Maybe just stop looking for those start from Philly and fly to China for a train trip. 
You know, we’ve got everything from regular trains that run 120km/h to those fancy high speed ones that run 300km/h and up to 450km/h on some lines

That’s good then. One thing I always found was that the train staff are very helpful at train stations too whenever there’s any problems.

Stockholm made my day today!
We had a fun trip, and the worst part of it was that it was too short. We are now at the terminal waiting for the night ferry back home.
We had breakfast at a nice cafe in the morning then walked around the city centre and Gamla Stan, visited the Christmas fair in Kungsträdgården, had a couple of veers at a nice bar, and then had dinner before the stage show, which was full of great actors, fun jokes and song numbers - a Christmas musical version of a classic Swedish comedy. Well worth the time and money!
The funniest part was how my crazy wife spent 300kr on 10 bags of Swedish celebrity pasta that isn’t sold in Finland 
she was so happy to finally buy it; she is quite the chef and loves cooking, so we’ll be eating a lot of pasta now!
Here are a few photos!

Not that it’s the point, but I want to hear what games you played…
FWIW, from what I can see in the pic, looks like you’ve gotten the hang the the whole makeup thing. Can’t comment on the eyeliner, though.

One of which I know. That being Werewolf - can be a lot of fun in the right group. Don’t know if you played it with the app, but if not the app really is nice.
Glad you had fun! You’ve inspired me to play some games today*.
*Actually, that’s a fib, we do have a couple people coming over for games shortly, but it was set up yesterday, so I can’t give you the credit. Sorry.

Is that the same game people were referring to when Andrew Garfield said he wasn’t the werewolf in reference to when he was asked if he was in Spider-Man: No Way Home?

I just saw wicked and it’s an amazing film. I loved the play and the film is a great adaptation of it.

Glad to hear. I’m going to try myself to see it either this Monday or the week after, depending on when my brother can take me down to the local cinema.

Well, I had no idea what you were talking about, but I did a search and read up on the Garfield thing, and yes, same game.
Werewolf is a game where everyone is secretly given a character of a werewolf or a villager - some villagers are vanilla, some have special abilities. There may be one werewolf or there may be more, depending on the number of players. The game is played over multiple “nights” and each night the werewolf(ves) kill a villager and the villagers kill someone (hopefully a werewolf), and this continues until one side eliminates enough of the other side. It’s all about the villagers trying to figure out who’s a werewolf and about the werewolves trying to keep their nature a secret.
There are many versions of Werewolf, with villager abilities varying a little from one to another, but the gameplay is basically the same. So, he may or may not be referring to the particular edition that JayPea played, but yeah, same game.
My gaming today consisted of one play of The Quacks of Quedlinburg, and 2 plays of Pandemic, if anyone’s wondering.

I got woken up way too early by someone going to town with a chainsaw. It’s been an hour and they’re still at it.

Last night my friends invited me to go and see Wicked with them today!!!
But then I remembered we already had plans for lunch with some family members.
I’d rather be seeing Wicked tbh

Yeah Werewolf and Mafia are almost a subgenre of social deduction games, there’s so many variations on them
One Night is probably the easiest to learn, quickest to play, and imo one of the most interesting. Instead of deaths in the night and killings in the day, cards get swapped around and there’s a bunch of abilities that all do different things, at the end of the night phase you have no idea if you’re still what you started as, in some cases you know for certian you’re not. And then you only have one day to figure out what everyone is and find a single werewolf.

Secret Hitler is brilliant, ye
My absolute favourite Social Deduction game though is Blood on the Clocktower. It’s basically The Ultimate social deduction game.
Two teams, Good and Evil, split into two role types each: Good Townsfolk who have abilities that help the good team, Good Outsiders who have abilities that hinder the good team, Evil Minions who have abilities that help the evil team, and the Evil Demon, who (usually) chooses who dies at night and has another ability to help their team.
Every character has a unique ability that does something interesting. There’s multiple different ‘scripts’ you can choose to play, each with different mixes of the types of characters on them. With so many different characters and them making new ones each month, there’s always something new, even playing a script you’ve played before but swapping a single character on that script can completely change the way the game works, it’s brilliant.
Plus all the rules are free online and there’s dedicated servers to playing it online, so you don’t have to buy anything if you don’t want to!
