*It's like Australia - the classic, broad Aussie accent (which you still hear in outback towns) is a time capsule of an old English poverty class accent from the 1700s and 1800s. Most of the earliest migrants were convicts who came down here on prison ships. So it has been a time capsule and the accent was preserved here even in the cities until about 1980. In the last 40 years the cities are developing a softer accent that is slowly, slowly Americanising. But drive 3 hours into the bush and you're right back in that authentic Australian accent which we call "strine".*
I love my Hartmann Pecan Tweed luggage with belting leather! I have eight pieces now, including two hanging garment bags, a new-model duffel, and a fabulous carry-on. It’s been with me to six continents (Antarctica is my “saving the best for last” choice!) and I anticipate many more tens of thousands of miles to go. Bravo for Hartmann. I was upset when Samsonite bought it from its roots in Tennessee, but not to worry. I’ve since seen it in Harrod’s London and Printemps and Galleries Lafayette in Paris. Roll Tide for the brand. (Yes, I’m an Alabama graduate!)
Texas-shaped waffles are the only waffles I will eat anymore. I don’t care if I’m staying somewhere in Connecticut. If it ain’t a Texas-shaped waffle don’t waste my time.
I worked with a bunch of the best people I ever met and for the first month I asked one guy what language he was speaking I said why do you only say half a word he said and this is true half of what we’re talking about is lies and the rest is not true so you don’t have to listen so long to get to where I’m at I said that actually makes sense the salt of the earth newfies are by When you get drinking with them after a few you fit right in and they don’t let you get away. Brilliant people
The funny thing (or ting) is, I'm from Cape Breton. I lived in Brampton, Ontario for a few years and there were so many people that thought I was from Newfoundland. At the time I was a bit insulted but not now. My great grandfather was from northern Newfoundland and his father or grandfather was from Ireland. So I start to understand what's goin on. I'm descended from Irish immigrants in the year 1756. Where they settled in Twillingate, Newfoundland. I of course never thought I had any sort of "accent" but low and behold I do. Living in the Sydney area, or Cape Breton Regional Municipality, of Cape Breton Island, we have I would say 4 distinct accents in our small area. I find that sort of strange for our small area but I guess it stems from older days when we were seperate and more isolated as communities and the accents stuck. We don't tend to talk as fast as Newfoundlanders though I don't tink.
0:45 I have had afternoon tea at the Royal York Hotel a few times. Walking into the Library Bar, one sees the cake stands on the bar, and they look very impressive. However, having things sit out like can cause some staleness, which we noticed. Hopefully, things are different now that they serve their teas in the lobby. Nice video, thanks.
Try going to La Scie and asking for directions to 'Harrys Harbour ". "Ho yer looking for arrys arbour? Just ead hout of town, angg a left wen you gets to de eyeway....." You get it. ❤
Wow, these Glamping Domes at White Point Beach Resort look like a dream getaway! 😍 Can't wait to experience the luxury and nature all in one place. Thanks for showcasing this gem! By the way, I'm a new subscriber and fellow travel enthusiast over at Amaiwan Traveler, let's connect and share more adventures together!
Why does it sound like irish by way of boston lol. The guy from happy goose bay i know sounds more irish. Like all the affectations of an irish accent without the accent itself.
Hello Caitlin, Ive stayed at Africa on Foot seven times which is an indicator of how it satisfies my want for the genuine Africa safari experience. Its not luxury with air con, servants bringing martinis poolside etc. Ive seen the Big Five five times plus a myriad of diurnal and nocturnal animals on my visits. The experiences are "real" Africa not the tourist visit. I have experienced and learned so much of the fauna and flora from the Guides on the morning bush walks and the afternoon and nightime game drives. The staff are special - caring and kind and each of my stays have been extraordinary in their engagement, entertainment and education. After all thats why I travel. FIVE STARS from me!
Para empezar el azucar suele deshacerse primero con el whisky no con el cafe y para terminar, nada mas ver el color del cafe que le vierte ya me imagino la calidad del "verdadero irish coffe" . La crema por lo menos pone la cucharilla para que se mantenga, es lo unico correcto que veo.
This information is very misleading. I spent 3 nights on that boat and believe me you won’t be cruising on the Chobe River as you’ve imagined, but will spin around the same daily rout for few hours and return to the same docking station for supper. The Queen has enough tuck boats but only 3 skippers and if you are not happy to squish together with the rest of the VIP guests there are many old books to read available in the chill zone. Very friendly crew and excellent chef are somehow squashed by stingy management and gave me a feeling of being in the army not on a vacation. I won’t be a returning guest. Please do your own research. P.S. The Queen is a Namibian vessel and not allowed in Botswana’s waters so they should fix the address on the website as well! Wish you real African Experience 🙏🏼
I'm sorry to hear that was your experience. It sounds like things have changed since I travelled with them. On my trip there were no VIP passengers we were all the same.
I’m from Newfoundland, moved to Ontario over 50 years ago. As soon as I start a conversation people would ask if I’m from Newfoundland. I haven’t lost my accent. My ancestors are from Ireland, Scotland and England United Kingdom.
