Brasil es ese país donde pueblitos de 60 mil habitantes parecen metrópolis de cientos de miles de personas. Mientras que México es el país donde ciudades de millones de habitantes parecen pueblitos de 60 mil.

It's just a shame that Limodio miscoded the treatment period to include the month before Ramadhan rather than the month after. The result disappears when the period described in the text is used. The curse of the slop five strikes again.

@_alice_evans it is become more apparent that large parts of Latin American was largely settled by losing side of Reconquista/Conquest
During the reconquista, the southern parts of Iberia were largely repopulated by incoming Northern Iberians, which resulted in modern Southern Iberians having *less* North African ancestry and more IA Iberian ancestry than pre-Islamic Roman-era Southern Iberians

🇺🇸 Los Angeles, United States, has its own consular corridor along Wilshire Boulevard. Many countries share office towers between Westwood and Koreatown. The map shows 75 countries and entities, with more distant offices outside the frame.

Nation of contrasts, &c

Similar story for “arroz a la cubana” (Cuban rice) in Spain, if you ask for one in Cuba, either they won’t know about it, or they just know because a Spanish tourist asked for it before.
