its a small world 😄

Gifu is a lot bigger then Thunder Bay. three times the population

really? Gifu is crazy countryside

my brother is trying to score a place in Mino city because he does sport kayaking/play boating

the Nagara river is insanely good

there's a good ski resort close by too

I see a big city section on Google maps.

300,000 people

my city is only 108,000

that may be including Ohgaki? I don't think Gifu city alone could be 300k

if you add Ohgaki in then it would probably hit that easy though

my*

maybe that's just the whole area. I'm just reading off the city's wiki page

I think proabbly a lot gets lumped into Gifu city because a lot of the surrounding cities don't even have tax offices etc.

there's a ghost town just west of Mino city/north east of Gify City I've been wanting to go see

was a big logging operation there, now it's just abandoned

Sounds cool!

most famouse is the copper mine in Nicchitsu

there's a bunch of those

if you look at Thunder Bay on a map you'll see we're on the edge of a massive forest

how long has that forest town been abandoned?

@Deleted User that's pretty cool

the logging town has been abandoned since the late 90's

actual construction was 70's

So its been there awhile. I remember exploring an abandoned mining town here. was really cool

early education is important

@Deleted User Hong Kong is british

I know. When it was turned back over to the Chinese in 1997 over a million fled to Canada

@Dixielandmerchant

British Army looks weird

Don't remember them having all that red stuff

@Deleted User Hong Kong hasn't been British since 1997

I know. Mick said "Hong Kong is British" as in presently

Hong Kong is rightfully British

The communist state didn't exist in 1847
