    Is Western culture as weird to you as your stuff is to us?

    Ooh ooh! Here's a good one:

    Primary school (or whatever you call it); Did you sit on the floor or a desk?

    We usually sat on the floor, but in the rooms that didn't have the space we just sat at tables.

    Younger years I think maybe, or for talks or such, but later it was always desks.

    Fun fact: Scotland is boring.

    How can it be boring if everyone has a Scottish accent?

    Since yesterday was the 25th anniversary of ze german reunion, i wanted to post a video about german dialects anyway:

    This is the best i could find sadly. They just kinda took random clips with accents in them...even if they were star wars redubs. They also completely left out austrian and my, personal favourite, swiss dialects.

    Edit: The channel is called "get germanized". I mean...that's...uh...not the best name choice imo. :confused:

    Two kangaroos fighting is pretty much the opposite of not serious. Seriously.
    You don't want to get anywhere near that fight.

    Remember, it's Australia. If you can see it, it can kill you. If you can't see it, it can kill you without you even knowing it was there.
