I am often intrigued by how widespread a lot of extended and even non-extended families are, and it’s fascinating to think of family members coming from different places to visit each other and having family gatherings with a bunch of different accents. What countries do you have known family members in?

    Germany, Bahrain, Belgium, France, and Qatar.

    I actually wanna move to Belgium one day, so it’s nice that I can get some help and advice from a family member whenever I need it.

      I bet all of them are taxi drivers, running some small dirty shop or the people who carry heavy stuff for work.

        That’s a strange assumption to make. No, they are not all taxi drivers, shop owners, or carriers of anything especially heavy, to my knowledge.

    If we don’t count cruises and one day port visits, I might not have any living family members who have ever left the US.

    Although, I had one half of my family all move to the South, so they bring back various accents when they visit.

    My family is all in the US, though some cousins have done semesters/years in Japan and Germany. Extended family (branches from my grandfather’s family) in Italy.
