Getting to know you

[Zhangfei]

Within the rules of the forum - and I currently see none that could prohibit this - I would like to play a simple game. Ask a poster (as in, they have posted in this thread) something about them philosophically, culturally or intellectually you are interested in. For example, as a Briton who moved to America people may want to know how/why. Avoiding banned forum posts, let's make this thread to ask pressing questions!

Moved to fun stuff. It's more fitting here and you'll probably get more activity.

So the premise of the game is to ask a question of any poster in the thread and not just the above poster? (For me it's only you I guess )

So, why did you move to America and how are you liking your life in America compared to your life in Britain?

I really like a lot of things - certain items are cheaper, there's really good lemonade, fried chicken and biscuits, college football and I adore my friends here. I own a beautiful house and have great pets!

Them's the rules! The only other person right now is you, Anakso. What makes you so fascinated in Korean (I think) girls given you're in sunny Australia?

Very well, Anakso. Explain to me the sorcery of the Australian shoe industry. Is it magnets? Is that's what's keeping you from falling off ze side?

Yes, they're Korean

It's not just the girls though, K-pop in general is my addiction. My favourite group is girls though hence the sig and avatar
Can't really explain why, there's just so much about it. It's not even just the music but the variety shows, some variety shows probably had me laughing more consistently than any in English comedy I've ever seen xD

Hard to find short scenes on youtube but here is one random example I youtubed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Atkj6NFbew4
(Note: Only two of them are in my sig)

It's actually the clothing industry. My clothes have a negative weight value meaning I float above the atmosphere and can walk safely on land.

Nemi a question for you.
Why are you so afraid of technology? Get a phone and other stuff! That way you can take photos of the pictures you draw

Poor Idaho lad! In South Carolina it's been 80 (unseasonably warm) for the past few days. A good friend from PA keeps complaining on Facebook that Southerners keep boasting about it!

How big is Boise? I've always wondered because of the stereotypes of Idaho but know it can't be that small!

Well since the late 80's early 90's a lot of californians came up here. We arent all potato farmers and it was prolly because of Bruce willis and Dimi moore. You see they moved from SO CA to Sun valley to have fun up in the mountains. Thats why we boomed so big for a bit. We're still growing. Most of our houses are in meridan. Not a lot of people move to the outskirts, but there is a lot more people in boise than there used to be.

Anakso:
Australia eh? So I hear you guys love to put shrimp on the barbie. Meaning Putting shrimp on the grill. How often do you grill? lol Just wondering.

Me personally? Not often, almost never really. I've been to a few since I got here but am not actually Australian
It's a very common and easy way to cook a lot of food for parties though. I've never actually seen Shrimp put on a BBQ but I'm sure some do it sometimes.

What is Boise like? I know nothing about Boise or Idaho. Idaho sounds like a place that grows a lot of corn but I could be wrong.

Well I've seen some corn feilds out in Meridian but not a lot in Boise. We mostly grow Potatoes. Its boring, cold and dry. A majority of the time its okay during spring and fall. But Dry heat during the summer and bitter dry cold during the winter. Thats usually what its like here.

Have you travelled much, and how would you compare life in Idaho to other places/areas?

[Jackmoves]

For example, as a Briton who moved to America people may want to know how/why.

What do you miss the most from home(besides family/friends, unless you are a loner ;P)?

@Jackmoves: How often do you have a smorgesboard? (Sorry if this is bad spelling)

Depends really, but in my family it has always been on special occasions such as school graduations, xmas etc. Xmas is the most obvious one though and most families have it on xmas eve. We call that Julbord(Yulebord) and that is as traditional at it comes, a lot of people will go out to resturants(a lot of resturants offer it during xmas season) for Julbord with mates/colleagues as well.

Xmas is called Yule btw, we are still pagan as hell ;P

How is Bristol btw?
I don't know much about that area of England.

i've traveled quite a bit. I think i'd compare Idaho's cold and bitter winters to that of Rhode Island's Winter. But Their summers are compleatly different because of how much wetness is in the air in rhode island. Its because the entire state is surrounded by water. Idaho on the other hand is dry. But their winters are simular.

I'd say Utah and Idaho are a lot alike. Since they are neighboring states.

Hmm, good question. I miss the culture mostly - the UK isn't a sparkling jewel in the sky and has its own boatload of trash, but it is slightly more highbrow than America.

What would you miss if you left Sweden?

[Xanjori]

I don't know much about that area of England.

Bristol is amazing, I think the city has a population of about 130,000, but 50,000 of those are students at the two universities. Therefore its very much a student city, it has bars and pubs open everywhere all the time and is a great place to live. The city centre is even quite pretty and has a couple of cool attractions. I thoroughly enjoyed my 2 years in Bristol and would definitely consider living there permanently.

Directed at ashankt; I've seen a lot of people joke about England having hysterics when it starts snowing, is it true?

One of the jokes for reference: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1Dq_aINJ9U

What's Scotland like, Istaril?

Sounds like a pretty nice place, was it Bristol that got fire bombed in WW2 btw?
