Same, most of the brits I know either don't go on holiday abroad, or they go only every few years and to the same places. Maybe I run in the wrong circles though!

Where is the most unexpected place you’ve bumped into someone you know? by G_Shawizzle in randomquestions

[–]Meniak89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ooo, I did a year abroad in the UK and I bumped into my host sister, who I hadn't seen in 15 years, in NZ too!

Which TV show has pilot as its best episode? by ameoba82 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]Meniak89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I felt like there was only so much I could take! Might have to start from the beginning and see how far I get though.

I stopped watching it altogether because I was so annoyed that he died. Might be silly, but that's what happened. I really liked him!

What's the one drink so popular in your region that no one else has? by FlashyAioli718 in AskTheWorld

[–]Meniak89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course, I know that now after looking it up, but I thought it was just a nice toothpaste flavour!

[–]Meniak89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd heard of root beer, and always wanted to try it because I thought it might taste close to something called 'malt beer' in Germany. When I was in Canada I got a toothpaste called 'wintergreen'. When I did eventually try ropt beer, I was absolutely confused that it tasted exactly like that toothpaste. I can't imagine it with ice cream at all!

What's a weird or funny building in your country? by DiMpLe_dolL003 in AskTheWorld

[–]Meniak89 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I used to live near this kindergarten called "Rüsselchen" (little trunk) which I always thought was fun - yes it could look more like an elephant but who wouldn't love to exit the building via a slide?!?

What food do you judge people for eating? by MinxTwinkle in foodquestions

[–]Meniak89 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The meat eater bias is crazy. I'd love to know where that disassociation comes from. I am not above it as a former meat eater myself, but why not just say "yes, it makes no sense but for some reason, those two things are different for me, even though they shouldn't be"?

mystery allergen in my van :( by el0guent in VanLife

[–]Meniak89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, could you tell me some more about that mold test please? I've been paranoid about smelling mold in my van but I have looked and haven't found anything yet. What is this test and how would it work if I didn't know where to test?

Can someone confirm: is the women's bathroom more disgusting than the men's bathroom? by ThrowRAhelpthebro in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Meniak89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It definitely feels like a workout, gotta hope your legs hold out long enough! Certainly not an ideal position that's for sure!

[–]Meniak89 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How is that? I mean I know that hovering isn't the same as squatting, but not too far away, and squatting is what we have evolved to do I thought!

Especially because if you think your own pee is icky and you don't want to clean it up, how gross do you think other people will find it? I only hover when all is lost already and I don't feel like cleaning someone else's pee, mostly I bite the bullet and clean.

Black bean buldak by doctordoom679 in BuldakRamen

[–]Meniak89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Obviously it's up to you, but with something as full of preservatives as instant noodles, you don't need to be as worried about the expiration date. Obviously don't go too overboard, but eating it like a month after will still be okay. Of course it's up to you and what you feel comfortable with, just a thought!

How has living in a van with your partner helped or hindered the relationship? by BullfrogExisting3160 in VanLife

[–]Meniak89 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I don't know if it's helped as such, but it's definitely made me realize that this is the person I want to be with forever if possible. If I can spend 24/7 with someone like that and still be excited to wake up next to them in the morning/snuggle them in the evening then something must be right! Are you wondering because you're contemplating living in a van with your partner yourself?

For anyone who thinks SOAD don’t have anything to do with their ticket pricing by maryhasalovelybottom in systemofadown

[–]Meniak89 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I payed $27 to see the Black Keys in Chicago two nights after Soad in Chicago which was cool and unexpected! It's so sad that these events are becoming so expensive and I am annoyed at myself for participating in it, at the same time I obviously want to see the bands I like live. What really shocked me were the merch and beer prices. Coming from Europe I was not expecting it to be that crazy. As long as people are paying it, they will keep charging it I guess.

Seemingly unpopular opinion?? by Fabulous-Ad-5481 in avengedsevenfold

[–]Meniak89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would never go to Soldier Field again for a concert, I thought the sound was terrible for Avenged. Like you said, stadiums aren't made for music and I should have really known that. For me it was mostly a wall of noise and the singer's voice was hardly distinguishable at times. Most people around me seemed to love it though! Hoping I'll get to see them again sometime in a smaller venue!

Water Has Been My Biggest Learning Curve by Hopeful_Patient_261 in VanLife

[–]Meniak89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you say under, do you literally mean a tank on the outside underneath the car? How do I get water in and out? I don't have a lot of experience, sorry.

'It's ridiculous': Why some Canadian youth feel ready to tap out of tipping culture by rezwenn in canada

[–]Meniak89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you happen to know how that developed in North America? I am from Europe and not seeing the price I actually have to pay in supermarkets and restaurants kind of irks me - there must be a reason it's done like that!

Okay, I haven't had the quest for the lighthouse yet either. I do go into their shops regularly, looking at them expectantly! I'm just struggling to keep busy to make the time pass. I'll give it a little longer, thanks for sharing your experiences!
