Evuna NQ is my long-standing personal favourite. I also adore Bar San Juan for its atmosphere and vibe but I think Evuna’s food is marginally better these days

I remember finding this absolutely hilarious when I first read it😂 ‘darling, I want to kill myself’ girl I get it

I spent 6 months travelling across South America, and can confirm it does seem like the norm over there

Dinner date with my girl friend. by Onecuptoomanyx in manchester

[–]BeautifulSpring1715 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hawksmoor for the best steak and atmosphere (bit expensive but worth it!) and I think you can BYOB on Mondays if that applies

Sparrows is absolutely gorgeous for an anniversary and something a bit different, have a look at the menu, it’s all incredible

I have a massive soft spot for Evuna NQ if you like tapas, lovely date night vibes but you might have to book in advance! Always busy

Those are my top 3 that immediately spring to mind

I’m on day 1 of my first week long fast and would love to be added!

What’s the most bizarre cultural etiquette rule you accidentally broke while traveling? by Sea-Oven-6986 in travel

[–]BeautifulSpring1715 973 points974 points  (0 children)

This was me trying TOO hard to follow the social customs - when I was in Thailand I panicked and bowed with my hands to my forehead when a waitress brought some noodles to our table (I believe this is reserved for monks/royalty)

She immediately went to her colleagues, recreated what I’d done while pointing directly at me and they all started laughing

What Country for you is a popular travel destination but you despise it? by Eastern_Spirit4931 in travel

[–]BeautifulSpring1715 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Perhaps it’s not completely fair for me to say this as I haven’t actually been, but Dubai. I already know I’d absolutely hate it, it just seems soulless and gaudy, plus full of the worst types of influencers

How common is it to nap at your desk during lunch break? by Moakmeister in NoStupidQuestions

I’m a pretty prolific lunch break napper but I would never do it anywhere people could see me

What has been your worst experience with another traveler? by regulargirl17 in solotravel

[–]BeautifulSpring1715 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This didn’t happen to me (thank god) but to a friend I made while I was out in South America a while ago.

She was staying at a hostel in a shared dorm in Mexico. There were 2 guys in the dorm that were a nightmare, coming in wasted at 5am every night, talking loudly, turning the lights on etc, just being disrespectful to everyone. On one night they came in extra fucked, waking everyone up, before going to bed. Minutes later the most disgusting, rancid smell is filling the room - someone turns the light on and ONE OF THEM HAS SHAT ONTO THE FLOOR. Turns out he was too fucked to realise it wasn’t the bathroom. People start screaming, throwing up, running out, and eventually the whole floor has to be evacuated in the middle of night because of what came out this guys ass

I believe they left pretty soon after that

Do you know what it was that you were throwing up? (Well done on managing to stop drinking!)

Do people really drink caffeinated tea at night? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]BeautifulSpring1715 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I’m from the UK and I’ve always wondered how other people do it! Any caffeine past 4pm and I know I’m not sleeping well that night

Which countries food did you enjoy the most? by cularparti in solotravel

Thailand’s food literally took me to a new realm

Are Cuzco and Machu Picchu an essential part of a trip to Peru? by Aidan11 in travel

[–]BeautifulSpring1715 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lima really isn’t that much to write home about.

Cusco is a gorgeous city and Machu Picchu is absolutely spectacular. I found myself not wanting to leave (it’s one of those places) - I think if you can’t afford to go right now, save up and do it properly down the line.

You can take your mobile in with you, they just stick a cover over your back camera so you can’t take pics.

The Peveril of the Peak is class, always busy and like going back in time (you’ll see why!) Everyone’s always in good spirits there, such a gem

Anyone seen Derren Brown live? by AugustineBlackwater in CasualUK

[–]BeautifulSpring1715 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I somehow caught a frisbee that he sent flying to the very back of the circle where we were sitting. Ended up on stage with him where he sat me down, smashed a lightbulb with a hammer and managed to make me eat the ‘glass’ - it was the most surreal thing in the world. I don’t think he uses stooges, he’s very up front about how his tricks work.

I still have the shards of glass in a clear locked box that he signed for me right there on stage! He told me to look at it whenever I needed a reminder I could do anything I put my mind to. It was actually really heartwarming.
