general

he knows NOTHING about Canada

4 weeks in nunavut is insane

if he hasn't killed himself and actually makes it to Toronto, I'll be lk surprised

that's more the vibe I get

a 1/5th life crisis, where he's following istagram advice to go "see the world" with no concept for wtf to do

I think he is making the mistake of "remote" means better nature to explore, when the reality is nunavut is a shithole

like Halifax, he know's NOTHING about the province

fuck, I knew more random facts about it than he did

he knew it was sorta an island, and they probably had fish there

he doesn't even really do camping/hiking shit

Only thing I could list off the top of my head for Halifax is he should check out the harbour, thats probably one of the more famous locations therw

like I've gone on more multi-day hikes than he has

and only done it 3-times

He is going to die in nunavut

parents kind of expect him to come home after a week in Nova Scotia

"once he gets this out of his system"

Honestly, just a week vacation in nova scotia is probably a decent vacation

its nice enough and on the water

it was really funny talking to him about it

and I'm telling him what the landmarks are, and what things there are to do, telling him the history of it being; essentially, New New England

compared the the US

and he 's like "I bet they have fish there"

Spooky I should try to meme prepare the equivalent 5 month trip through the US

lmao

do it

arizona desert for 4 weeks is my replacement for nunavut

good thing for all the Canadians though, because he's flying to NS, he won't have any of his guns with him, originally I thought he was going to drive up and do some off-road hunting in Nunavut

if he did, I was predicting quite the news story once he snapped

He'd get turned around at the border most likely

lol, Pika

they don't check shit at the border

they wave you through

it's not like a formal immigration checkpoint

This was under the assumption that he'd be retarded enough to just have a rifle visible in the back seat

oh, no not that dumb

lol

Spooky if you drop everything and join him, you could meet 2 phijkchu, 1 ex phijkchu, and someone I cannot name

and like 10 of the new joiners :kappa

yeah, unirronically zero interest in that though

srry bby

someone you cannot name

that's suspicious as fuck

Pika, I look forward to your US trip itinerary

you should make it a joint venture, for you+xbrox

hit all the best states

oh pika, I probably did not mention my more recent Ontario excursion

just like two months ago not even

wacky little get an Airbnb in this place called Goulias Bay

what's the critter bob?

If your brother leaves soon I might actually be in quebec when he goes

Bc me and my girlfriend are taking a much shorter, much more condensed Canada trip in August lol

I won’t have time to visit any phijkchus though most likely, my itinerary is becoming more and more packed

🥱 just come to europe

spent most of our time in soo canada. cat cafes, mall excursion, closed out some bars with the locals, and threw a party at the airbnb on the last night

got too friends living in soo mich and one friend from their so definitely will be back

the canada side is way more fun. that town has character

gonna stop in soo mich tomorrow on my way to a music fest actually

fire, inevitably I will be back in europe. whether it's traveling again with my sister or moving there who knows

my new job has locations globally, and I'm remote rn anyway. want to live in another country somewhere while I'm still young and can have fun

plus we need more people in euro timezones rn in my department

Where in Europe would you even move Mint?

I wanna take a europe trip, my parents went on an England>France>Belgium>Netherlands trip and it sounded lovely

I’ve only been to Ireland

so I said germany, but my family says that's the worst choice. including my family that lives in austria part time now. they are the ones who have lived in czechia for a while now, so they have also been learning german now. I started learning german for work, we all were advised to study up on other languages, lots of my old parent company coworkers are multilingual. this new parent company is just a giant global company so the language learning thing still applies. that's part of the reason. it will work for my resume to have foreign experience, langues, culture etc. that's just how cybersecurity is. so my second choice is austria, but idk, I just would rather do Germany. Czechia is awesome but my family lives there already so I have reasons to travel there, not live there, plus the language is much harder. so third choice is Netherlands probably, dutch shouldn't be too hard to transition to

oh my sister wants to move to northern Italy with me, so that's an option, she was living in Italy for school spring 2023

by northern I mean like the dolomites though, or as far north as you can go

I would never want to live in germany

they ban and censor so much foreign media

I quite liked the towns I have been to in southern germany

that was funny, and france does too

I loved seeing tweets say you cant view this in germany

I feel like the "small town" feel of Germany or France is better in the East, Poland or Romania or w/e German cities would be a hard no lmao

If I had to pick somewhere to live in mainland Europe, I'd end up in Croatia more than likely

I don't think i'd want to live in europe at all, actually

but I also have zero desire to move to Europe tbf

^^

definitely want a town, not a city, just not Munich or Berlin or something like that. I want cozy, but still night clubs and stuff to do

east germany also is tempting, never been north of munich though

still need to do some traveling I guess
