    There are so many EFL speakers on this forum I don't think you need to worry too much about grammar errors. :)

    Anyway, awesome to find another Finn here. :D Welcome to WF.org!

    Now that would be one helluva mindfuck :D. But for now I'll stick with English. I do now a little bit of Spanish though, would love to get fluent at it someday, love the language. Then who knows, maybe I'll actually write something in Spanish someday, that'll be cool.

    He's a Brit. He thinks they should be subjugated for eternity. Even one breath of the word "independence" angers him.

    My coworker is like that. Avid Brexiteer, thinks the idea of Scottish independence is an anathema. I don't like visiting the Debate Room with him...

    Where in Australia did you visit? I bet it was Melbourne, wasn't it? Those bastards with their most livable city award.

    :D

    Spent a month in Tasmania, then traveled from Melbourne to somewhere north of Emu Park. Only spent a day in Melbourne and a day in Sydney. We spent almost all our time hiking and camping, fantastic place.

    I'm an American living in the U.K.

    Does that count?

    Not sure if it has effected my writing in any discernible way. I suppose it's provided different scenery to be inspired by...

    I hail from the only state to have Saguaro cactus, north of Mexico.

    Or I simply violently fell through the atmosphere, landed face first
    into a place that makes very little sense.

    And now...

    I don't write about hitting the dusty trail on my four legged beast of
    burden, carrying my six guns, wearing a stetson, or chaps. Though I
    can recommend a guy who does, if that is your cup of dirt. :p

    Though I have lived in Virginia, Washington, and Karlsruhe Germany. (Army Brat)
    So I really don't find it all that entertaining to write about the real world.

    Reality is for those who lack imagination. :p

    My way:

    It might be less important. It might be idiotic. But it's my thinking and I'm proud of it.

    Everyone else can disagree if they wan't to. It does not bother me. In democracy they have a right to be wrong.

    Did you meet Young Einstein and/or visit his family's apple farm?
