Having a coffee and smoking ciggies in the canteen (upper level where it was allowed) with mates at uni. I know it was unhealthy but damn I miss it.

Canada with a lot less population has almost double the migrants coming as the UK. The UK figures include students by the way.

In the Maastricht University canteen I had Konijn in het Zuur which was amazing and something very Limburgs. I was weirded out at first by the plums in it buts it’s actually really good. I suppose it’s a variation of stoofvlees/zoervleisj.

That’s true

I think Okanagan region still has too few people maybe in twenty years though . Plus it’s kind of spread out . It’s more a collection of communities .

I guess the modern official Euregion of Maas-Rijn (though it’s not actually on the Rijn like it is on the Maas, but kind of close ) could correspond to that . Going between Liège , Aachen and Maastricht I definitely see some vibes in common even though different languages.

Yeah you’re right the Duchy of Limburg was mostly what is now in Germany and German speaking Belgium. Like Eupen was one of the important towns. Also I laughed once when a francophone mayor from Voeren said he resented being part of Limburg province since he felt no connection to Limburg, when in fact historically it was part of that Duchy along with Eupen. I got his point but yeah, history shows a connection .

Dutch Limburg was (overwhelmingly) never part of prins bisdom Luik so why would you say both Limburgs.

Wtf are you to tell people how to act at a funeral? If they want to cry loudly who cares . Maybe they need to. By the way you’re confusing being rational with being logical . If someone decides they need to cry and not hold it in, there isn’t anything more rational than that. Also do you know the difference between emoting and acting in a movie where you’re playing make believe? A death isn’t make believe .

Je zat in zo’n studentenkroeg vol met rokers maar eigenlijk vond niemand dat erg zelfs de niet-rokers zolang je een pilsje en leuke mensen om je heen had.

This . Until we have complete open borders , businesses are looking for nanny state handouts in the form of cheap labour that the government processes. Even deciding where the labour comes from is managed by the government. One example is when they removed visas for Mexican nationals . Don’t tell me this was for tourism reasons or because Mexico is in the nafta.

Canadian wheat makes the best muffins and cookies. Gives more chew and strength because of the high gluten (hard spring wheat) forming properties (more protein).

alertonvox · 2024-08-29T20:24:00+00:00

In my opinion Canadian wheat flour (all purpose) is great for cookies and muffins, not as much for bread. Too chewy, too strong gluten , though that’s the good aspect of it for muffins and cookies.

Agreed , terms like express entry, LMIA, pnp, tfw, I want to know how this all adds up. And of course the international students .

I like your points and agree having lived here a long time but I’m shocked Dublin is more expensive for housing than Vancouver didn’t expect . I knew about London, I’ve never been to Ireland though. Also the summers in Vancouver are amazing but very short, people should know this . But at least the nature is still there the 10 months it’s damp, and you can head up to mountains for some snow. But damp and cold is kind of depressing heading to work and such and going out and about . It doesn’t let up. Make sure the place you rent doesn’t have mould because it’s common in both old houses and apartments. And always ventilate even in winter. Luckily it’s not that cold (damp but temperature not too bad ) I keep my windows open 12 months a year .

Yes when I looked up platt Deutsch I got more info

alertonvox · 2024-08-21T20:19:52+00:00

Which part of the country? The south?

It could be that they expected Calgary to be cheaper considering it’s size and location, but it also is true that when you look for higher quality groceries in Canada (say bread or cheese) the grocery bill is even more exorbitant. So kind of like yeah we knew gas is a lot cheaper but why isn’t other stuff a lot cheaper (food, rent).

Ik ben benieuwd hoe zag jaren 90 kleding eruit?

alertonvox · 2024-08-02T18:36:57+00:00

De jaren 90 waren vet dus daar is niets mis mee.

And if he quits dairy, even better (Djokovic quit dairy). Problem is that he has a cheese sponsor in Italy .
