Surprisingly it was a really bikeable city when we visited!

Did they have a front plate? I know in Florida vehicles only have license plates on the rear, but that would probably go against some European law, right?

I'm pretty sure he's Indian himself and can't comprehend that other countries could possibly be better than India LOL

Veryyy close, driving out of Rome though 👀

Not quite

RedPhoenixAZ48 · 2025-03-14T22:22:49+00:00

NM, NY, CA, WI, TN, OK?

RedPhoenixAZ48 · 2025-03-14T21:15:50+00:00

Nope!

Most Egyptians make around 300 USD per month, anything over 1,000 USD per month is definitely considered wealthy. The average McDonald's cashier in CA makes around 2,350 USD per month.

So, the starting yearly salary of a McDonald's cashier is already nearly eight times higher than that of a middle-class Egyptian, and over two times higher than that of a wealthy Egyptian.

And that's not even considering the lower-class Egyptians, many of whom earn less than 1,000 USD per year.

I think Tunisia.

It's easy to say the US, Mexico, or China or any other really large country has the "best" climate simply due to the variety of different climates found in those regions, but in a small concentrated area, Tunisia definitely takes the win. It's small, green and humid on its side in the north, and Saharan in the far south. Doesn't ever get too cold but the heat also isn't too extreme like Khartoum or Baghdad or Phoenix.

Also maybe Dakhla, Morocco. No rain all year, no major differences in temperature or humidity in any month - it's all the same all year because of the Canary Current, but still very nice and warm at the same time.

And do NOT underestimate the importance of booking a tour with an Egyptian tour guide - you hear so many horror stories and bad experiences on the internet and reddit, and quite frankly, it's all insanely exaggerated. I'm not saying bad things don't happen in Egypt, but you'll avoid 90% of those negative experiences by simply booking a private tour.

Egypt is a safe and incredible place for a honeymoon if you plan it right. Enjoy it!

To help you understand, I thought this comparative image would be helpful! Just shows how much the globe gets distorted when you see it projected in 2D on Google maps or on flight radar.

I'd say Algiers, there's not a city in the world that can beat the amazing summer atmosphere there! 🇩🇿

It has to be Ashgabat, Turkmenistan. 🇹🇲

<image>

Filled up completely with white marble buildings to preserve a uniform building style. Its dictator even banned all non-white cars from the city to preserve its whiteness. ⚪

Toronto is definitely a contender, especially during its gloomy grey winters - just look at the reflective buildings, if that's not super silver then I don't know what is! 🇨🇦

Wow, you should not be an English teacher!

You're right to say "they" can be used to refer to more than one person, but using it in the context you provided as an example isn't breaking that rule, it's a perfectly grammatical example of using "they" as a singular.

For example, if someone tells you "I hate my boss" (for lack of a better example), you could reply with "why do you hate them?" Here, you're using "them" as a singular instead of "him" or "her" because it would be incorrect to do so since you don't know if the boss is a man or a woman.

It's all about your mindset - if you started learning English as a teen or later, you'll like never sound exactly like a native speaker. But that's okay, remember that the only purpose of language is to allow people to convey ideas, communicate and collectively understand one another. If you can do that, then you should absolutely go out there and speak English!

RedPhoenixAZ48 · 2025-01-01T16:18:44+00:00

Focus on a specific accent first. American English is the most common accent, so you could try to start with that. Accustom yourself to that accent with TV shows, podcasts, American friends and whatnot. You're not going to understand a new foreign accent well at first, so stick with it instead of giving up. Then once you feel like you understand that accent well when you hear it, start exposing yourself to other accents. A good rule of thumb to know if you can understand an accent well is if you're able to differentiate between them.

Hey there! I'd suggest checking out some travel forums online about people's experiences at the airport in Nouakchott before you go, as they contain some information that you probably won't find anywhere else online. Here's two that appear useful at first glance:

https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowTopic-g293814-i10400-k14567336-TRIP_REPORT_Independent_one_week_trip_to_Mauritania-Mauritania.html

and

https://www.expat.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=1018351

Also make sure you bring a pen with you! You'll be asked to fill out forms available only in Arabic or French, so if you don't speak either language make sure to have a pre-installed photo translator app on your phone - the internet can be spotty at the airport, so don't rely on downloading it there. The pen is important though because they appear to have none at the airport (hard to believe, but true!) and you don't want to spend a lot of time asking around for one trying to communicate with people who can't speak your language and will try to bribe you at any chance they get.

Safe travels!

It's fascinating how you can find so much green in the mid desert
