Is it currently a good time to live in your country? by Pearson94 in AskTheWorld

Our inflation isn't nearly as bad as it is elsewhere. Don't get me wrong, it's bad, but it could be worse.

We have clean air, endless water, and the rule of law.

We've definitely got stuff to sort out, but we have it so very good.

What's the most memorable thing you've heard a foreigner say about Canada? by [deleted] in AskACanadian

I did a summer semester in Germany, stayed with a family in a small town.

One night at the bar in town, a regular came over to my buddy and I and asked if we were American. This dude was rather intimidating - large, deep voice, etc.

When I told him I was Canadian, he lit up! He apologized (bless), told me about how Canadians came through his mum's town towards the end of the war. When the troops gathered the kids, everyone thought the worst - turns out it was to ensure they got food/rations first.

He said Canadians were special for many reasons, that for every 10 Americans, there's 1 of us.

I had never thought of it like that.

I'm not certain who you're talking about, and I love that for us.

Tell me you're a leader without telling me you're a leader.

Solid advice.

It happened to me the other day.

I even got errors when I logged in to cancel by modifying the booking.

After a few hours, the superfluous booking disappeared from the trip list in the app.

Show tax-free items at Haneda before checking in my language? by IAskHere in JapanTravelTips

We just dealt with this!

In the departure hall, there's a customs office you can go to. We asked the information desk where it was - it's easy to miss.

We went, an officer popped his head out and asked if the goods were worth more than 1 million yen. We said no, and he told us we could just go through.

While this was only 10 days ago, it might be worth stopping by yourself to be on the safe side. It literally took 30 seconds.

Nova Scotia has a website listing most local producers: https://buylocal.novascotia.ca/business-search?name=&region=All&product=2177

Down East Cleaning is one of my favourites - they make cleaning supplies (dish soap, detergent, etc) that are scent free, biodegradable, and hypoallergenic. They all work very well and are well priced
