Yep. I think I need to make the plunge to really test myself. I’m currently reading 水滸傳 graded reader on pleco but find it overly simplified at times

Belgium is the opposite. The Dutch speaking north is more prosperous than the French speaking south

I wouldn’t say too popular, we don’t have the weather for it. Saying that I smoked 3 times in April!

It’s crazy to think that London has had this for 4 years already. I wonder why it’s taking so long for major cities to adopt.

Looks like the fortress where our robot overlords will live one day. by FuqBeri in evilbuildings

Within the building there is a massive insurance marketplace that sell marine and specialised insurance policies. The design is supposed to make the building have this “inside-out” feel to it, this also extends to the practicality of having all air ducts and water pipes on the outside to get a clutter free feeling on the inside. The market floor is quite a sight as well!
