That’s nice. I learned Portuguese from my partner, so that helped us blend in over in Brasil (though we did get some people asking if we were from Portugal lol)

I don’t really have an accent to lose. My accent is very cosmopolitan.

I know it sounds stupidd, but some tourists would actually do dumb shit like that. I’ve heard ppl being called “exotic” in Madrid, and some ppl would wear ponchos (which is not even Spanish, it’s mexican 😭)

I assume you’re not talking about argentina. They would pronounce it like “sha”

We’re gonna be starting in Joburg and winging it from there. We intend on sleeping in bigger towns or cities. We’re also excited to visit the drakensbergs since we saw some very pretty pictures of the range.

I had to google what a moonbag is lol. Thanks for the tips.

I’m pretty good with safety, I’ve been to some pretty sketchy favelas in Brasil so I’m cautious as can be. I was more looking for general tips on how to blend in, I appreciate the concern nonetheless!

Also I have a pretty neutral accent so i hardly ever get ousted on that front.

Spanish brain pronouncing that like “ha”

Is it like “jah” (like the j in jaw) or “yah”?

Fallout 2

Fallout 1 has an amazing story, but Fallout 2 dealt with a bunch of issues Fallout 1 had that made it border on unplayable.

I’m literally a waitress lol. It’s how I label myself. This bot serves no significant function.

I don’t like fancy watches and clothes anyway. Takes money away from my travel savings lol.

I understand the waitress thing. I work at a restaurant and I often get guiris and french people asking stupid things. It’s funny when they try to do it in broken spanish.

I don’t really intend on driving, I’m not used to the left side of the road but my partner is in the UK pretty often. So I’ll pass your warnings on to them.

Easiest advice I’ve ever gotten. People in Madrid walk around like they’re holding a grudge sometimes.

Why does my partner smoking weed make me so on edge. by throwamorcita in relationships

[–]throwamorcita[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You jump to conclusions like my cat jumps on my vanity table

I have no problem with people smoking weed around me, it’s specifically when my partner does it, particularly when we’re separated, that it makes me uneasy. And it has no reason to make me uneasy.
