I am currently in Belgrade which is about 600 km north of Albania so i didnt feel any tremor at all. But i heard that it was felt by many Belgrade inhabitants. I am sure that earthquake was very strong in my hometown Podgorica which is very close to the epicentre. I cant imagine that force (6,5) since the most powerfull earthquake i felt was about 5.2.

Crazy thing about earthquakes. 2011 Japan earthquake was so strong that it moved earth axis and shortned duration of day. Whole Earth was shaking at least 1 cm. Imagine that force.

 

One of the more beautiful towns in the Baltic

I agree, Slovakia-Slovenia... 

Thanks, Podgorica is really nice and friendly city. Hope you will visit it.

I’m not one to brag, though I do seem to do it often on here (and that makes me said a bit, because that’s not really my personality, especially when it comes to sports). But I felt the need to #humblebrag right now so:

 

Made it to the California State Geography Bee finals. I qualified out of regionals thanks to my knowledge of Guatemala’s National Bird (the Quetzal). I was eliminated at state finals because I missed two questions (One was about: Which is more likely to live in the Artic, a fossa or a musk ox? And the other was about naming countries that border the Danube River).

 

Safe to say I know a bit geography. I score in the 99th percentile in the US.

 

Also, I don’t think the world is “flate”, not would I ever eat a BigMac in my life. I’m also pretty certain I know the difference between  and . I just made an honest/lazy mistake.

Sydney allows people to drink alcohol after midnight again. It's shocking that a modern day prohibition doesn't work   These bozos needed millions of dollars lost to understand that.

That’s why I’m for the legalization of marijuana, and the establishment of supervised consumption services in the United States. People are going to do drugs. That’s just a fact unfortunately, but we should at least try to offer them as much help as we can. Sydney’s supervised consumption center has been very successful. I’m surprised they had a law like this, especially knowing how much Aussies love their beers.
