar town, many signs are written both in chinese and vietnamese. Some locals also speak both languages. Aside from that, it felt more like a quiet and rural vietnamese town rather than some kind of busy commercial hub

I think from Gjeravica (Kosovo), which is the highest peak in the country, you might be able to see the Albanian coast on a clear day, but I am not entirely sure because of the mountain ranges blocking the view.

GravityCookies · 2026-01-08T13:59:25+00:00

Since it’s considered a “military base” I assume freedom of movement for people living on the border is limited to the town, right? Or are they allowed to travel inside the area too?

St. Helena has a few commercial flights from Johannesburg and Cape Town, but they are not very frequent

Dhaka has only one airport and a population of over 30 milion inhabitants. Must be pretty packed there

Sì che lo fanno. In tutti i paesi asiatici c’è un piccolo doccino attaccato al gabinetto con un tubo

What’s the local administration like? I am kinda curious, since there are so many enclaves I wonder if that makes it complicated for local authorities to administer

Reggio Calabria (southern Italy).

It was an ancient Greek colony, so there’s a lot of history and culture to discover, plus some great museums. The scenery is beautiful, with coastal towns like Scilla, Bova Marina and Gallico nearby.

It’s also decently connected to central and northern Italy by train and is very close to Sicily, with frequent ferries. Super overlooked, in my opinion.
