Soon, very soooon...

I was kind of shocked when I first realized that Quebec and New Brunswick actually shared a significant land border with the US--I'd never really paid any attention to that part of the map before since I'm at the other end of the country, and the whole Niagara Falls half-in-Canada-half-in-the-States bit sort of got me used to thinking of the St. Laurence as the dividing line between us. Which is obviously stupid when you give it any thought because Montréal is firmly Canadian and straddles the bloody thing and you can plainly see the mouth of the St. Laurence being firmly in Quebec on any map, but your brain makes strange assumptions sometimes. I don't know what I thought of New Brunswick--maybe that it was some kind of peninsula? Whatever I thought I'm sure it made no sense.


But anyway, I'm in BC; lived here all my life, though I've moved around a bunch within it. Currently living in Nanaimo on Vancouver Island.

I've been to the one in St. Charles a few time and the one in south county once.
I've never played there. I inherited a bunch of cards I've built some decks out of but all of them would fall under Legacy or Vintage but aren't loaded with "daddy's money" cards so I doubt they would be too competitive.
Went over St. Charles a few months ago for some swamps and the dude gave me like 500 basic land of all colors for free.
That was pretty sweet.
Chesterfield is pretty sweet also. Years ago I worked at the Casa Gallardo up by the mall on my journey to chefdom.

At least Austin got the honor of holding the new US Grand Prix.
Missed out on the extra funds to attend this year again.
Shooting for next year.

wow non-americans are outnumbered 1 to 20

I lived:
1987-2001: Italy
2001-2013: Iran
2013-now: Japan

i was born in victoria, BC and have lived there my whole life (im 20)

my high school orchestra did a tour of europe for 17 days and i really want to go back. i have my TESL certificate and was hoping to end up in germany or northern france or one of the little countries in between.

ive always wanted to go to japan as well but the school im working for doesnt have any institutes in japan

Wow, 3 countries with 3 different languages, and you manage to speak English on these boards too.

Also, what was Iran like?

Interested also.
I've heard that Farsi is a difficult language to pick up.

Actually no. The head of education pushed for no child left behind after implementing it in Texas.

I never spouted off about it. You brought it up and I countered.
And sorry, the south has a history of racism. That doesn't just disappear
No one in the north thinks "oh everyone in the south is in the KKK"

sins of the father and all that

زبان فارسى بسيار آسان است

But then again, I speak Dari not Farsi, so some may have differing opinions...but they are super similar mostly vocab differences and a few pronunciation changes. For instance in persent tense verb conjugation Farsi tends to pronounce the prefix like "mee" whereas Dari tends to lean towards "may". And Farsi's letter V is Dari's letter W. A good chunk of English speakers dont grasp the verb at the end of the sentence thing very well or the way nouns and adjectives fit, but for anyone who's dabbled in spanish you'll see similarity.

Instead of saying "I went to my red car" the sentence would be written as "I to my car-red did-go". But once you start getting better with the verb conjugation you'll find that since the verb changes based on person and tense, that you dont even need to say the 'I' at the beginning of the sentence, because the verb is in the first person past tense. So it'd actually be more like "to car(mine)-red did-go(me)"

*shrug*

If you want an awesome language to learn, check out Korean though. The most organized and easy language that I've started learning yet.

Born in North County, St. Louis. Lived in Japan for a year, Norfolk Va. for 2 and a half years. Now I'm like 60 miles west of St. Louis, in da country.

Sigh...
I started learning German and Russian when I was in the gifted program in grade school but did not pursue it.
Wish I would have. I'm 45 now and doubt I have it in me to learn another language.

I took mexican in high school, failed miserabley. I picked up a good bit of Japanese, that's a fun language!

mexican what? history?

I think he meant spanish *shrug*

I aced Spanish in highschool, cant speak a word of it now. Every time I try to speak any Spanish I accidentally mix in Dari because my brain shortcuts to the fastest thing.

Ah, give him a break. I know from the DOTP forum that budder is drinking tonight.
Mexican.
That is funny. My Wife had a chuckle at that also.

Lol! Ya I consider it mexican. When I think of spanish I think of those guys in europe doing the Inquisition thing and stuff.

I'm from Manchester, England. Any one else here from the United Kingdom or is it just going to be me on my lonesome again?

Carstien is in Manchester.

I didn't know that. Guess that made like three of us on the old forum then. With any luck there will be enough of us here to take over and brutally enforce a cruel regime of tyrannical dictatorship have a proper tea time. Totally the second thing I said.
