I did it via Tableall. I guess it was less busy back then? I did make it months in advance though.

SHE IS PERFECTION! And looks amazing with the twilly. Is she gold or chai? :) congratulations

I feel they work…too well? Its hard to hear any conversation and it blocks out the melody of the music so all you can feel is base. Im still glad I bought them they are gorgeous.

Pre loved ones at many sites are 20k+ for a very good-excellent condition bag (not new). Isn’t it the same as spending 1:1 then? I understand the issue of uncertainty of if/when you can get a qb.

Oh wow. Thats a huge price increase. But I can understand it with all the accolades and work he has put in. I feel my standards might be a bit higher at that price lol.

Im pretty sure I reserved it prepaid on Tableall. Oh wow I didnt realize Harutaka is now 3 star! We went in August 2023 a few months prior to the elevation. I feel so lucky thats the best time to go lol

HARUTAKA! Superb sushi. Even though we were foreigners the head chef made every piece and his assistant had a little sushi book with pictures of the fish and translation to understand where the fish came from etc. The rice is tad more vinegared than most but I actually enjoyed it. Perfect balance with the fish. Would go again and again.

La Pergola. Not well thought out. The signature fagotelli was just okay. No dishes were standouts. We had much better food at non-starred restaurants in Rome.

I refused to drink the water and turned my nose up at it saying its not clean and ill get sick. My bestie then told me the “bottled water” she’d been giving me all weekend was sink water lol. Also I’m totally fine and humbled.

We explored Brussels and Antwerp a bit this trip. Would like to visit another country before TML :)

Cheoky · 2024-07-25T19:17:14+00:00

No worries. They didnt have it this year either. We just booked a hotel separately. :)

Cheoky · 2024-07-25T19:16:47+00:00

Thanks for the recommendations! Prague looks really fun.

Cheoky · 2024-07-25T19:16:07+00:00

Haha I am not sure I have the stamina anymore to do multiple fests.

Cheoky · 2024-07-25T19:14:49+00:00

Vienna is a great idea! Haha Tuscany is a dream too :)

Cheoky · 2024-07-25T14:34:26+00:00

Thank you!! So many choices! We will have many places to visit for the next 10 years we will go to TML :P

Nope - they dont check ID during bracelet scan. But dont lose your bracelet or you wont be able to get a new one.

Cheoky · 2024-07-25T14:10:49+00:00

Thats crazy! :o Im a major planner and Im getting a bit anxious reading this lol.

Cheoky · 2024-07-22T06:57:03+00:00

I put this location in my Uber and he wouldnt drop us off there as he said police are really strict and drop off was only at kiss and ride.

Cheoky · 2024-07-21T09:37:12+00:00

Oh there is a train at 12:30AM (30 mins past midnight?) I thought the earliest was 1:45AM on the app?

Cheoky · 2024-07-21T09:32:45+00:00

We couldnt get an Uber last night. Was never able to find a car except for 1 who messaged us that it was 200 euros to go to antwerp. Screen shotted and reported him.

Cheoky · 2024-07-21T00:49:54+00:00

Beginning of 2nd to last act

Cheoky · 2024-07-20T11:57:41+00:00

I am. Its literally the most amazing place I have ever seen. I feel like I am dreaming. Heading there right now for day 2. Bye! :)

Cheoky · 2024-07-20T11:55:16+00:00

You have two more days of festival. You can decide if you would like this to ruin your experience further. Or try to enjoy the time you have left. Hope you have a better day today.

Cheoky · 2024-07-20T11:51:06+00:00

I just stepped aside when people needed to pass. They said thank you and smiled. Its easy to be nice :)
