► Tableau des différentes distances parcourables en une journée par divers moyens de transports

j'ai réalisé moi-même ce tableau en me basant sur une image en anglais issue de nanowrimo, converti les distances en km/h et vérifié/corrigé les informations en croisant les sources. bonne écriture !

Traveling, you realise that differences are lost: each city takes to resembling all cities, places exchange their form, order, distances, a shapeless dust cloud invades the continents.

- Italo Calvino

The commute times in capital cities are higher - in London they are often an hour one way. Another way of understanding it. UK (67m people) had 4m people with commutes over 60 minutes in 2019 compared to 3m in Germany (83m people).

Taken as an average the commute times of European countries are very similar. The only thing that is baffling is the 29 minutes commute time in Luxembourg which is only a tiny city.

Hi! Regarding inconsistencies in the show. I've been doing research for my fic regarding New Orleans neighborhoods and I don't think there are inconsistencies about Louis' house and the church.

They have specified the church where Louis was turned is St Augustine and they are know members of the parish. St Augustine is also one of the oldest African American parishes in New Orleans. It's located in Tremé, a chic neighborhood which used to house the free black population in the 19th century. It fitd that Louis' family would attend this church for generations.

Now, the show doesn't explicitly say where Louis' house is located. There's just some throwaway mention about the Mayfairs being down the street which is never followed up. But, since we take 1132 rue royale as the address of the townhouse, i think it would work very well to use the address of Derbes Mansion (the house where they filmed the scenes at Louis' house) as the real address for the Pointe du Lac mansion. Derbes mansion is situated at the limits of the 7th Ward, which at the time was an up-and-coming Creole neighborhood. It's also very close to Tremé and Esplanade Avenue, which is filled with mansions like Derbes mansion. Used to be called "millionaire row". So it would fit very well to have Louis and his family own a mansion in that neighborhood.

There's only a 20 min walk from Derbes mansion to St Augustine church, a mile at most.

Hey!

Ah, I based that comment off the Garden District which supposedly was the location of the Mayfair Witche‘s home (there was an ask re this quite a while ago, but of course they probably could have adapted the locations) - and since that was supposedly down the street… 😅

That is so interesting and useful information though, thank youuuuuu! 💕

(I‘ll edit my reply in the other post in a moment!)

Puerto Madero, 2007.

Buenos Aires is a long way from just about everywhere! Plan to be there in late November, and the trip requires 12+ hours from IAD by air. It used to be a little faster, but at the moment there are no non-stops.

There’s a lot of excellent examples of the difference between a million and a billion, but here’s my new personal favorite from a conversation I had today:

A million minutes ago was April 2021, the height of the COVID pandemic.

A billion minutes ago was November 121 CE, the height of the Roman Empire.
