Couldn't agree more. Destroying our planet faster just so people don't have to write their own emails seems insane to me. Google literally wants to use private nuclear reactors to power their AI projects... Do people really think that won't be expensive, both economically and climate-wise?

Not surprised at all. Pearson is the worst airport I've ever had the pleasure of passing through.
My brother and I quote this money to this day, such a classic.
"How could he see me?"
Well that was dumb.
The grass is always greener and all that. I spent the first 15 years of my adult life destroying my body in the trades. Sure the money was good, but the hours sucked and you're still dealing with idiots all the time. Maybe Tracie in accounting doesn't know to not click on every link she receives in her email, but at least she can write a coherent sentence and refrain from smoking crack in the porta-potties...
And don't even get me started on service work. People who can't use computers have nothing on people who can't change a light bulb or plunge a toilet.
No surprise that this happened at Pearson to boot. I don't think I've ever had a good experience while flying through there.
Mine does that too. It's usually only for around 20 seconds, so it doesn't really bother me.
The key here is elevation. I'm 183 cm and weigh 95 kilos, and I live in the Alps. For sure, I'm not always hitting those numbers, but throw a couple of big climbs in there and it starts to make sense.
Try getting into biking. I burn 1500-2000 calories (I'm not a small dude) in like 2 hours of road cycling. It's relatively easy on the body compared to running as a bonus.
No, good guess though!
This is all excellent advice, especially regarding France. Where I live, which is only 20 minutes from Geneva, you'd be lucky to find anyone outside larger towns who can speak English confidentially. And forget about it if you have an accent other than very standard British or American.
Europeans in general appreciate the small things in life much more than Americans. Like everyone has already said, try and relax and take it all in, rather than rush from place to place trying to cram as much as possible into your trip. Have that second glass of wine, or that dessert that looks amazing, or even that afternoon nap after a long lunch. Trust me, you remember those moments just as fondly as the big ones.

I guess the joke is on me, I've had a sinus infection or something for like a month so my nose is always either running, or clogged. Sometimes both at the same time!
