Welcome to our little grey rock. It has been a warm winter, but if it gets cold enough to snow in your area then your cultural induction to our society is to endure half of the country shutting down in a panic

Congrats on getting out of here! Good luck on the future!

[–] Bonesince1997@lemmy.world 16 points 2 days ago

Good luck to you and your family, Squid. You took action!

I hope y'all can relax soon. I don't regret having left the US years ago; the only hard parts are not being able to see some family much (though Skype and the like help) and certain foods that just don't exist here (less of an issue in the UK than Japan), but copycat recipes can get things close.

Good luck, mate.

I wish you all the best. Be sure to stock up on tea when you're settled.

[–] NegativeLookBehind@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago

Glad you got out.

Welcome! Do you have a football team already or are you going to support Bastard Rovers?

Ugh ... Transatlantic train?

[–] A_A@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

it's a special underwater train especially made for Squids (including Flying ones) and their families 😋
P.S. : Joke aside the title means to say that this is the 12th hour of a 15-hour trip. So this picture is inside a period of 1 hour at the end of the trip.
Best wishes to you Flying Squid 😌

I remember seeing the post about you looking for a job there. Congrats on making it out!

Coming from the land of no public transportation, it was refreshing.

[–] breadsmasher@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

We have trains! At least they exist
