Drink this Chinese medicine Lian Hua to boost your immune system if you can find at your place.
2 capsules for 3 times a day (morning, afternoon, night)
Yeah, while it sounded like a fun time before the covid bit, that certainly must have been a trip, @Ralizah .... Feeling any better yet? Hopefully, you all get well soon, anyway
@Ralizah I take it you all won’t be travelling for the next few weeks / months then? That’s one hell of an ordeal, so getting it out of your system (plus COVID)‘ll be important. Those amounts of driver swaps puts Le Mans to shame!
Welcome back @Ralizah, sounds like you and your family went through quite the ordeal, I'm glad to hear things are starting to settle and hope you all continue through it with only mild symptoms!
Now start writing the script for the movie adaptation.
@Ralizah Welcome back! That's quite a trip, one that I'd say was quite enjoyable up until the "Hey, we contracted Covid" bit. I hope that everyone is recovering from both that and a REALLY long drive. Alaska is on my bucket list and is a state I'd like to get to before long...as well as the Northwestern US and the sections of Canada in between!
Azran Legacy is indeed a looker and is definitely one of my favorite uses of 3D on the system. You could tell Level-5 really came into their element with this game. This is apparently the last "true" Layton game that isn't a sort of spinoff or crossover outside of Millionaires' Conspiracy, which I haven't played yet.
Currently playing: Pokemon Scarlet DLC, Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury (Switch)
@CANOEberry It sort of reminds me of biscuits and gravy, which is largely unique to one country (U.S.), heavily associated with one particular region (American South), is widely available in said region, and tends to disgust people from other parts of the world.
@RubyCarbuncle Oh snap. Glad to hear you're alright. My mother is in the hospital for a few days, but nothing so drastic as what you apparently went through. It's a bit scary how one person can react so differently to the same disease. And a good reminder that you're rolling the dice every time you end up catching it.
@Tyranexx The Canadian cities I went to weren't all that distinct from the mainland U.S. in terms of the scenery. but Alaska is stunning. Highly recommend spending the coin to visit there someday. Some locations are only accessible via plane and boat, though.
Glad to hear you're enjoying Azran Legacy! It doesn't get nearly enough credit for its fantastic storytelling and gorgeous use of stereoscopic 3D, IMO. Still annoyed I don't have access to my physical version of it anymore, considering how utterly rare it is. It is, unfortunately, the last great Layton game. Some people like Layton's Mystery Journey, though, so I'll try not to poison the well before you get to play it. Just... lower your expectations going in.
@Ralizah “It's a bit scary how one person can react so differently to the same disease. And a good reminder that you're rolling the dice every time you end up catching it”
Couldn’t agree with you more, Its a very unpredictable virus, and I thought my symptoms would have been the same but were drastically different from Person to person.
I hope you and everyone is doing better!
Nintendo are like woman, You love them for whats on the inside, not the outside…you know what I mean! Luzlane best girl!

I don't think I've encountered this perspective on poutine before. Interesting.
If you were coming from Tennessee, I'm assuming you routed west around the Lakes and crossed through the Prairies on the Canadian leg of your sweet trip. Unfortunately, you wouldn't see the most distinct cities (i.e. Montréal, Vancouver, Toronto, Halifax) or even regions along that route. (Unless maybe you stopped in Drumheller or the Cypress Hills...) And, uh... if you were that far west of Québec, I can't say you've had real poutine... but to each their own. I have a lot to learn about the SE USA, for certain!
That reminds me... funny thing about visiting Tennessee. Most people in eastern Canada really only ever see Florida, or maybe Atlanta for a bit, but I've been through that region by road multiple times since I was a young furball. I only saw the Smokies for the first time when I was old enough to drive, and no one here will even believe me when I tell them there are mountains there! If you're driving in fall or winter, it is inevitable that you reach Tennessee only by nightfall, and so everyone here I know who has done the trip just plain misses them. I'm too much the geologist for that, myself, and besides... I wanted to see if all that "Copperhead Road" business was real, hahaha.
@CANOEberry It only turned into a car trip across America at the end because we got covid and couldn't fly back to the States. We flew to the locations we went in Canada. Saw some of Toronto and much more of Vancouver. Tried two poutines, and both were in Toronto.
I've never spent much time in the Smokies, since it's a bit of a drive, but the state is filled with some really fantastic nature trails for hiking.
The most impressive mountains in NA will always be the Rockies, IMO. They're a big part of why Colorado is so beautiful. That and the massive amount of snow throughout the year. Middle Tennessee doesn't get a lot of snow, unfortunately, and people freak out when it does.
@Ralizah I wouldn't exactly classify my location in the American South - I'm in the lower Midwest - but B&G (and many other Southern comfort foods, TBH) is a common breakfast staple here. I'm up for it once in a blue moon, but I intentionally try not to eat it often since it's not the healthiest lol. I've never had poutine, but the Wikipedia description looks interesting. I'd try it at least.
My parents went to Alaska for their 30th anniversary, and needless to say I would've liked to go too! I'd like to see towns and cities like Anchorage, Skagway, and Juneau. As well as natural areas and locations, like some of the Aleutians, Denali, a few glaciers, etc. I've heard some Canadian cities are very distinct from each other, and honestly cities in general are neat for me since I live in a mostly rural area.
I'm searching for my 4th "egg" in Azran Legacy. I totally agree on the storytelling and 3D effects. Unlike previous Layton titles, it isn't long before the player is thrown into the action. I'll definitely mention the game in "best stereoscopic 3D showcases" lists from now on! If I may ask, what happened to your physical copy? I'd love one, but the game was rare and expensive even before the pandemic. Duly noted on Layton's Mystery Journey; tempering my expectations and entering with an open mind is why I've actually enjoyed some controversial games like Metroid: Other M.
Edit: I fully agree on The Rocky Mountains, though The Smokies are quite beautiful as well.
@Ralizah I stand corrected. For some strange reason, I read your message as if you had taken the Alaska Highway, which... would not be likely in this season, I imagine! Silly me. Sorry to hear about your nightmarish road trip; I'm glad you were able to cross the border, at least, before things got so dire. I salute you for your endurance, fellow traveler - that was quite the itinerary. People usually think I'm the crazy one for planning long trips across continents, but I don't think I've ever done anything quite like that before...
