I've visited India,

I think you have faced some strange experinces.

India was one of my favorite places to visit!  I wrote my thesis there while living with @Béneditsch Ardpresteir for a few weeks, plus I traveled all around the country for months.  Delhi was great, but also we had a particular love for Varanasi and Sikkim.

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on June 21, 2026, 08:58:31 PMI'd actually like to go back to a lot of those places[...] Maybe now that the kids are getting a little older, I'll be able to.

I went the opposite direction: Once my kids grew old enough (they started paying full fare) we didn't travel anymore all together. Even before then, just the logistics for getting us all from one side of the planet to the other were not very enticing. Last trip like that was to Hong Kong, and that was only with two kids.

Yeah, my wife and I haven't traveled anywhere significant -- outside of a few places in America and to Canada -- since we had our twins.  Partially it's the expense, but also it's because all the kids are still kind of too young to appreciate it.  We plan to remedy that in a couple of years and go down to Mexico... I'll be hitting you up for advice on where to go!

The States isn't in your list, probably for understandable reasons right now, but if you ever want to come visit (probably post-Trump) you'll have a free place to stay in Massachusetts!

Sikkim was absolutely wonderful! (When I have visited)

Palestine (coming up in October hopefully)

How can it be possible?(I mean in this war)

If you want to make a difference, Moinul, there are times when you need to determine the amount of acceptable risk. My personal limit is probably higher than most when it comes to human rights especially.

When I was in Colombia for another delegation the village we were observing was bombed by the ELN. There are ideals that one must be willing to put oneself on the line for.

That's a powerful perspective. Your experience in Colombia shows the kind of courage and commitment that human rights work sometimes demands. I have great respect for people willing to stand up for their principles despite the risks.

Of course, the current material I have is not enough to make a substantial episode (about 7 to 10 minutes unfortunately.) I didn't realize this until I sat down to  compile everything.

Thanks for clarifying!

May be as a Football fan?🤔⚽ @Breneir Tzaracomprada

Not at all, I find football to be rather boring but I have a friend from childhood who adores the game. I love his love of the game but I'd rather watch tennis or bowling.

As a lover of history, visiting the Parthenon in Athens and the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul were highlights.

That's understandable! While I'm a football fan, I can certainly appreciate the appeal of tennis. But most of football fans visit Argentina and Brazil.

Quote from: King Txec on June 21, 2026, 12:50:06 PMI have lived in the US and Germany. I've visited Canada, Mexico, England, Scotland, Belgium, The Netherlands, Austria, Denmark, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Israel, and Jordan. I've been to 47 of the 50 states in the US, and lived in 3 different states (Oklahoma, Maryland, and California since 1986.)

My favorite places are London, Edinburgh, Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, and a whole host of German cities, but most especially Rottenburg ob der Tauber and Wildflecken. When I lived in Germany, the east was communist so I never visited that part of the country.

Your majesty @King Txec, you've traveled far more than most people ever will! It must be fascinating to have experienced so many different countries and cultures. Thanks for sharing your journey.

Interesting! Out of curiosity, why would you recommend avoiding Berlin? @Barclamïu da Miéletz

Quote from: Moinul Moin on June 21, 2026, 04:57:32 AMI would love to see the home of famous companies such as BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, and Volkswagen

So that's Bavaria for BMW (Munich) and Audi (Ingolstadt), Baden-Württemberg for Mercedes-Benz and Porsche (Stuttgart) and Lower Saxony for Volkswagen (Wolfsburg). I highly recommend Bavaria though, specifically the Alpine regions, especially at Lake Constance, Lindau specifically.

Thank you for the recommendations! Bavaria and Lindau sound wonderful, and I'll definitely keep them in mind if I ever get the chance to visit Germany. @Barclamïu da Miéletz

Hi everyone!

I'd love to get to know my fellow Talossans a bit better. What's one country you've visited that left a lasting impression on you, or one country you dream of visiting someday? I'd be interested to hear what attracts you to those places—history, culture, food, scenery, or something else.

Looking forward to the discussion!

My own answer:

I have traveled to Nepal and India so far.

In the future, I would love to visit Spain, mainly to visit the stadiums of FC Barcelona and Real Madrid and experience the football culture firsthand.

Germany is another country high on my list, as I would love to see the home of famous companies such as BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, and Volkswagen.

I would also like to visit the United Kingdom, especially London, to see Buckingham Palace and take a photo with the King's Guards.

France is another dream destination of mine. I would love to visit the Eiffel Tower and, of course, the Talossan province of Cézembre.

One memorable thing from my trip to Nepal was seeing people do bungee jumping. I didn't try it myself, but it was amazing to watch.

As for India, the most impressive sight was undoubtedly the Taj Mahal. Seeing such an iconic monument in person was a remarkable experience.

Quote from: Iason Taiwos on June 07, 2026, 01:44:51 PMI'd like to nominate my car as "Used Talossan Car of the Year".
I drive a 2007 Ford Mustang. It previously belonged to my stepdaughter, who passed away from cancer. Look, I'm not a car guy, never have been. I want something to get me from point a to point b reliably, and that's it. I don't care what it looks like as long as it runs and won't cost a lot of money for repairs. Preferably something I can repair myself. (Okay, there was one car I owned I actually loved...a 1979 Jeep CJ5. Had an inline six engine. Learned to drive stick on it, and I could fix it myself. I'm not naturally mechanically inclined, but I replaced the carburetor, U-joints and a bunch of other stuff all by myself, using just a Haynes manual as a guide. I was proud of myself for that. Plus, it was fun to drive.)
Anyhow, this Mustang. I don't get the appeal. I can't tell you how many times people have complimented me on it. "Wow, nice Mustang, man!" How are you supposed to reply to that? "Thanks, but I just drive it. I had no part of its design or production." I usually just say "Thanks" and leave it at that.
I'm 52 now, and some people probably think my owning this sports car is some kind of mid-life crisis thing, when it was just a vehicle I got because my stepdaughter died, and no one else wanted it. It runs okay, that's all I'm concerned about.
The speedometer hasn't worked since I've had it (maybe five years now), so I've been driving it around the whole time without actually knowing how fast I'm going. I guess it's a testament to my driving skills that I haven't been pulled over by the cops. (I've only ever had one speeding ticket in my life.) My wife once pulled up an app that tells you how fast you are driving, and kept her eye on it when we drove out of town. "I'll let you know when you're speeding," she said. She never mentioned it again until we got back home, and said "That actually impressed me. You pretty much drove the exact speed limit the whole time."
The Mustang has body rust, the muffler is falling off. Sometimes in the morning the button on the gear shifter doesn't want to work. The gas gauge also occasionally quits working. But it gets me to work and back, eventually. It's mostly reliable. My brakes are still good, they saved me from plowing into a couple of deer crossing the road the other day.
(Since we're talking about cars, one of my coworkers recently got a 1962 Rambler. You know all those stories about the old lady keeping her dead husband's antique car in the garage for decades, and it's in pristine condition? This was one of those stories. My coworker grew up next to the old lady, and would mow her lawn for her. She finally died, and the family wanted to clean out her stuff. They offered the car to my work pal, since he had mowed her lawn for years without accepting any pay. They wanted $3000 for it, and threw in an old Cadillac as well. Well, luckily he had the money, and snapped it up. The Caddilac wasn't in that great a shape, but the Rambler looked like it had just rolled out of the factory. Pristine. My pal had to use dry gas to start it, but it drove fine. He went and got historic plates for it. All this happened right in time for the "Super Cruise", which is an annual car show they have here in my town.

S:reu @Iason Taiwos Please can you show the photo of your nominated car? I think(according to your speech) the car is absolutely wonderful!!

(I am very eager to see the photo of the car)
