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

Hell. I live in Hell. It's still pronounced "America" though.

United Kingdom! We like tea.

[–] Moonweedbaddegrasse@lemm.ee 13 points 4 days ago (1 children)

United Kingdom too, but I hate tea! We're a complex people...

[–] LadyButterfly@lazysoci.al 9 points 4 days ago (1 children)

You hate tea?? I'm glad the queen isn't alive to witness such appalling behaviour

[–] Moonweedbaddegrasse@lemm.ee 11 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I think finding out I don't like tea was what finished her off tbh.

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.

Britain is across the pond.

The pond is the Atlantic Ocean.

You're in the Atlantic Ocean.

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.

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 4 points 4 days ago (2 children)

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?

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

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.
