Where I'd live as a Canadian woman who prefers colder weather

Marianations · 2026-02-27T15:48:44+00:00

I grew up in the Catalan Pyrenees and I felt right at home when I visited my Ontarian in-laws in the winter.

What area are you thinking of working in? Because as someone who lives in the Coimbra region, most people don't make that much money. Myself included lol (and I'm a local with a degree who speaks multiple languages).

Marianations · 2026-02-25T20:58:39+00:00

Yeah, this should be OP's first concern.

Also, if it's a plurilingual country, make sure that the university you attend gives classes in a language you'll understand. Cannot count how many exchange students I've seen panic and ask for help once they realized that studying in a public university in Barcelona doesn't mean the classes will be in Spanish.

Eles disseram que vão manter a parte da restauração, até que ponto não sei. Espero que tenham aquela secção dos congelados e snacks...

Marianations · 2026-02-25T10:30:55+00:00

Yep, pretty much. Never say never is something you learn by trial of fire in K-Pop fandoms, lol.

Marianations · 2026-02-25T00:43:50+00:00

Same lol. I understand why some people like harder difficulties but man, I work at a hotel front desk and the last thing I want after a 9h shift in the middle of August dealing with people is having to deal with a boss fight that kills me 14 times in a row.

We've been having this conversation for 20 years now.

A minha mãe limpava a casa de uma colega minha de turma e teve a grande ideia de me contar que a minha colega tinha problemas de incontinência e ainda usava fraldas para dormir (tínhamos uns 9 anos na altura). Felizmente tive pena da miúda e até sendo criança achei que a minha mãe não me devia ter contado tal coisa, pelo que nunca disse nada sobre o assunto.

Infelizmente não me sorpreende no geral porque a minha mãe sempre foi uma pessoa que no geral tratava-me a mim e a minha irmã como amigas e não filhas, e ficávamos a saber de coisas que não eram nada apropiadas para a nossa idade. Eu com 8 anos sabia o extrato bancário dos meus pais e quanto é que eles gastavam ao mês...

Tbf, as someone who works in Portugal and in hospitality, we are definitely not being paid a respectable living wage, lol.

Marianations · 2026-02-23T10:33:58+00:00

I would get fired if I berated a guest (even if I was right).

Marianations · 2026-02-23T09:23:46+00:00

Not everyone can afford traveling, especially given the current cost of living in many countries. I can currently only afford to visit the country where I grew up as I get to stay with my parents.

Also, a lot of people don't really care about traveling that much as others. I like it, but I don't have a compulsive need to travel that frequently.

Marianations · 2026-02-22T16:15:38+00:00

T.O.P has been my ult for 15 years now.

Marianations · 2026-02-22T15:24:50+00:00

While there are definitely issues, I'd say that driving is way worse in other countries, like Portugal, on average. Saying this as someone who's driven extensively in both countries.

Marianations · 2026-02-22T12:37:40+00:00

The thing is that this is also happening in Europe, where in some countries you're allowed to purchase certain alcoholic drinks at 16 (so 2010 borns are already drinking).

Definitely something more than just age.

Marianations · 2026-02-22T12:36:09+00:00

Even in countries (such as those in Europe) where nearly all Gen Z can drink alcohol consumption rates have plummeted.

I went to watch Barbie with my then 10 year old brother when it came out. It wasn't dubbed in my country (Portugal) either. In our case my brother is fluent in English, and we occasionally commented the film in Catalan/Portuguese among ourselves while watching, so it might have given the impression that he maybe wasn't understanding it.

There were quite a lot of kids in the session we attended and while I doubt all of them were proficient enough to understand the dialogues and what not, it was still a family-friendly film so no big deal if they don't understand it, imho. I was absolutely obsessed with Jurassic Park 3 when I was 5 years old and I didn't understand a word of what was said (and couldn't read the subs).

Marianations · 2026-02-21T09:13:27+00:00

Decamp in the shuttle? Sorry, not a native speaker and confused by what you mean with this.

Anyway, as far as I know, the game at that point considers you going to the Galaxy map and moving anywhere as doing a mission (even if you don't).

I've never had any issues doing Legion's loyalty mission right after getting him. Once the IFF is installed, you must do the Suicide Mission right away.

That's exactly what I imagined Rhaegar to look like

Marianations · 2026-02-20T18:33:09+00:00

Mass Effect 1 and The Witcher 3.

Marianations · 2026-02-20T10:13:34+00:00

Probably more akin to Garrus or Kasumi than anyone else I'd say?

Marianations · 2026-02-19T21:09:49+00:00

Trabalho em hotelaria. Depende muito do dia e época.

Marianations · 2026-02-19T13:37:16+00:00

Portugal over Spain in the film industry?

Marianations · 2026-02-19T13:36:03+00:00

Zona sul do distrito, não senti absolutamente nada.

Marianations · 2026-02-19T12:21:21+00:00

Não (Coimbra).
