You mean the seating inside the restaurants is uncomfortable?
Only McDonalds and other fast food places. Plastic chairs or booths that are also plastic with little cushion for your back; not really comfortable for long periods of time.
McDonalds' is okay here concerning that. Recently they all underwent a make-over to make the place look more modern. They now have more comfy chairs and couches and they generally look more inviting.
I thought that was normal in America. Or at least it was mentioned in the wikipedia article that it was used for fries as well.
Well it might be common in some areas but not all over America. I use to live in Maryland and that's where I picked up the taste for it.
I suppose that's by the sea? Considering it's typically used on sea food, which you probably won't find in Nevada.
Being a student, I am sort of extremely poor. I mean, I do pretty much live from my parents and the governments money.
In the US if you aren't earning much to support yourself and are a college student, you would technically be still a Dependent under your parents for tax purposes even in college up to the age of 24.
Yeah I know how it goes in the US.
If I'm not mistaken people get out of college and university with massive debts sometimes. I heard of one girl who was $100,000 in red after her studies were over and I believe she ended up with a not-so-great job. So she had to live in a crappy apartment for at least the next 20 years or so. You can wonder whether it was worth it for her.

Auz thinks that some people's Dutch accents sound German. This could be interesting.
Now I'm really curious!
Well what I said was that when people pretend to be Dutch in films, they often take on a German accent instead in the assumption that Dutch looks like German.

Bit of a long story to read all of that, but it looks like they went through an important time there in Hamburg.
You could've just searched for the "Kaiserkeller" there. :P
I think Lennon once said: "I was born in Liverpool, but I grew up in Hamburg."
I thought I was supposed to read everything. Which would be an interesting read I'm sure, but it's a bit on the long side :p
Anyway, some of the stories in there are hilarious. Especially if you keep in mind how big they have become later.
There you have it. It's Amsterdams red light district of which everybody in Holland knows about, but I'm sure that it isn't as well known as we think it is abroad.
Well, as I've said, I've only been to Amsterdams airport yet.
You could've heard of it somehow.
If you actually take a weekend to visit the city I think you will find it or hear about it eventually.
You should go there someday. It's a very nice city with lots of things to see. And with lots, I mean lots.
Yes, my wife was there once and she liked it as well.
About everyone does. As far as I know it's about the only major city in France worth seeing though.
Oh I see. I'd find it a bit odd to go to a bar next to a hookers house, but I suppose it's handy for all those drunks who are feeling lonely :p
It's called "entertainment district" for a reason. ^^
There are also a few theatres on the Reeperbahn, but of course they wouldn't exactly show something like McBeth there...
The only annoying thing about those... "ladies" standing on the streets is that they tend to grab you. I hate that. If they would only "ask" me to go with them I could simply ignore them. But grabbing my clothes? Dammit...
The only time they don't bother you is when there's a female person with you. ^^
Oh God. Yeah that's quite annoying. I can imagine a fight breaks out over that every once in a while. But hey... they're just doing their job.
Funny thing is that sometimes I only find Dutch websites for a certain phrase. In that case, I know it's definitely wrong :P
Lol, I know what you mean. In Germany the term "happy end" is very common, when in fact it is called "happy ending" in english.
So you get a shitload of hits on websites ending with .de :p
40 pounds? I think you didn't buy the right tickets then. Last summer me and my gf bought a 30 pounds card with which could travel with the bus and the subway for as much as we liked for six days.
It's a special bus line that only stops at the airports. And it's 20 Pounds for a single ticket, that makes 40 pounds for two tickets.
I'm sure it would've been cheaper if you went via the subway and the busses. I don't know how close they will take you to the airport though, but I suppose they will bring you there.

Well there would be no more need for prisons and we could do with less police. That'd save some cash.
Yeah, I feel Britain needs to do more capital punishment in this country. There are far too many criminals in prison and most of them need to be ridden of.
I think here the prisons are quite empty, but we're letting too many go unpunished. Like recently we let a guy get away with rape because the girl was dressed too 'invitingly' or something. I know some girls are dressed like sluts, but you still oughta keep your hands off asshole.
I would like to pick up the Bunny Hood though, to get around faster. For the other masks it probably does not matter that much for the difficulty of the game whether you gather them or not.
Yeah, I can pick that up if I remember what to do again.
Won't spoil anything, but it wasn't hard. Though you do need another mask first.
Yeah, most don't have such a short timespan either. Often it's going back and forth between different era's in time without having influence on little events.
You have games like Chrono Trigger that let you travel in certain time zones but then you have Majora's Mask.
Chrono Trigger did it pretty well too in my opinion. It was nice how you could walk around a prehistoric world, a medieval world, the future etc. and how the story was tied together.
Well it was fun that you could explore the whole world and go where you please. But Kefka is locked up in his tower and won't show his face again until the end and aren't any other big events anymore from that point onwards IIRC.
Kefka was to be feared considering his light of judgment.
I can't recall that...

A mid life crisis at 21. That's sad. Even though I'm 28 in just over a week, it would still be sad to have a mid-life crisis this early.
Of course I meant you at age 27 having a mid-life crisis :p
It'd be sad, but I can see it happening to some people.
