What's a pineapple?

[–]gogoluke 4ポイント5ポイント  (1子コメント)

Live anywhere just be vigilant there are no "no go areas" Well except for price. Even a shack in a garden will cost several hundred pineapples a week. All areas have sold pineapple since the Victorian era and probably before, taking them on the tube can vary, as some trains are beautiful and shiny and others festering pineapple disintegrating flea pits. No one will care if you are Jewish except other Jews so they can invite you to Friday night dinner - take a pineapple to amaze your guests. As for being a septic, again no one will care unless you talk about pineapple all the time... or believe Hersheys is better chocolate than a Whisper.

But how many pineapples will I be taxed per year?

That's quite impressive that you think one of the biggest and most diverse cities in the world wouldn't have something as mundane as pineapple.

I'm from Florida. Britons make up one of the largest groups of tourists here, numbering in the tens of millions. Yet most that I have interacted with (quite a lot) have never tasted or seen a real pineapple. And these people are almost always from London (they always make sure to tell you, Londoners are sort of like vegans that way). It isn't my fault that the majority of Britons I have met are as cultured as a turd.

I don't really know how to reply to that except I guess that the type of Brits who holiday in Florida are probably the most hilariously inept and unadventurous in the entire country. I'm still shocked though.

It's quite possible. They were often fascinated by some of the most mundane and uninteresting things. They will even walk around WalMart like its a museum. It's entertaining sometimes.

Dude, Walmart is a fucking museum. Have you seen how many different types of breakfast cereal they sell? Or how many aisles are filled to the top with halloween shit for three solid months of the year? There's an aisle full of "candy", and then another aisle for the same stuff but with peanut butter in them too.

No idea what a pineapple is, though.

You're so obsessed with dicks I think you may have become one.

How do I not make people hate me? The impression I get from the English I see online is that Americans are viewed as uncultured, unintelligent, annoying, and very disliked. How can I combat that so I don't get blown off or mistreated?

This answer to this is not to ask stupid fucking questions like you then proceeded to do, thus showing yourself to be uncultured, unintelligent and annoying.

Do some research of you own before you make yourself look even more stupid. Did you even make it as far as reading any of the resources this subreddit has to offer?

Ah, I remember when father brought home the first pineapple after rationing had ended. He placed it in the corner of the living room and all the neighbours came round to look at it. In some of the poorer areas they couldn't afford such luxuries so had to fashion their own out of coconuts.

Come with the attitude that no one country (including the UK or the US) has the answer to the worlds problems and you'll go far. Talk softly (the N American accent tends to be naturally loud and grating on our ears) and you'll go further still.

Where is a good place to live that's somewhat affordable but not going to get me stabbed? In the US you can find very cheap city apartments, but they're almost always in bad areas.

There's no such thing. Stabbings can happen anywhere. Recommending a place to live doesn't really work because London sprawls a lot and thus it depends on where you're gonna work.

What is the tube like? Is it clean like the DC metro? Or is it something out of a horror movie like the NYC subway?

I find the NYC subway absolutely fine to be honest, ditto London Underground. Without the tube, London wouldn't function.

Can I find tropical fruits in the market? I'm from a very tropical region of the US and can't live without my pineapple.

Yes, at vast expense. The tinned version is cheaper, but it'll hurt your wallet.

How bad is antisemitism in London? I have a friend who lived in Paris and basically had to hide the fact that he was Jewish. Any reason for concern?

Apart from Ken Livingstone, it's relatively fine. My Jewish friends don't tend to go out of the way to advertise their religion, but they don't hide it either. You'll find a concentration of Jews in Golders Green in N London if it's of interest. London has quite a few Synagogues scattered around.

Fair enough. Free world and all that; formatting tastes vary. :)
