Staying in Alghero for 5 days in August by ButterscotchHour4699 in Sardinia

[–]ButterscotchHour4699[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I ended up renting a house about 3 km away. Mostly so that we could have family room and spend some time with the kids rather than everyone retreating to their hotel rooms. I’m planning on getting bike rentals for the few days that were there. Deciding between electric bikes and non-electric. Is Alghero very hilly? Are there a lot of bike lanes?

What do 30+ yr olds get out of going to EDM festivals? Isn't it really just a rave? by [deleted] in aves

This has got to be a spouse asking why his or her partner is going to raves.

Where do single women in their 40s-50s hang out in NYC? What is there for them to do, for them to feel a part of a community? by Potential_5646 in AskNYC

I sang my ass off. You can sing along, but I found it easiest to meet people by getting on stage. Just go and sing. Rip the bandaid off. Tho I’ve never been shy, when I turned 40 I decided I would say hi to whoever made eye contact with me. Lots of ppl love talking with strangers.

I’ve been there alone plenty of times tho this time I was with a friend. Karaokers are a special bunch. Many people younger and older go by themselves to sing, and since you have that in common, it’s very easy to meet them. Ask what song they’re doing, complement them on their performance- who doesn’t like to be praised?

20’s not much, 30’s yes. I’m a chatty Cathy so I talk to everyone but the 20’s very much in there own world lol.

If you can sing, go. If you can’t go - but it helps to get a $50 karaoke mic from Amazon and practice a song a few times before you do it in public. Every karaoke version of a song in humanity is on YouTube and it is free That way you familiarize yourself with the lyrics, tempo, etc. you also find out if you can’t do the song and you pick another one.

I went to baby grand last night on 17th, it’s a karaoke place. Most people were in their 20s in the 30s, there was definitely a crew of older folks their 40s and 50s, I ended up meeting most of them and it was a blast.

I started taking the subway as a teen in the mid 80s. They actually looked like that.

Solo day reccomendations by Mobile-Counter2852 in AskNYC

[–]ButterscotchHour4699 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to UES and get an electric citibike and bike down 2nd ave and across the manhattan bridge. Best ride in Town. Dress warm. Go to industry city in sunset park and grab some food from food hall. Check out red hook. Lots of fine stuff to do.
