that's still very cool I know very few who's 1st language isn't Dutch that can understand the language :p

Circuit July 16th, 2019 10:11 AM

It's nice to meet someone else who can speak German haha, I don't meet many people online who can tbh ^^

Dutch gibberish is only gibberish if it's gibberish, else it's not gibberish. You know?

Nyuutaipu July 16th, 2019 10:14 AM

Yeah I remember the Dutch claim German is gibberish, while the Germans claim Dutch is gibberish.

Sami July 16th, 2019 10:17 AM

everything not Dutch is gibberish :mfw:

Noblejanobii July 16th, 2019 12:48 PM

Pretty sure it's the other way around

Kitty July 16th, 2019 1:22 PM

Definitely the other way around :thonk:

Sami July 16th, 2019 1:23 PM

wow bullies :dansad:

Circuit July 16th, 2019 1:32 PM

So everything Dutch is gibberish :thonk:

Yue Han July 17th, 2019 4:09 AM

A Dutch friend of mine says that Flemish is like old fashioned sounding Dutch. Like how she expected her grandparents to speak back in their younger days or something like that.

Also add me to the 'never learnt to ride a bike club'. It's moved very far up the list though since I'm going to be spending most of my time outside November onward.

Noblejanobii July 17th, 2019 5:22 AM

I learned how to ride a bike then didn't for like a decade. Took me about a day to relearn how to ride a bike. It's true what they say about never forgetting.

colours July 17th, 2019 5:31 AM

I would never ride a bike around these parts because a) I don't trust myself to and b) I most definitely don't trust a lot of the drivers here lol

Sami July 17th, 2019 5:31 AM

Riding a bike is mandatory here... If you don't do it they'll throw you out the country into a Belgian Supermarket

colours July 17th, 2019 5:34 AM

A lot of the people who ride bikes still take the bus anyway because for whatever reason things are that spread out here. 🙃

Tsutarja July 17th, 2019 6:54 AM

I wish I lived in a city where you wouldn't need a car to get around from place to place, really.

Caite-chan July 17th, 2019 7:07 AM

I wouldn't mind doing more bike riding but there's to many asshole drivers around and not enough sidewalks to ride on.

Yue Han July 17th, 2019 7:13 AM

I've been so spoiled with transport living in a city with a very extensive (and very affordable) metro system that connects to two high speed railways stations and another normal long distance railway station plus the airport which is a big international one. When/if I settle down which, if I choose to live in a city, I will settle for nothing less again!

Nyuutaipu July 17th, 2019 1:32 PM

Heh I only recently ever rode with a metro, most my life was normal train travel or bus travel so it was a fun new experience ^^

colours July 17th, 2019 3:30 PM

I've never been on a train before tbh.

... never really needed to. The train here is more if you're going to a different county altogether, so there was never really a need for me to travel that far.

Sorvete July 17th, 2019 3:51 PM

I haven't either. There aren't trains around my region anyway, but it's something I'd like to experience someday.

colours July 17th, 2019 3:54 PM

I'd like to experience getting on a plane at some point, too! Truth be told a part of me will always be afraid of flying because of heights reasons, but I've always wanted to travel around so I feel like I have to deal with it sooner or later. ._.

It can be terrifying but speaking from my experiences, I've only really been scared when we've hit turbulence. Perhaps not sitting in a window seat or not looking out the window would help with your fear of heights.

Nyuutaipu July 17th, 2019 4:36 PM

Yeah I talked about it with other people before, when I need to go to another country I usually take the train. Because comfy and stations everywhere, but was already thinking about where my first plane travel should go to. Due to family it may be Tokyo-Narita airport in 2020 or 2021 ^^

Aisle seat is really the only viable option when flying because sitting in the middle seat is awful because then whenever you have to use the restroom you have to scoot past whoever is in the aisle seat and back and ughhhhhhhh. And then if they're larger (I mean genuinely no offense to big people but this is an issue given how cramped seats are) it's even more embarrassing to keep doing this, so honestly if I'm ever flying I'm only sticking with aisle seats.

With online check-in or when you check in at the desk get a seat on the row next to the emergency exit doors if one is available. More leg room.

I do agree about aisle seat in general though, and when others need to go to the toilet it's a good excuse to stand up for a while to have a stretch.

Something I always do too is wait to be one of the last people to board so I don't have to sit for ages on the plane when everyone is up and down and up and down again.

Yeah, definitely considering this. Back when I worked as a travel agent, I found out that exit row seats are basically mandatory for really tall people cause they can barely fit in any of the other seats otherwise.
