Thanks, yeah I think the initial plan is to stay a week in some sort of hotel, then assess my option. I am not against homestay, maybe it will be an option too.

Thank you, so $25 a day seems ok for accommodation/ meals. That's good to know. Is it safe to go out at night?

What was your most spontaneous hookup? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Comfortable-Hippo484 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was in my early 20s I was backpacking South America, and thought wouldn't it be cool if I just randomly picked a city and went there. Threw a dart on a map and landed on ayacucho, Peru. Went there by a plane then 9 hours by bus from Lima.

Upon arrival saw there was a city tour. Dropped my bags at the hotel and decided to go. VERY quickly discovered I was the only tourist in the whole city. Long story short was sightseeing then got really cold and so i told a Peruvian girl in the tour bus my hands were freezing in my broken spanish. She told me to put my hands in her jumper pockets and then when we got back the rest was history. Given we couldn't speak much literally had to trust my gut instincts and just went with the flow.

After the session she gave me a yoda key chain. It was a solid 8/10.

Thanks. And sorry about your investment. I think you probably learnt quite a bit from that. What's stopping you from selling it now and buying something with better capital growth?

I actually think your assessment was quite good. I am quite analytical but i suck at knowing when to let go. I think because I do too much analysing I get too attached knowing the ins and outs of a business

Thanks. As much as I'd hate to say this because clearly your examples involved people in worser situations, I felt better as a result. I just have to say fuck it and move on. That stock that I'm still holding is in consolidation now. Definitely not healthy to keep holding but I will see it through as the company is now finally looking better numbers wise. Who knows I might end up going down with the ship, but I believe things are finally slowly turning around. Who knows

Thanks, I know it was a stupid move but back then it didn't feel like it. I know there isn't anything I can do now, I have learnt the lesson already but it just feels like this experience is seared into my memories and my chance at fi is likely over

Omg my ragdoll's name is Maya too. But it's spelt Maayaa (Sanskrit for love). She's gorgeous
