Oh, I want to see a real one! Does the novelty wear off? We have lots of hedgehogs here and yeah they can be noisy but always cute ^-^ (Edit: and dirty, no touchy. Like raccoons, I assume)

we dont have air con because it doesnt get hot enough that often to justify such an expense

Very good craftsmanship!!

I guess the equivalent in England would be a car boot sale?

Opp shops? That's a very regular thing in Australia

100% My sisters flatmate was feeling homesick, back in our Uni days, and it was Thanksgiving coming up. We researched, went all over town to get out of season ingredients etc. Learned to make pumpkin pie, and made a cornucopia. It was a wonderful experience in itself, sweetened by knowing it would help cheer him up

Thanksgiving is such an underrated holiday. Getting together with family and friends and having a good dinner feels great. Cooking a thanksgiving dinner is another story, though…

You could always have a Guy Fox Day dinner or celebrate Canadian Thanksgiving!

The beautiful start of a stunning holiday season.

All these are genuinely so cute cute

thanksgiving is pretty good...

Eehh. I’ll take a uk Christmas dinner any day. You don’t need 4 kinds of potato

For me it looks like another family-christmas-like-reunion, plenty of food and consumerism, a celebration for an event which caused lots of deaths and pain of the ones who were living there first. Idk, just don't feel comfortable with it. But maybe it's just my lack of culture.

It's kinda strange that Thanksgiving isn't a thing in the UK or Ireland, considering it's a tradition in both the US and Canada. In the US we're taught that the first colonists made it up, but I find it hard to believe that the same puritans who outlawed Christmas would invent Thanksgiving.

Why do you guys even have turkey if you aren't going to have a Thanksgiving dinner? seems a complete waste.

Don;t they exist elsewhere? Certainly in the UK there are public lending libraries in every town, even mobile ones (i.e.a van) in more remote areas.

we have the same regional differences...but, a lot of different geography...then again, you have red squirrels, hedgehogs, and castles...so, you're in pretty good shape

It’s such an artificial colour and taste BUT IT’S SO GOOOOOODD

Don't forget Blue Bell.

But they are still in America. Europeans can drive the equivalent distance and be in a different country, having passed through several on the way.

It's my favorite flavor from them after they discontinued Heath Bar Crunch.

The first year after I emigrated to the UK, I decorated the house 2 weeks before.....hubby was not happy! Was glad I had my decs shipped from my dad's to here. Just wish I could have shipped the life size coffin, built and decorated it myself. But hubs would have had a stroke (at that time, Halloween wasn't really a done thing over here) but the neighbourhoods kids enjoyed it.

possums are, indeed, awesome

????? didn't realise Park life, Glastonbury and Reading were in the US

Yes! My mind boggles at this! I would for sure use a bucket load of coupons to get those kind of discounts! We used to have coupons in the 90s, but nothing like the American ones I've seen (I must note, I've seen on the TV. Not heard from any actual Americans about it)

SAME WITH PASSPORTS!!!

its more candy than cereals....

It's August. My family has already done our Spirit Halloween run this year.

We have them in Australia, I used to be sent to them a lot 😂

Are you sure people don't get judged for shopping in their pajamas?

Ooooh, Trader Joe's! It's true. It's awesome!

OP never watched Wayne's World.

You can be jealous until you realize that most 16yo kids are nowhere prepared to drive in traffic.

Corn dogs are so easy. Just mix cornmeal and water (beat in an egg if you want), skewer a sausage on a stick, dip it in the batter you made (a tumbler or other tall glass is a good vessel for dipping a sausage in batter), and fry it! You can vary the recipe: The sausage you use doesn't have to be a hot dog - try a kielbasa or bratwurst. If you don't have cornmeal you can make other types of batter - like what you would use for fish and chips or schnitzel. If you aren't comfortable deep frying, you can pan fry if there's a lot of oil in the pan and it's very hot.

This one I feel. I think the variety of food from different heritages is so cool. In Germany it's a little like "only one food trend at a time"... As if we can't handle new food/taste. Like, till the maybe 2010s there where mostly Chinese restaurants beside greek and pizzerias. Then came sushi. Like two years ago Indian. In-between where Mongolian and wine others but they disappeared after the new trend wave in my observation. It's hard to find Mexican, African, Persian, Carribbean... But slowly it's becoming better. I enjoy discovering new tastes

I literally have a can of pain au chocolat dough in my fridge right now.

If you're ever in Escondido, CA, I highly recommend Peterson's donuts. Best I've ever had and I looooove donuts.

I can sometimes get next day shipping on Amazon, and I'm in the UK.

True, I never wore a school uniform in the US, but the downside is that kids get bullied and judged for wearing unfashionable clothes.

Speaking up and being socially bold is great if used correctly. But it's not limited to America.

Well we are getting close to an election.

You have bali around the corner! You are not allowed to complain! *edit: and all the additions below 😊

NGL Stockholm sounds pretty cool.
