Huh. I was absolutely convinced you were in the 'v' postal area in Canada. Heck, I thought we had the same job and maybe the same employer!

Regional NSW; I haven't decided where exactly but Wagga is awfully nice

Thanks, me too. It's gonna be a long way to go still but I'm determined to make it happen.

Nice! I lived near Ravensburg for a while a couple of years ago; nice region and they still get heaps of snow in winter so it's infinitely better than where I live in BW...

The one that is actively falling apart on live TV.

Though I was born on the USS Enterprise, in international waters. Having lived in 49/50 states, I chose California as my home.

Lol, the now decommissioned CVN-65, it was featured in Star Trek 4: The one with the whales.

Italy here, today waiting for the "Giro d'Italia" to pass and take some photos. I like torcetti and croissants (not the French ones please)

Italy! Lived in a bunch of different places over the years but Italy's my home and I don't se myself leaving again hehe

France. I love cheese and baguettes but I don't drink wine (I prefer tea) and I do not wear a béret.

I'm not one of those monsters, and I live in Paris. I belong to the pain au chocolat camp, even though I would much prefer the humble croissant. The baker down our street makes some incredibly great ones, people are queuing to get some ;)

The states, west coast in general. It's kind of funny, between the three of us in my family, we have one person born in CA, OR, and WA.

Joining from the West Coast, California.

Small Lemmy BLHW, I swear I got here browsing hot and not creeping your comments.

With some luck, soon it might be free Serbia, since our dictator was never closer to going down

South Africa. Might be eligible for UK citizenship though thanks to a recent-ish change that allows maternal ancestry (how progressive of them), just need the funds to get that ball rolling. And I missed out on Dutch citizenship because my father had to be the only one of his siblings born in South Africa and not the Netherlands.

Third planet after the Sun. My country is the globe!

I'm from Paraná [inb4 "Banana"], Brazil. It's like Romania: similar shape, and also inhabited by a bunch of Latins that people insistently call Poles, but instead of wolves attacking tourists we got tourists trying to hug capybaras.

lemmy.ca

Let's be clear, here: you can't hug the capybaras? It'll be hard, but I can cope with that over time.

Can you sit in an "Adirondack" style chair on a dock as the sun goes down and smoke some bonkers weed with one and watch the day die? Because I kinda feel if no one was around they'd speak up and reveal some crazy poignant fact and change my life.

I may hug one after that. Or before. I'm gonna lose an ear, aren't I?

At least in theory you could hug a one; they aren't aggressive. You wouldn't lose an ear. But tourists are loud so the 'baras feel like being hunted, and once you get close they run into the water. (It's fun to watch this in parks.)

And even if you do manage to get close... they're wild animals, so full of ticks and fleas. It's a bit unwise to pet them.

Can you sit in an “Adirondack” style chair on a dock

I'm not even sure if there are 'baras in the coast, since they're a freshwater animal.

Hm. I'll have to re-think it.

Tourist captured after leaping into Capybara enclosure, found with an unreal amount of bonkers weed. "I didn't know they housed them with the small alligators!" he was heard to say while the police tried to restrain and remove his ample, pasty-white frame.

I've got no good luck!

sigh I am legally required to inform you that i was born in the state of Texas, USA...

I'm from the US, I live in France right now. I miss my home, but I fear that there will be no home to return to.

Oh is it because I’m brown? Huh? I don’t ask you what country you’re from!

Originally Ohio, now the American Southwest (I won't be more specific than that).

Left Ohio a decade ago, never going back that place is terrible. There's like, no sunlight, gives ya the SADs (seasonal affective disorder) real bad in winter. Life in the desert is nice, basically infinite hiking. I do a different trail every week, usually around 5 miles or so. I've got a big 13 mile loop planned with some friends soon, I'm excited.

Dude, just because you're the last one to see the sun go down, just means you're in Ucluelet and you're right where you want to be.

That ain't slow. That's "well placed" or also "well paced."

Carry on, pace-setter. Show us how to be.

From Norway. Lived in a handful of countries the last decade or so. Probably going back to Norway this summer. Always a bigger culture shock than going abroad.

So pond.

Britain is across the pond.

The pond is the Atlantic Ocean.

You're in the Atlantic Ocean.
