Couldn't handle it?

if it helps, I've been to london and manchester and they, too, are shit

My brother got to go to London, Paris, Brussels, and Rome on a school trip this year >:I

I'm so jealous, I wish I could've gone

I think you'd quite like it. Very good mix of old-young, classic-modern, green-buildings. Lots of history, lots of things to look at.

Yeah, in all seriousness my knowledge on Belgium is limited to

a) waffles
and
b) that one joke in Austin Powers: Goldmember

so I'm looking forward to filling the gap in my knowledge.

Why not travel to Quebec during that instead?

I am le poor.

3,000 to go to France anyway.

3000 what? Yen? No way it costs that many dollar to get to France right?

Its adding up the flight and perfume costs.

Sounds like he plans on buying half of the catalog items on the way back.

Not that i'd know much about the cost of flights from the US/Canada to France. To get to France from here it's a brief train journey under the Channel.

It's about a thousand bucks round trip to to fly over the Atlantic.
Throw around a 200 dollar margin for variation depending on where in Euroland you're going and which airline you fly, obviously.

That question gave me cancer. Wales and England aren't even countries per se, just parts of the United Kingdom. Britain isn't a country either, it's the large island that Scotland, Wales and England comprise. The UK also includes Northern Ireland and the Channel islands, as well as the Isle of Man and the Isle of Wight, plus all of the Scottish islands.

Well I mean, if I asked you to differentiate between Quebec and Ontario with their different regions, would you be able to? Doubtful.

But thanks for letting me know.

At least I know they are within the same country. It's not as if I expected you to name the home counties or anything is it?

To be fair, sovereignty within the UK is pretty convoluted and unclear topic. I know the UK pretty well and still get it confused every so often. Colloquial definitions, political definition, historical definition all tend to differ here. For example, both Wales and England technically most definitely are actual countries with its own government, culture and official languages. Same goes for Great Britain, which despites just being an island is very often used as a synonym for the UK to the point that it even has an actual internationally recognized country code (GB/GBR).

I mean, it may seem simple to you, but this topic is all but a clear one to people outside of the UK. I've even been in chats with multiple British people who all disagreed on what parts were or should be countries and how they all related. I talked to British guys on B.net who didn't even know that England is technically a country, still. Not knowing how exactly it all works or goes together really isn't something that you can blame a foreigner for.

I'll be honest, I have a very low opinion of 90% of humanity, most Brits are total idiots-i've had people in my class ask if England was in London (scary, I know). I don't expect most people in this country to get all of the UK/Britain/GB/etc... stuff right, nevermind anyone from elsewhere. I guess I just tend to expect more from everyone on this site, I don't regard any of you as part of that 90%, you know?

In my defence, the different provinces of Canada are likely on-par with the different countries in the U.K.

Like, the difference between Ontario and Quebec is staggering. Or Nova Scotia. Or B.C.

Well, Canada is a big place after all. Tbh, each 'country' of the British Isles is almost identical-you could walk through every part in a line and you probably wouldn't notice much of a difference.

Yeah so I don't think it's too much to ask for a little understanding when it comes to my knowledge on the British Isles... >.>

I'm in Germany I visited France once no big deal

Well you obviously lack the intellectual requirements to appreciate the French culture.

I'm not saying I didn't like France or didn't appreciate the French culture. Alot of people I know in Europe has gone to France before. I'm just saying that it's not that much of a big deal for me going there because it's somewhat close. I'm actually planning to go again to see the stuff I haven't seen. But I can see how it would be a big deal if the OP is in the U.S. or somewhere farther away.

I just realized that i never traveled out of North America

If you think that's bad; i've never even left these isles

We're also pretty famous for our beer, chocolate, diamonds and fries, so there's that. >_>

Belgian beer is just German beer spelled funny.

Damn, I thought we too had an arrangement to hang out and drink Belgian beers together.

Don't worry, we'll still hang out and pound some Belgian wits, just I'll keep reminding you that it's an inferior, unmalted version of real weisbier thought up by some semi-french non-country.
