[steel escarp]

Fs

[thorny light]

[oblique crater]

bro accidentally became the CTO

[placid dawn]

wanna bet

[thorny light]

[steel escarp]

Lool 7 months is prob new grad or junior or fresher

[thorny light]

saved a lot of money

but still looks super sketchy on my resume

[steel escarp]

U can start for sde 2 with 2 years

[dark portal]

i'll bet the $1 in my tfsa... deal?

[placid dawn]

recruiters dont rly care. just apply everywhere

[steel escarp]

Just put like swe in title

[placid dawn]

all they care is can u inverse a tree

[thorny light]

yeah so i was wondering about that

[steel escarp]

It will look like a normal dev job

[dark portal]

just get a mirror bro

[thorny light]

can i call myself software engineer or is that a protected term here

[steel escarp]

Swe

[thorny light]

rn i just used software sev

A lot of ppl doesnt have the right degree and got swe offer

[placid dawn]

a lot of people dont have a degree and get swe offer

[steel escarp]

[placid dawn]

prime Minister?

[thorny light]

ive done construction project management

hated the hours

[steel escarp]

Imagine talking to ppl ewwwww

[thorny light]

can imagine itd be similar

[oblique crater]

just get on zoom meetings and assign story points to your devs

[steel escarp]

Be like hey developers how many points u think this story will have?

[dark portal]

No. i was a gender studies major. How many times do I need to tell you this?

[steel escarp]

Thats the stupiest question ever

[steel escarp]

Sorry ... i forgot u major in everything

[fickle juniper]

not everyone on this server is a cs major

for example I'm in communications

[thorny light]

ok you guys got my confidence up now i feel like i should start applying again

[steel escarp]

Liar

[thorny light]

i just feel like a fraud lol

[steel escarp]

👀

[thorny light]

but deoesnt matter lets goooo

[fickle juniper]

[steel escarp]

I gotta find it

[thorny light]

[fickle juniper]

Too stupid to get a degree

[dark portal]

Don't worry i failed a basket weaving diploma

[fickle juniper]

damn you could be at the Google of basket weaving

missed opportunity

[placid dawn]

[fickle juniper]

and wait for recession end

[fickle juniper]

https://jobs.netflix.com/location?slug=toronto-canada

For canada?

[dark portal]

[tight gale]

Haha same

[craggy moth]

Lot of competition in Canada

[placid dawn]

bra why PCL always reject

construction company

[dark portal]

"just be good bro"
"just have 9 previous internships bro"
"just go to u of t or loo bro"

[tight gale]

Why?

Ohh damn another one

[sterile dirge]

Oh I heard that companies usually re-use the same listing over the years, so that number is not representative of all the current applicants

[vivid fiber]

But it says it was posted 7days ago

[sterile dirge]

Oh yeah

could be the latest date it was revived but idk

[dark portal]

I'll see all of you at Cisco as interns next year

[tight gale]

Yea same

[tawny zephyr]

ayyy same

[boreal sentinel]

huh ur in high school

[analog current]

this kid

[tawny zephyr]

I am actually a teenager

I turned into a teenager yesterday so could you please refer to me as what I am

[analog current]

i’m technically a teenager too but i’m at least in uni

i’ll be turning 20 this december

[tawny zephyr]

WE ARE THE SAME!

[tawny zephyr]

for now

[analog current]

no.

[tawny zephyr]

[dark portal]

Hey Toronto folk, any good restaurant recommendations? 👀 here for a week !

Awesome thanks! 😁

[boreal sentinel]

Illstyl3 Sammies they have a really good philly cheesesteak

[gloomy nymph]

Any good, high paying companies in Calgary?

For SWE

Or any companies that do remote anywhere in Canada?

[cursive blaze]

Think there’s quite a few especially if you’re open to full-time remote

[gloomy nymph]

yeah full time remote would be ideal

I would do remote from Banff

[cursive blaze]

Fair yeah there’s quite a few, lots of Canadian companies and American ones are pretty remote friendly

[gloomy nymph]

Ideally I would like a Canadian company, since I'm international

[tight gale]

Amazon

[gloomy nymph]

lowkey considering it, ideally an AWS position

AWS cryptography

[placid herald]

Alberta is speeding up immigration process for tech workers rn

[cursive blaze]

https://www.failory.com/startups/canada-unicorns

Not sure the financials for every company on the list given the current economic climate

But it’s a good list in general imo

Also Jobber is a great org in Alberta. Have a lot of friends there

[gloomy nymph]

nah fuck startups

[cursive blaze]

Fair I mean some of these are no longer startups tho

[gloomy nymph]

1Password would be cool since I want to do cryptography

[gloomy nymph]

ah then i'll apply to those

[cursive blaze]

I’m at Clio myself and really enjoy it!

Pretty great organization

[gloomy nymph]

what does clio do?

[cursive blaze]

Software for law firms

[gloomy nymph]

I'd suppose secrecy is of utmost importance within law firms, do they have a cryptography/security team?

[cursive blaze]

Yeah we do but honestly all tech orgs should have one 🤣

It’s quite common to at least have one internal security team

[gloomy nymph]

eggscellent

[oblique crater]

not allowed to live in banff without having a job inside the town or national park

Canmore is just outside the national park and doesn't have that restriction, I'm deadass considering that as a viable plan rn

[gloomy nymph]

Oh ffs

[oblique crater]

nah it makes sense, otherwise the town would just be retired rich folks and the housing is super limited in there anyways

[vivid fiber]

There's probably some cryptography/security team at every medium-big tech company

[steel escarp]

U want to come to calgary? 🤣

[dark portal]

I worked as a Software Automation developer

What team?

It was alright

Nothing too good tbh

I'm liking my time at ibm alot more now

[steel escarp]

right cuz ibm gives u free alcohol everyday

[fickle juniper]

I didn’t but I applied yesterday

[dark portal]

Lol the doctor said I have to lay off the alcohol

And I think I'm just gonna stop drinking tbh

Got very close to alcohol poisoning the other day

[steel escarp]

sounds like u had a good time

LOL

[placid herald]

I have never tried alcohol in my life

[dark portal]

Hey pussy, how much do you drink?

/s

[vivid fiber]

I try 2 nvr get drunk

[dark portal]

Honestly bro, keep it that way

[vivid fiber]

Most I've ever had is a few shots

[dark portal]

I had half a bottle of whiskey, 2 beers, and 7 cups of wine that night

No. Sorry. Not half, but a quarter

[vivid fiber]

Bruhhh

[dark portal]

Yup. My drinking days are over

[azure vortex]

is anyone going to Montreal

which company

[dark portal]

I'll be there on the August 1 long weekend

[azure vortex]

💀 i meant for internship

fall 2022

[dark portal]

Which company did yoy get?

[gloomy nymph]

Yeah. It’s perfect for my running and hiking addiction

[steel escarp]

arent u in ottawa rn?

or someone else 👀

[gloomy nymph]

I was

[steel escarp]

calgary > ottawa 👀

change my mind

but still vancouver is the best

[azure vortex]

toronto is garbage

[gloomy nymph]

that is true tbh

calgary has tons of green areas, no noise, minimum degens compared to ottawa/toronto

1 hr bus ride to Banff/Canmore

[boreal sentinel]

toronto is the best

[placid dawn]

regina > rest of canada

[boreal sentinel]

https://tenor.com/view/toronto-cntower-downtown-6ix-gif-22306809

[gloomy nymph]

ok sauga simp

[boreal sentinel]

u wish

ffs

[steep nimbus]

💀👀

[dark portal]

Toronto is such a dogshit city fellas

I'm sorry

I hate this entire windsor - Toronto corridor

Anything east of Oshawa is nice

[fickle juniper]

Vancouver

Is the best

I’m 100% biased

[tight gale]

Nah ur right vancouver is the best

[dark portal]

Nah Montreal is too goated

[azure vortex]

what do u like about montreal

curious what types of things would be good to check out in fall

[dark portal]

The bars, clubs, biodome, areas around the McGill campus, Notre Dame, Old Port, and if you want to really wanna be immersed in French, then go to Longueil or Boucherville (although those are a bit far from downtown)

[tight gale]

French omegalul

[dark portal]

What's that mean?

Yeah it's nice

[azure vortex]

i know like 0 french

[dark portal]

Dude, the bars around st Denis in downtown are so fucking nice

[azure vortex]

imma try to befriend some mcgill students

[tight gale]

1 of the classes I thought was pointless esp in BC, it's more beneficial to learn other languages

[dark portal]

Do you want to learn French?

[azure vortex]

living in quebec for 4 months, it probably would be helpful to know a bit right?

also in general i think its helpful as a life skill? idk

if i ever visit europe or something

[dark portal]

I'd do it bro. You'll get the full experience, and people will take it very positively

Yeah lol

[azure vortex]

i took french in grade 9/10/11 as elective but our teachers were really bad

so i know like scraps

[dark portal]

I always respond in French, but let them know that I'm not fluent in French

[azure vortex]

i guess i can try to duolingo + practice on the local populace

[dark portal]

Good enough to get you started tbh. I think if you live in a very French area, you'll make good strides

[dark portal]

Do it

[azure vortex]

also i think my team might partially communicate in french

💀

[steel escarp]

yoo

amazon canada sent out oa

[azure vortex]

fr or trolling

[azure vortex]

pog gratz

i didnt get one 😔

[steel escarp]

a week ago

[azure vortex]

do they send them in waves

[steel escarp]

last year

this is ng

[tight gale]

Goodluck !

[azure vortex]

oh its ng

[dark portal]

Yeah so there you go, I'd definitely try to learn some french

[steel escarp]

tyty

[azure vortex]

gratz

[dark portal]

Bro I still have to do fucking leetcode lol

[steel escarp]

shit first time amazon oa

feels like a virgin

[azure vortex]

i dont care when they release it, i just hope i get one 😔

[dark portal]

@steel escarp have you been leetcoding?

[steel escarp]

no

thats the sad thing

imma spam lc from now own

fk work

[azure vortex]

once i start getting summer callbacks ill grind leetcode harder

my bottleneck is interviews rn

wtf

what is this for

this is like that one meme

with the couch

you know what nevermind

[tight gale]

[cursive blaze]

Kinda weird to have that many people

Could be some folks maybe sitting in on the interview process? Like prepping to give interviews themselves who knows

[azure vortex]

on a serious note yeah probably most will just be watching

thats often the case

like there could be 1-2 people asking you questions and the rest are just people from your future team who are also evaluating you silently or something

or HR people

🙂

good luck

[untold nebula]

bruh, this is so many

good luck tho

[past cloud]

Didn't even know blackberry was open. Is there a good source for canadian internship listings?

oh lmao! kind of based tho

I've been using that and the pittcsc thing

oh is blackberry for fall/winter?

ah, I'm applying for summer rn

I've got 2 OAs to do

SIG, citadel

thanks lol

trying to grind lc

oh yeah I have to apply to the other roles there. I quickly got rejected from ML data engineer saying they couldn't sponsor me 😢

[placid dawn]

yo wtf

[oblique crater]

rip

[placid dawn]

how strict is zon with multi accounts

[tight gale]

They merge accounts

[placid dawn]

fuk it im not giving up

i knew I took a risk changing the resumes

[analog current]

mmm

good strategy

keep spamming apps till u either 1. get oa 2. get blacklisted

shoulda done that last cycle smh

[placid dawn]

ill change my name my family my life

all for amazon oa

[tawny zephyr]

lmaooo mood

[placid dawn]

afaik its extremely hard to get blacklisted from faang companies

[analog current]

good

i want Amazon OA man 😭

i havent applied

im ✨ tailoring ✨ my resume

and sucking dick for referrals

any referral is easy, but im looking for a good referral

and also trying to find out where recruiters live so i can knock on their doors and ask them for OAs

[placid dawn]

rng

[placid dawn]

hey it could always be worse

imagine going thru 10 rounds of interviews and then getting your offer rescinded from some company

[oblique crater]

anyone wanna review my resume pretty please

[craggy moth]

#resume

[oblique crater]

I want the canadian gigachads

I posted in #resume as well

redacted some personal info as well

[analog current]

brother

yes

can i dm?

ya im just hoping its reduces the randomness a bit

[azure vortex]

does amazon referral work after you already applied?

[oblique crater]

^^

[spring wren]

did any canadians get amazon oa yet?

[deep swift]

wait can we submit amazon referral after i applied?

or do i have to get referral before i apply

oh wait im stupid and ddint read

nevermind

[craggy moth]

dont bold all the skills

[past cloud]

didn't realize amazon canada was open...

[solemn steeple]

Amazon told me they couldn't attach a referral after I applied, but then I got a referral and they said it was attached anyways so idk

[eternal fossil]

yeah they say you can go on your profile and add it

but cap

[placid dawn]

no but i sure got a rejection

[prisma garnet]

did you apply for 2022?

[prisma garnet]

I haven't got it yet as well

[lucid berry]

On Reddit, some Canadians got it

[spring wren]

holy shit

i got the oa

just now

[summer matrix]

@spring wren when did you apply? SDE or intern

[spring wren]

intern

well i didnt get oa yet but soon

applied july 1st i think

[summer matrix]

I applied on July 15

No oa

I hope one internship at a bank suffices for sde resume screening

[spring wren]

they sent the official oa just now

[azure vortex]

gratz

i applied july 2 no oa

i think apply date might not matter

[summer matrix]

Does resume actually matter

[azure vortex]

do they send them all at once

i.e. if i didnt get it rn can i assume i wont get it today

[boreal sentinel]

i want oa

[misty inlet]

Same here
I applied on 2nd and still haven't gotten an OA 🥲

Got a survey instead yesterday 😅

[whole tide]

In terms of learning opportunities and money, does anyone have anything to say about IBM Canada for new grads?? Maybe friends who have worked there or something

[south rose]

Any TN holders here/

has anyone talked to a taxed advisor regarding working from canada sometimes if u have a remote job

[barren sinew]

Are you meant to be working remotely from the US or from Canada?

[south rose]

US.

I'm US employed.

[barren sinew]

I talked to a tax consultant and they mentioned that Canada considers you a resident based on things like residency, your connection to Canada, etc.

[south rose]

wait can u expand more on that

[barren sinew]

I'm no expert so please talk to a consultant but from what I remember, the US considers you a resident based on how many days you've lived in the US which is something like 180 days in the last few years. canada's rules are less rigid. They look into your ties with Canada

[south rose]

yeah that's what i found online aswell thanks

did they mention anything regarding remote work?

[barren sinew]

Not in detail. Other than that I should log them

[south rose]

There's also some law that protects us from being double taxed

[barren sinew]

Yea they that's true. They went over that

But again not in detail

[south rose]

tho i wonder if its illegal for me to to canada for say 3 weeks and work remotely for a bit from home?

did u pay them

if so how much

[vivid fiber]

I knew a guy who worked as an IBM ng for 2 years and is now working for a big Unicorn

He said that he had a gr8 team with a super cool techstack

[barren sinew]

No my employer did. I still have 1.5 hrs worth of consultation. I might ask them this

[vivid fiber]

So honestly ymmv

[south rose]

if you can share the response 🙏

ask about how remote work would work in Canada and outside the US

any TN Visa issues

[barren sinew]

Sure. This is something I'm interested in too. However I might not have my next consultation for a bit

[south rose]

yeah no worries but if u do please share 🙏

ill probably talk to someone as well

[fickle juniper]

I remember hearing that a bunch of the IBM Ottawa folks ended up at Shopify if ur into that

[whole tide]

Yeah but why do they leave so early. Bunch of new grads don’t even stay up to 2 years (so I heard) I’m just wondering if it’s even worth it

[fickle juniper]

Probably just found a better opportunity?

[whole tide]

I would like to stay at my new grad job for at least 3 years before switching,

[oblique crater]

the advantages of job hopping early were even better when the market was hot

[vivid fiber]

You don't have to job hop

[oblique crater]

some devs got very good pay bumps leaving 1-3 years after starting

[vivid fiber]

It's up to the person

[barren sinew]

Cool. If you find out lemme know

[south rose]

2 years is long tho

I would leave 1.5 years in tbh

Also depends on you

If you want more growth u switch

[oblique crater]

I'd say 2 years at a really decent company is my sweet spot

[south rose]

Yeah 1.5 to 2 years

Is my recommendation

Max 2 years tho

[steel escarp]

Why ibm when u can get neo

7fig fintech lcol

[tight gale]

Why neo when you can get hrt

[steel escarp]

Neo > hrt

[eager kindle]

coursera just sent the same rejection email to me 3 times... each time i got shook bc i thought it was from the company im waiting to hear back from :' ))

[tight gale]

[fickle juniper]

I heard Coursera filled up?

[summer matrix]

Does amazon send out oa every week

[deep swift]

did anyone get a confirmation email from amazon after they applied? I just realized i never got one and was wondering if thats something to be concerned about

lmaoo bet

[elder hamlet]

yeah how long from application -> OA?

[summer matrix]

Idk

I applied on July 15

No oa yet

[analog current]

Any non faang companies that pay 100+ for new grad?

[tight gale]

Yea mindgeek

[vivid fiber]

They pay like 70~80k or smth

[analog current]

Best workplace

[vivid fiber]

Actually horrible wlb apparently

[analog current]

Oh rlly

Cuz u just stare at the models?

[vivid fiber]

Stripe, Databricks, Instacart, Snap, Sentry, Rippling, Shopify

[vivid fiber]

I heard that for testing they replace thr videos with cat vids

[analog current]

Oh thx, will look at those. Heard good things abt Stripe

[analog current]

lmao actually? Thats hilarious

[elder hamlet]

shopify but not rn ig lol

[analog current]

Everyone that interned at shopify that I met didn't have the best experience

[elder hamlet]

well i had a great experience

its team dependant

[analog current]

I'm at amz rn and have a great team, but wanna change locations

[elder hamlet]

damn bc?

[analog current]

Yea. The weather is so shit here

[elder hamlet]

vancouver weather > toronto weather

[analog current]

Nah

It rains like every fkin week here

Half the places don't have an AC

[elder hamlet]

yea but ur winters r waaaay better

[analog current]

I love the snow in TO

Its better than rain

When it rains u gotta change out of clothes and shower and shit. But with snow u can just brush it off and be on your way

[worldly ridge]

why terrible WLB

t_t

[vivid fiber]

Just what I've heard

[fickle juniper]

U seem to have done a lot of research on mindgeek @vivid fiber 👀

[prisma garnet]

got rejected by amazon doesn't even have an OA... why

[fickle juniper]

I got rejected by zon internship too, though I think it's cuz of grad date for me

[prisma garnet]

I'm graduating in Aug 2023 though...

so it should be within the time

if I'm not reading it incorrectly

[fickle juniper]

for amazon internship u need at least one more sem after it no?

[prisma garnet]

no it's not internship, it's the ng post

[fickle juniper]

ohhhh

idk about that

[prisma garnet]

I'm off to a great start ain't I

[fickle juniper]

did u apply to 2023? Or 2022?

[prisma garnet]

2023

[fickle juniper]

did u apply to US or Canada?

[prisma garnet]

both lol.. could it be a problem :/

[fickle juniper]

did u get rejected to the Canada position?

[prisma garnet]

both

[fickle juniper]

ohh interesting

[prisma garnet]

yeah so idk what's happening

cause I didn't even had an OA

[fickle juniper]

cuz i think zon doesn't really sponsor canadians anymore

but that shouldn't affect the canada app

that's really weird

[prisma garnet]

I'm not sure if that's because I'm not from Canada, but I don't actually need work sponsorship

I can get a work permit myself without any sponsorship. So it'll be strange if that's the reason

[fickle juniper]

I think u can still apply to the sde 1 positions

[prisma garnet]

hmmm, so the industry post instead of the student program?

[fickle juniper]

yeah

there are ppl who get into those right after undergrad

[prisma garnet]

guess I'll try

[fickle juniper]

head up champ

my friend got rejected from Amazon for 2022 ng/industry positions

ended up going to Apple for way more money

[elder hamlet]

when did you apply?

[vivid fiber]

Some guy was complaining on the server once

[fickle juniper]

Like a few days ago

[south rose]

Yoooo anyone here on TN

currently active rn

[south rose]

shopify is shit

dont bother

anyone talk to a lawyer from going to TN -> GC

[fickle juniper]

May 2023

I applied to winter but you need to have one more semester after ur internship apparently which I didn’t realize

Also I’m just assuming it’s cuz my grad date, I might’ve just gotten resume rejected haha

[fickle juniper]

Not sure what TN->GC is, but does a resource like this help? https://stephenholiday.com/waterloo-fulltime-guide/

[tawny zephyr]

dont companies mention it as a requirement on job posting if this is a requirement?

or is this kind of a general rule

[dense blaze]

can anyone tell me what amazon internship application process looks like? thanks!

[fickle juniper]

Well I applied to this: https://www.amazon.jobs/en/jobs/2114265/software-development-engineer-intern-2023-canada

Which states that grad date between 10/2023 - 2026 😅

So I fked up

[tawny zephyr]

ic

I mean u arent blacklisted (I hope)

[fickle juniper]

Nah it was just general resume reject I think

[tawny zephyr]

yea I mean at least u tried

sometimes they dont notice LOL

[fickle juniper]

I should’ve just lied tbh LOL

I totally didn’t even think to idk why haha

[tawny zephyr]

tbh ur resume is too cracked

thats why

Nah Jk, it’s probs valuable but I hate people so I wouldn’t get much out of it

[lucid berry]

Asana is open^

[tight gale]

Why is the new grad in Iceland

[vivid fiber]

and they hire l8r for iceyland i gues

[dark portal]

tbh, i'd take 65k as a first job if there was a recession lol

[oblique crater]

bro you have 5 internships, get as many return offers and start a bidding war

[tawny zephyr]

65k cad? is this even liveable in GTA

[oblique crater]

livable is a subjective term

[tawny zephyr]

true

its livable if u meet certain reqs

like rooming with someone

[untold nebula]

[eternal fossil]

[dark portal]

living in poverty

[tawny zephyr]

I still think 65k really bad for remote

[dark portal]

damn i see

so what should i be aiming for?

[tawny zephyr]

idk cuz yk I am hser

[dark portal]

i think 100k+ fully remote is reasonable if the bear market isn't too severe

[dark portal]

[tawny zephyr]

nah

I hope I dont become sick

I have a flight tmrw

lightning tho

Intel/Solidigm

[dark portal]

Lol I tested negative for covid... so not sure tbh

[dark portal]

Cisco, Expedia, Intel

[oblique crater]

does Expedia have flexible work policy?

[dark portal]

i think so

worst case you might have to relocate to one of their offices in vancouver or montreal if you're in canada

[tawny zephyr]

@dark portal

i am in montreal

tell me stuff to do hee

here

[oblique crater]

turn 18

[tawny zephyr]

[dark portal]

old port, notre dame (don't spend more than 15 mins here tbh), mount royal, mcgill u park, bars around notre dame, rent a bicycle near st lawrence river and view the eastern part of the island + parts of downtown, spit game to french women

[tawny zephyr]

theres notre dame in montreal?

[dark portal]

ye

that's the stuff i can think of off the top of my head

poutine is pretty good too

[tawny zephyr]

u sure u arent thinking of france?

[tawny zephyr]

mississauga poutine or montreal airport

[dark portal]

no

notre dame basilica montreal

[dark portal]

huh?

[tawny zephyr]

montreal airport poutine

[dark portal]

i just type in poutine on google maps, and drive to the one with a decent rating

[worldly ridge]

montreal beef

montreal beef sandwiches :3

tartar if u can find it in montreal

pretty popuolar in france, its raw meat but its orgasmic

[tawny zephyr]

[vivid fiber]

Tartar is sooo good

I went to a restaurant in Montreal and paid an exorbitant amt for some tartar

But it was so worth 😋

[worldly ridge]

best food i ever ate tbh hahah

[eternal fossil]

anyone ever get a job at CSIS as a new grad?

[dark portal]

[eternal fossil]

no

showed up on my ig to apply for canadian border services

so i just checked around

csis looked interesting

[oblique crater]

https://www.theglobeandmail.com/investing/personal-finance/household-finances/article-household-income-mortgage-stress-test/

you need to make 220k to afford buying a house in Toronto or Vancouver according to this article

[novel dome]

return to toronto

[eternal fossil]

yeah...looking into moving to Tbilisi

[oblique crater]

went there twice

amazing city

[eternal fossil]

yeah on r/personalfinancecanada people recommend it

[oblique crater]

but I wouldn't live there permanently

[eternal fossil]

oh yeah?

tell me why you wouldnt go there

[oblique crater]

English literacy is not great, so either learn Georgian or struggle

I went during the summer and it was amazing but I can see the city being quite dull in the winter

[eternal fossil]

its not really winter tho is it

i heard its mild winter

[oblique crater]

it's not a warm country by any means

but compared to Canada it's definitely milder, but the city is very hilly, and the lots of uneven roads everywhere, idk, in theory it would be great to relocate there if you knew Georgian but I just don't think I would fit in there personally

[eternal fossil]

interesting

i'll have to travel there

[oblique crater]

yeah I highly recommend visiting for tourism

[eternal fossil]

optimally toronto for the summers would be fun

winters elsewhere

[oblique crater]

one of the best places I've visited

[eternal fossil]

wow

lotta history?

[oblique crater]

yeah tons of old castles and churches

and the landscape is very diverse

like the russian border looks like Western Canada, green boreal forests and large mountain ranges

[eternal fossil]

ill have to take your word on it

[oblique crater]

Armenian and Turkish border side is more meddteranian and beachy vibes

[eternal fossil]

man

youre selling me on the idea faster

goddamn

[eternal fossil]

wow

[oblique crater]

this church is on a huge mountain, blew my mind the first time I went

[eternal fossil]

thats pretty

im a hardcore landscape lover

did u take that on your own or google

[oblique crater]

nah google, I have photos somewhere as well

this one I took myself, view from the top

[eternal fossil]

oh my god

i liked vancouver for this reason alone

[eternal fossil]

mountain areas if u just drive 30 mins north

[oblique crater]

this was the view from our airbnb, 2017

[eternal fossil]

that looks very victorian

[oblique crater]

yeah the city architecture is super dope in the old parts

[eternal fossil]

how were the people ?

[oblique crater]

the tour guides and stuff were awesome, most people we interacted with were nice, no negative experiences really

but like I said not many people spoke english so most of the time it was our tour guide translating everything so I can't confirm if they were ever rude really

[eternal fossil]

that makes sense

well

thats honestly great to hear

[oblique crater]

definitely visit man, travelling is awesome, I haven't done much travelling after turning 18, just been in university, can't wait to graduate and do some of that

[desert prairie]

yo

is anyone here in uni

i wanna build a project

if anyone is down to collab

or share some ideas

but like an actual project

for my resume
