I live in the USA - state of Wisconsin to be specific.
Went to the Dells a few years ago and a few times to see the Bucks game.
My Irish ancestors emigrated to the USA in the 1870's - from the Beara Peninsula in County Cork
I went to university in Chicago. I now live in Los Angeles.
Two great places and two places I can not afford to attend or live.
Where did you grow up?
I live in Umag, Croatia.
Spent almost 2 years in Killkenny, Ireland.
I went to your town. As my memory goes I went to this church at the center of town and climbed these very very scary mid evil steps to the bell tower. I got down and talked to priest at bottom. Told him how afraid I was and he said in the only words of English he knew “the stairs bring you closer to god”. I think that was your town, if not that part of Croatia. Funny the things you remember, beautiful town and I remember a joke a priest makes about stairs. You live in one of the pritiest parts of the world!
Whoa! Didnt expect that! Glad you liked it!!
I grew up in Budapest, now I live in Gyöngyös, Hungary.
I've been hiking to Kékes some years ago...
I have been there years ago too.
Táim i mo chónaí i bPoltava.
I live in Poltava, Ukraine. Never have been in Ireland or UK or any other Europe country 🙂
A year ago I was training people in Poland. I had an interpreter. I start talking to one of the guys in front through the interpreter and he looks at me lost. Then interpreter starts talking to everyone and tells me the guy is Ukrainian and does not understand polish. He turned out to be a nice guy but I knew I was in trouble there. Teaching in English, through Polish, to someone who does not speak Polish. You know you are in trouble. Ukrainian is on my bucket list of places to go, guessing not of lot of tourists make it there?
Speaking russian and ukrainian I had no troubles to learn polish. I don't speak fluently due to lack of practice but I read pretty well. I like polish fantasy and SF-writers like Sapkowsky, Wegner,Grzędowicz etc.
Ukraine is beautiful country. There are a lot places to see, from West to Donbass - Lviv, Kyiv, Chernivtsi, Odesa, Karpaty mountains. Even here, in Poltava we have some picturesque views 😉 And it is not so expensive 😉 Surely, good rooms in 4-5* hotel aren't cheap but beer and food and transport are pretty cheap. Last year maybe a few tourists travelling here coz of covid isuues but I hope restrictions would be removed soon.
i life in small town south africa
McChicken at mcdonalds i think a big mac was for long a dollar but now only thing at exactly a dollar is mcchicken
How far is the nearest McDonald’s to where you live. 2min from me in America. Not proud of the fact.
150 kilometres. we never had any big brand take anyways. but almost any town in south africa has a kfc . perhaps answer is normal mcdonald burger you are looking for. i know one of them they said cost always a dollar thought it was big mac but guess that has changed.
In the last 6 months i lived in Mali, Afrika.
Anyway i live in Budapest, Hungary where i finally will go back on next week...
Most interesting place listed in these comments has to be Mali. WHY were you there?
Half year assignement to EUTM Mali mission. If you find the facbook page of EUTM Mali, you might find me in some posts as training malian soldiers 😉
Anyway, beside soldiers of many many other countries i served with irish and south africans (from the countreis mentioned in the posts).
Fun fact: Mali is one of the few country where no McDonalds.
I grew up in Circleville, Ohio. Now I live in a small rural village in upstate New York, north of Syracuse.
In the state of reality
It´s incredible how a little community like ours is that international.
Another no rl irish here, from the Basque Country 😃
Basque language is on my wishlist of beautiful and weird languages to learn. 🙂
It´s a bit weird to understand what´s going on when you start studying it, but soon you´ll realise that it´s probably one of the most beautiful languages around 🙂
Do you speak Euskara?
Of course!
One of my fav bands sings in Euskara. Su Ta Gar
Great one! A real classic here 😃
