TQR 12,180 Posted October 18, 2022 Two weeks until I piss off to NZ for 10 days. Part business, part pleasure. Would’ve loved longer but there we are. I am desperate to get out of the fucking UK for a bit so this two weeks can’t pass quickly enough. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Couldn’t agree more; this’ll be my third time! I’ll be around the Bay of Plenty, Tauranga first then I’ve rented a nice house in Tairua for the last 3 days. Haven’t done much of the South yet unfortunately. Where in NZ have you been? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ThereWillBeDeaths7 597 Posted May 11, 2023 I'm on holiday in London with my girlfriend for the next couple of days, having arrived this evening and leaving sunday afternoon. We haven't planned much as of yet (besides Hamilton the musical, gf is a big fan and I appreciate most of the songs as well), but with the crowning done (with loads of crowds) and Eurovision fans off to Liverpool I guess, it might actually be a great time to be here! 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ThereWillBeDeaths7 597 Posted July 30, 2023 Seems I'm one of the more frequent users of this thread, I do like sharing when I'm away for longer just in case, and perhaps it can inspire other forum users when visiting said places. Earlier this month I went to Lisbon for a couple of days, quite nice weather (mostly about 25 degrees celsius) but sadly quite touristic. Right now I'm departing from Amsterdam with my girlfriend to visit her family in Finland for a couple of weeks. Until then! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ThereWillBeDeaths7 597 Posted August 13, 2023 And I'm back from my trip to Finland! Enjoyed the time with my girlfriend's family a lot, we stayed for some time at her family's summer cottage and the rest of it in Tampere where most of her direct family lives. Also got to meet some newest members of the family as her cousins are beginning to get children. Weather was fine as well; some more wind than usual for the area and some cloudy days, but also multiple sunny days. All in all I love what I've seen from the country since I've started visiting it some years ago: lots of nature, large cities that don't feel crowded but have a lot to offer (Helsinki, Tampere) and kind people. Lastly, I'm learning Finnish on Duolingo since a year or two, definitely not fluent yet but learning a lot of new words and can now reasonably follow an average conversation between Finnish people. Kiitos hienoista viikoista, Suomi! 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was helping the Army with their inquiries. The bastards used their most advanced sleep deprivation techniques on me and not only that, they tried to poison me. Bastards. I also met a very interesting man named Adolf Shipman. Is it normal not to remember things which happened nearly 17 years ago? I have no Idea what this was about. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
