When I was in Singapore, I visited the WWII prison where the POW's were kept. It was an interesting experience

https://www.visitsingapore.com/see-do-s ... lsrc=aw.ds

I'm very sure it has been interesting, without a doubt! Would be another one on my list, should I ever see Singapore.
Since Lillorainen's geography is currently being overhauled a 'tiny' bit, most information on it posted before December 12, 2018, is not entirely reliable anymore. Until there's a new, proper factfile, everything you might need to know can be found here. Thank you. #RetconOfDoom (Very late update, 2020/08/30 - it's still going on ...)

How tall are you if I may ask? I'm going to guess somewhere in between 5'8" and 5'9, but I could be wrong.

Right on the mark. I'm a tall lady which is funny since my mum is about 15 cm shorter then me.

I'm 6 foot 4 are you sure you should be referring to yourself as tall?

I stand at about six feet, four-and-one-half inches, at least at the last time I was measured (and in FreedomTM units, of course). As to my mass, I admit that I am slightly over three-hundred pounds, a fact which initially surprises most folks that I've met in RL. Most people say that I look slightly over two-hundred instead. People's reactions tend towards disbelief, really. I don't look "fat", after all; but looks can be (and are, in this case at least) deceiving. When I was moving in, some of the folks in my residence hall guessed that I was on the football (gridiron, not soccer) team when I was in high school; I wasn't, largely because I lack any sort of interest in the game. But as to my lifestyle? Largely sedentary if I'm to be completely honest with you all. I was just extremely lucky when it comes to my genetics, really. There's not much else to it.
I may return for somewhat longer than I was initially expecting. Why am I here? No idea whatsoever. I really ought to find some way out of this place.

Also, the NS stats don't reflect my RL views, just to clarify.

Try out Keto/Carnivore. But not for longer than one or two months at max, or else it might have nasty side effects.

Average female height in the US is 162cm (5'4"). Just because you are really tall doesn't mean I'm not tall, I am above an average height by a not insignificant margin, just not as tall as you.

Cooking is great! It's so much fun and you get tasty things at the end :p

Well, at least I stand roughly at eye level with you, which is refreshing for a change, really.

Tbh there have been loads of places that I've been that wouldn't be on the average tourist's itinerary.

You do an awesome job at avoiding mass tourism, then - which isn't exactly a bad thing to do. ^^

On today's episode of "cringing at shit I liked as a child/teenager", does anyone remember TGWTG? When I was an embarrassment of a child, I used to love the various shows. I tried re-watching some older episodes recently, and all of them were awful. And then I made the mistake of delving into some of the former TGWTG contributors' social media accounts, and most of them have garbage takes on most everything, in my view at least. Really, the only one I can think of off the top of my head that isn't awful (or that didn't turn into a shitty human being) is that Dominic Noble fellow, but that's just because I somewhat enjoyed his reviews of the Fifty Shades novels and I didn't read through his Twitter yet.
I may return for somewhat longer than I was initially expecting. Why am I here? No idea whatsoever. I really ought to find some way out of this place.

No Heloin, I'm referring to "That Guy with the Glasses" which was later known as "Channel Awesome".

He's not my cup of tea: I prefer CinemaSins, especially since CinemaSins comes with less... baggage than many of Nostalgia Critic's projects.
