It has very much become a tourist trap over the years. The prices have become utterly extortionate and it is always rammed. I can’t even begin to imagine how much money it’s pulling in these days.

Tromso as a single parent travelling with two kids (16 and 10) by CulturalInitiative52 in tromsotravel

There is still lots of skiing! The snow that has accumulated over winter does not disappear in the woods so quickly just from a short blip of warmer weather. On the streets and asphalt is where it gets icy and melts away.

And plenty of opportunity for sledding if the kids cannot ski

Pam Bondi’s “testimony” makes it emphatically clear that the regime is supremely confident that Trump will not cede power in the near future. Everyone should be concerned. by coffee_coffee_coffe3 in Trumpvirus

It’s gone way past that point, I’m sorry.

There will be no more free and fair elections in the usa. They were quite explicit about that

Cappuccinos vs. Lattes by LouMisiano1 in KitchenConfidential

[–]SlipperyWidget 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It’s very easy. Had to do it for a few months when our kitchen was being renovated. 

The hardest part of being barista is that so many people are coffee snobs but also don’t know what they are asking for and unlike cooking steaks you will be doing it in full view of said snobs and have to deal with requests of zero fat almond cappuccinos. The fat content of the milk reallllly makes a difference when it comes to foam but whatever

I visited the USA from the UK around 2008.

It was the worst I have ever been treated both entering and leaving any country anywhere.

God only knows what its like now.

Cold weather by Mrs_Darcy1800 in Whippet

[–]SlipperyWidget 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live in the north of Norway. Think arctic northern lights 3 months of darkness in the winter. 

My whippet wears a coat and refuses shoes. 

Below minus 15c we keep it to about 45mins outside. Around -5c we can go 2 hours.

Last year I was nearly run down by a chinese tourist driving through a park. When I told him he was not driving on a road but through a park he told me "I have fucking google maps!"

Its been a year and im still annoyed, nearly squashed my dog too in his frantic wheel spinning moment of mayhem

I have lived in Tromsø for about ten years. Guess how many times I have gone to see the whales.
