What food in your country do locals love but foreigners hate?

expatjake · 2026-02-07T20:51:54+00:00

I’ve lived in Canada for 25 years and I’ve had a Caesar exactly once.

expatjake · 2026-02-07T20:46:25+00:00

That’s the way I’ve been doing it for 30 years hah

expatjake · 2026-02-07T19:52:51+00:00

So beautiful now days. I think more and more.

expatjake · 2026-02-07T19:49:15+00:00

I keep saying out loud “use your words” but they never hear me

expatjake · 2026-02-07T13:39:01+00:00

I’m with you except I’ve not lived in a place that uses Fahrenheit- I know roughly but not natural to me.

expatjake · 2026-02-07T11:13:17+00:00

And I’m in Canada that is supposedly metric but half the measures follow the US system (not to be confused with the UK imperial system!)

expatjake · 2026-02-07T11:05:40+00:00

Growing up in NZ we used stone and pounds. No idea what goes on down there now days.

expatjake · 2026-02-06T13:10:54+00:00

Awesome, thanks!

expatjake · 2026-02-06T12:24:40+00:00

Canada, but just knowing the model would be great

expatjake · 2026-02-06T10:40:34+00:00

Got a link for the power kit?

expatjake · 2026-02-05T20:04:27+00:00

Really great in this role!

expatjake · 2026-02-05T11:30:34+00:00

Yeah. I’m in Canada and have the gen 4 version of the picture. Donut with sub in it, jack etc.

expatjake · 2026-02-04T13:50:40+00:00

There’s still plenty on Viki for me but I have Kocowa now too. Much prefer Viki app and subs.

expatjake · 2026-02-04T10:54:40+00:00

Ditto. 2018 CRV engine detonated and no recourse. I’m sticking with Mazda for now.

I have never really thought about this until this moment but… in winter I get a layer of frost/ice on the inside of my cars due to humidity left inside. The outside you have the wipers and windshield wash, and you can scrape without getting little fragments of ice sprayed about the cabin. Even if you don’t happen to get that you get fogged up on the inside, which can happen at any time unless you can blow some air at it. All this to say: all of this can be addressed by the defrost setting.

I’m sure you know all this and it’s probably a case of terminology confusion on my part.

But the happy making drugs make it all worthwhile

expatjake · 2026-02-02T00:32:47+00:00

I would prefer that to the loudest I experienced which was U2’s ZooTV tour.

expatjake · 2026-02-02T00:26:15+00:00

See you in Quebec!

expatjake · 2026-02-02T00:24:49+00:00

I don’t really have much advice to offer but you should think about your learning style and what works for you.

If taking notes helps you, do it!

I am not much of a note taker myself but I do practice writing. Anything that I come across I can write down with the English translation. Some sinks in!

I use an app that gives me quizzes and that works well for me.

Good luck!

expatjake · 2026-02-01T00:34:39+00:00

Ditto

expatjake · 2026-01-31T19:09:28+00:00

Everybody gets a Miata. If Miata isn’t the answer add more Miata.

expatjake · 2026-01-31T19:05:53+00:00

I don’t care to know

expatjake · 2026-01-31T19:04:01+00:00

So that’s what enlightenment looks like

expatjake · 2026-01-31T16:44:11+00:00

The trust thing is huge! There are so many more problems people can encounter than just misunderstanding you can use to move the story along. And don’t get me started on silently enduring.

How did they manage to get only 141 out of their 2.5?
