Gives new meaning to "Down Under", doesn't it? Now I'm hungry for cake for some reason.

If it falls on my birthday again, then you better. Reminder: birthdate is September 5th. Next year will be a milestone one.

Works . . . well, that's too soon to tell. (I start week 2 on the meds today, and it takes generally 4-6 weeks before they work.) But it means I've started the process, and that's what matters. For now.

Yes, many Portuguese words have been incorporated to Japanese language, like "Cruz" (Cross), "Kuruzu" in Japanese. There are many interesting others. By the way, Brazil is the second Japanese nation in the world. There are millions of Japanese-Brazilians.

Pteranodon is down there somewhere, too, but I haven't seen her on here in a while.

I'm thinking about retiring to Brazil in 15 years. I'll have to dig into the nitty gritty details as the years pass, but I think the weather & cost of living would be perfect for this spinster. Argos, will you still remember me then?

I've thought about Mexico or India as options, too.

You mean you don't want to move to Arkansas, where you can be hit on by 15 year olds at star parties?

You could do much worse than that...

But, looking at the map, this forum is really light in Asia, Africa, and South America. On a per capita basis, it looks like it is reaching New Zealand hundreds or maybe a thousand times as much as Asia...

Yes, sure I´ll remember you. I have the memory of an elephant.

Brazil, Mexico, India, what would be your motives? You must live in a wonderful place, I think.

Mexico is perhaps the best place to live out my dying days in comfort. I don't want to be one of those old people that has to rely on the government to see me into the grave. I don't want to be a bitter old person complaining about this and that. I want to take my nest egg and live like a queen.

Without the overrepresentation in Europe, the BAUTer distribution pretty well matches the Anglosphere.

Non-English speaking BAUTers, put yourself on the map!

BTW, I'm not convinced that the users in Greenland or Africa are real...
