If you move to America and become a shut in, then you're not doing America right.

You would be doing America like an American.....

Just say you once shook hands with Nelson Mandela and you had a giraffe living in your back yard.

Have a picture of the garaffe and you. Talk about how you found him as a baby after poachers had killed his parents and how you hand raised him. When he was old enough you released him to the wild. But you miss him so much.

That would take care of exotic, loves animals, parenting ability, nurturing.... Gonna get laid.

Sometimes in the morning, nursing my coffee in the kitchen and looking out across the savannah, the giraffe herds would wander across the horizon and I would see my little guy. Happily striding amongst them. I like to imagine he remembers me still.

Getting more serious, I was looking at my lifes collection of clothes and stuff and things. How on earth will I pack it all in 2 * 23 Kg and one 13 Kg carry on. I read somewhere that if you get a one way ticket you can maybe get extra luggage allowance. 160 dollars for an extra 23 Kg.

Some things are expensive enough that they are probably worth shipping (My PC). Some things are probably worth selling and just rebuying in the states(My PS4). I'm not a big clothes or shoes guy but still one pair gym, formal, casual and boots suddenly take up a hell of a lot of space. Most clothes are not a problem but I have 2 not inconsiderably warm and large jackets that I love which will be a problem.

I must find out what cheaper options for shipping exist. I suppose I can also have family or friends bring me some things each time they visit. I really don't have a lot of stuff but when you contemplate moving it all you realise how much it is.

I will also now be kind of stuck. Cant really make any big purchases or make any big decisions until I know where I will be in a years time.

In America these numbers mean nothing.

I'm going to emigrate to America. Run for senate. Get the votes to change the law and run for president. Introduce the metric system. When I die they will demolish Mt Rushmore and replace it with Mt Cause!

The Metric system has been introduced. The problem is that nobody wants to bother with it.

[Mentalist]

I dunno, cause. According to "Demolition Man" America still owes us President Schwarzenegger.

You may change the law, but I suspect you won't be the one to reap the benefits.

[Malankazooie]

It goes President Cause. Then President Camacho.



Can't wait until 'Ow! My Balls!' premiers sometime in that glorious future.

Yeah it is 200 if you are over the weight limit of 50 pounds, an extra bag is 35 - 60 depending on airline. Thus 160 has no value.

Spanish seems like a nice language to learn. Same alphabet, many similar words. Similar sentence structure. Much better than Japanese.

Learn Russian. It will allow you to serve the ones who ultimately run our country. Sure Spanish will allow to talk to 1/4 of the population.

But they will all soon be behind a big wall.

Re cross border travel.... check and recheck, and bring all your docs with you, have copies on your phone. Getting out is easy, getting back in, can go any which way.

Relatedly, do not have anything on your phone or other device you are not 100% ok with a border officer looking at. Or otherwise in your possession. No form of guns, drugs, porn. Just don’t.

That said once you're there, visit Canada.
