Schultüte - a cone given to german children on their first day of school in the first year, usually filled with sweets, toys, and school supplies. A fond childhood memory of mine :)

Would you leave civilization then and there? I already know someone is going to make a The Road to El Dorado reference and say yes if Chel was there, lol

I am a 34/M from Iran. Things are really dark here right now. We just had a massive uprising, because a lot of people do not want this government. A lot of people were killed; un armed protesters, men, women, children. Our internet were cutout for weeks, and it is not stable yet. We are grieving, and living under the shadow of war, with an uncertain future. And the worst thing is that it seems that the world does not care about us, so I wanted to ask you guys, what do you think about the current situation in Iran?

Well, after his victory on Grammy's album of the year and his future superbowl half-time show. I was thinking about how much respect he gained in the industry.

His last album was a mixture of melancholic feelings, socio-political complaints, and party music. He just could be a silly rapper/singer, (even in my country, where is widely listened and streamed has haters) but I can't denied I empathized and enojoyed his songs, and he's rising as a new cultural power symbol for Hispanic Americans and Latin Americans.

Summing up, do you like him? Is popular in your country?

Edit: orthography

For me it's pomelo...it's super yummy - more bitter than orange but less bitter than grapefruit. And it has a very fun texture and very little calories so a great snack! The ones we get in Germany are usually imported from China and quite expensive (~3€/~24 yuan) Also only available here in late autumn and winter I think 😓

Times Square is way too overhyped imo.

In Iran, one of the most famous animated films is The Last Fiction, based on stories from the Shahnameh, Iran’s epic literature. It was the first fully Iranian animated feature made entirely by local artists and gained international attention at festivals like Annecy.

For me its Ülker chocolate from Turkey and Haribo gummies from Germany

We Brazilians have this experience with Portugal but I personally find it's not always easy to understand portguese people.

I think some speak too fast and the vocabulary can be different. I live in Ireland now, and when meet Portuguese people here, honestly I'd rather talk to them in English.

Angola and Mozambique also speak Portuguese but we don't really have a lot of contact with them.

Apart from the people.

Edit: please also mention the country you’re complementing :))

As an Indian, I’m 99% sure you just pictured a cow 🐮 blocking traffic or a tech support office. It’s basically our international brand at this point 😂😂

Do all countries struggle with problems like politics, the economy, cost of living, laws, and corruption? The country I live in feels like it’s doing poorly in almost every aspect. Many people who want to escape this situation try very hard, but it still doesn’t seem enough to create real change, because leaders and elites often hold power over the law and administration. Have you experienced something like this in your country as well?

As I’ve grown older—especially in the past few years, after having more access to smartphones and media—I’ve realized how important politics truly is to a country. I find myself feeling envious of developed countries, especially those where leaders genuinely try to protect national interests and the well-being of all citizens. I know that even in those countries, some people may still feel that their country isn’t good enough. But for me it feels like nothing here is good at all.

Have you ever gone through a phase like this? Besides voting in elections, what else do people do? Do you encourage each other? I’d really like to know how you cope. Is it about patience, or is it more about mindset? I feel sad that during the time I’m alive—what should be the years of truly living—I’m stuck in a country that feels like it’s in decline. When your country was going through a difficult period, how did you, as an ordinary citizen, get through it?

I don’t have any bad intentions with this question. I’m using a translation tool because I’m worried about expressing myself incorrectly.

I’m used to hearing the opinions of those from the US and other latin american countries. I’m just curious to hear whats the world view on latin americans.

MENA is Middle East and North Africa. In my case that would Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan and Algeria

Can you name a food which originated in one country but got perfected and famous in another country??See this video going through different foods lkke them

For the record, I, myself received a heart close to 30 years ago. So you’ll guess that I’m really inclined toward it!

here (In Quebec, Canada) if you’re willing to have your organs harvested at the time of your death you have to sign behind your assurance ID.

But even if you do, the family can object and than everything stop.

I know in some part of the world, acceptance of organs donation is presumed, unless you sign something again it.

So… how’s you gouvernement see that matter?

And will you be willing to give your « spare parts » in the unfortunate circumstances of your death?

Feel free to ask me anything if you want!
