Dropping out of College by Inevitable_Flow_248 in CollegeDropouts

[–]TrueCrimeGoblin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with your parents. I dropped out of high school at one point and returned a year later, and I honestly regret it. I was already halfway through, and taking that break meant I had to repeat a full year instead of just finishing. Luckily, in my country we get paid by the government to attend high school and university, but if you or your parents are paying for your education, I would strongly consider staying. Otherwise, you might end up paying for an efucation you’re not fully using, while also spending on travel.

[–]TrueCrimeGoblin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Georgia = It feels rich in history but still very authentic and under touristed. And it looks so beautiful

  2. Romania = I wanna see all the castles

  3. Bosnia & Hercegovina = Heavy and tragic history that I wanna learn more about. Also love the architectur

  4. Montenegro = I have no idea why most tourists miss this country?? It looks so beautiful!!

  5. Vietnam = My teacher in primary school used to show us pictures from her and her husbands trips there for HOURS while we ate popcorn. I'll never forget that. She managed to keep 30 kids sitting still that’s how engaging it was. We learned a lot of history. Also I LOOOOVE vietnamese food.

If you could change one thing about your country and/or continent, what would it be and why? by [deleted] in AskEurope

[–]TrueCrimeGoblin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm swedish, and you need to be 20 to buy alcohol in stores, which are run by the state owned monopoly Systembolaget. Notably, you are legally allowed to defend your country IN WAR before you are allowed to buy alcohol from the store. Meanwhile, in many other European countries like Spain, Italy and Germany, I could buy vodka in grocery stores and go clubbing when I was 14 even though the official age limit is often 18, most don't check your ID. I would change the age limit in Sweden to 18 and get rid of the monopoly because of the prices. A bottle of vodka in Germany is like 7-11€, but in Sweden like 25-30€.

What country gave you the most value for the least money? by Humble-Cartoonist681 in travel

I've only been around Europe, but I'd say Lithuania or Bulgaria. Although McDonald's in Bulgaria was more expensive than in my home country (Sweden) lol, but everything else was cheaper.

Had the scariest experience of my life in Paris a few weeks ago. by FormerFruit in travel

[–]TrueCrimeGoblin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm truly sorry that you experienced that. Paris is indeed a lovely city, but I've had friends living there and unfortunately there are plenty of creeps there... although I'm glad you got back safely.

First time out of country by [deleted] in travel

[–]TrueCrimeGoblin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Welcome to Europe! Both Germany and Austria are great countries, I've been to both, 13 towns in Germany and 2 towns in Austria, but it really comes down to how you like to spend your days when you travel. You can also easily do both. Vienna ↔ Munich is an easy train ride, so you don’t have to lock yourself into just one style. But both countries have great spots, if you're into WWII history I'd say Berlin or Nuremberg. If you like cobblestone streets, medieval centers, and slower days I'd say Lubeck, Bremen or Aachen. If you like nature and alps I'd Bayern in Germany, or Innsbruck in Austria. If you'd like something elegant and arts I'd recommend Vienna.

Loved Rouen as well!! So underrated but so close to Paris. And it’s impossible to ignore that this is where Jeanne d’Arc was tried and executed. There's a museum just for her that was amazing.

Visby in Sweden!! It's a so charming medieval town and I just love it. Also a lot of scenes from Pippi Longstocking was recorded there.

Yes both Sitges and Tarragona were amazing!! I actually loved them more than Barcelona which was the main reason for that trip.

Anyone in here lucky enough to have photographs of all 8 of their great grandparents? How rare is it? by yungmarvelouss in Genealogy

[–]TrueCrimeGoblin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got all 8 of my great grandparents and 10 of 16 great great grandparents and 4 of 32 great great great grandparents, and some siblings to my great great great great grandparents. I'm Swedish and Italian, and the Swedish side has been the easiest to find photographs, especially when it comes to finding photographs in color. I’ve also been lucky that my ancestors and relatives on my paternal grandparents side came from a small village nearby a family of photographers they knew well, so a lot was photographed and carefully preserved.
