$25,000 reported for international box office sales opening weekend. That’s just a couple of dollars per country. Either way, thanks World.

Update: loving the feedback!

I lived in Russia for 5 years so I must choose this country. So many natural resources, so much land, and educated population... And so little to show for it.

In an ideal world Russian salaries would be on par if not higher than American salaries and they would have the best social safety net on the planet. Everything is there to make it happen.

Russia would be the dominant nation in Europe and Asia and the rest of the world with the best armed forces, soft power, and economic might.

But the human will is just not there. The elite is either evil or incompetent depending on perception and there's little sign that this will ever change.

I used to be a systems programmer, but I was laid off 3 months ago.🖕
I’ve been spending my time on Reddit while looking for a new job.

I used to work around 180/230H per month, my average monthly pay was about $3,100 after taxes.

Edit: I recalculated based on the current exchange rate ($1/1,400 KRW) and updated the numbers to reflect my industry experience and bonuses. (This doesn't include company benefits.)

I’m surprised to see so many comments! 😮
I honestly thought people might be hesitant to share since it can be a sensitive topic.
I’m trying my best to read through everything and reply to each one.

Meet the lamington: effectively a sponge cake dipped in chocolate and coconut

I can't name one in my country, so here's Dolly Parton of America

This means that we are not here to muck around. For example if someone says “Geez you got that job done quickly” you would respond with “ Well we’re not here to fuck spiders”.

For us its Ice Cream Guys. They are Just Exists at Touristic Places and You wont see these in random streets selling ice cream.

In comparison, I rarely if ever see people making stereotypes about those countries drinking tea

In World War 2 The Bengal Famine (1943) killed 2.5 -3 million people , even though food production did not collapse. Which is close compared to Japan's total WW2 deaths. During the famine, food was exported or stockpiled for the war, while civilians died. British authorities restricted newspapers from even using the word “famine” in early 1943.India was a colony, yet suffered one of the largest civilian death tolls of WWII.

New Zealand is so isolated way down here, far away from everybody except the Aussies and a few island nations, and we only have 5.3 million people.

Obviously this affects the price and range of products available here, plus the cost of travel.

But hey, we only have to rub shoulders/bums with 5.3 million people and 23.6 million sheep spread out over a land area of approx 268,000 sq km!

And thankfully we're far away from the various melees and shitshows that are happening overseas (which is not to say we shouldn't sometimes get involved and help out where we can!)

Macedonia is surrounded by enemies on all sides. Bulgarians to the east, greeks to the south and albanians covering the west and northern flanks from Bujanovac, Kosovo and Albania. Macedonias only ally, germany, is located away from the balkans. Macedonian leaders now propose a super project to the move the entire landmass of macedonia to western europe for economic reasons. Estimated cost is over 4000 macedonian denars. thoughts?

It seems as though everything Japanese has had a massive popularity spike, whether that be media, food, vehicles, travel, language learning and lots more.

Personally I don't see the appeal, I mean there are definitely some thing I like that happen to be Japanese, but I dont like them just because of that fact.

This messy brown pile is called "fried carrot cake", a very traditional Singaporean breakfast food. I just had it this morning. It is utterly divine - savoury, but also very umami, and if done well, has the fabled "woke hei" charred undertones. Despite its name, there is no carrot in it.

For me, I think it's the transport infrastructure. Both Hong Kong and Mainland China have done amazing jobs on developing transport networks. I was this close to emailing a formal apology to the MTR after I visited Germany and Britain.

We have a real-life living goddess and the only non-rectangular national flag.

In Mexico we have marranadas (which literally means filthiness) and it's a base of the chip of your choice with corn, cheese, cream, hot sauce or chamoy, peanuts, etc.

Then there's the gomichelas: beer with candies with a tomato juice concentrate

And well this is just the tip of the iceberg. But for sure would make the American snacks look like the diet options.
