Too much winning.

In a couple years you'll be able to read German fluently... Without knowing how to speak it.

It could be that some people simply misunderstand how the election works. They think they're voting for the PM not just a local representative in Parliament.

Oh Amsterdam looks incredible. There's a number of European cities I want to visit including Amsterdam, Berlin, Copenhagen, London etc.

Unfortunately, our plan just includes Paris, then a train ride to Zürich where we'll stay a couple more days before heading home from there. We were planning to have a day trip in Brussels but sadly that didn't go through.

Visiting Paris rn coming from a Car dependent city in Canada.

We shouldn't need cars. We should build our cities to encourage walking and reliable public transport to go farther.

Literally all the major structure in Paris are within short walk + bus ride away from each other. If you got good legs you could probably walk to most of these places. The Louvre, the Eiffel tower, the River, Alexander III bridge, etc.

All with little shops, cafés, and bakeries everywhere if you need a bite to eat.

Hey I had that when I was a kid! Did they just stop teaching computer literacy to kids at some point?

I think at the time they didn't believe a republic could really work for a large expansive country and would just use it for smaller city states. Hence why Florence and Venice and San Marino were Republics but then Naples and Sicily were monarchies.

Imperial Russia was actual chill with the US. But was not so friendly with the British empire.

It knew it couldn't keep Alaska so may as well sell it to the Yankees before the British take it by force.

Lichtenstein also offered to buy it but that deal didn't go through.
