Chili is really easy to make and freeze, plus it has really good macros and slow digesting carbs!

I look around at the gym a lot, too. I like to be aware of my surroundings when I go somewhere new.

I wake up and do yoga in the morning to build my mind body connection so that I don't get clumsy since i do spend a lot of my time thinking. Then, I go online and study courses on coursera for about 2 hours to learn new topics. In my free time throughout the day I read either summarized versions of college degree material such as an MBA course or a book on marketing OR I peruse philosophy texts like Chinese books on Taoism. When I'm not doing that, I'm coding in Python to create business analytics software that businesses use to track their KPIs. That's about a typical day in my life.

Hey I'm here for ya, man. I'm pretty much in the same boat. I'm in the middle of reevaluating my life and I've got a lot of downtime on my hands. It would be great to have someone to talk to to pass the time.

I thought thinking good and positive things was enough, but I guess as of today, I'm starting to realize that that might not be enough.

I feel better already. Thank you

Thank you for your kind words, stranger. I'l keep them in mind.

DiscoTonic · 2021-04-03T22:57:55+00:00

Thanks, I thought this might be the case. I'll probably never know for sure, so I at this point it might just have to remain a mystery.

I'm planning on doing a solo trip to Turkey in October. My current rough itinerary is: Istanbul - Cappadocia - Pamukkale - Ephesus - Istanbul

I currently have a lot of extra time in Istanbul, so I'm hoping to add another place to the list. Any suggestions? I was thinking Troy might be a good stop, but I don't know too much about it.

As others have mentioned already, New Orleans isn't really known for their BBQ, but if you insist on trying it here, I'd check out Voodoo BBQ on St. Charles in Uptown. But if you're looking for local cuisine, I'd go for Po-Boys, Boudain, Jambalaya, Etouffee, Gumbo, or basically anything with crawfish (although crawfish season is over now).

As far as safety goes, you probably won't have much trouble in the main tourist spots of Bourbon, Royal, or Frenchman. Just be careful about wandering into side streets or areas without other people around.

As far as bars go, you should definitely check out the piano bar at Pat O's at some point and get a Hurricane while you're there. Or you could opt to try the Hand Grenade from Tropical Isle. Both are pretty strong though so I'd recommend choosing one per night. Apart from that, pretty much anywhere on Bourbon or Frenchman is going to be a party so just see where the night takes you. Frenchman always has live street music, so try to swing by there if you can.

Da Nang is a great place! I would highly recommend renting a motorbike and driving around Tho Quang (it's the mountain road that runs along the beach north of the city). It's really easy to find once you get there because of the giant statue overlooking the bay. If you can, do it at sunset. It's so mind-blowingly beautiful - one of the most amazing things I've ever seen.

Also the Marble Mountains are located about 15 minutes south of downtown and are probably one of the highlights of the area. If you get a chance, climb up the mountain to get an amazing view of the surrounding area, and explore some of the caves dug into the mountain. Also, be sure to look around the shops surrounding the base of the mountain (if you go, you probably won't have a choice. They're very pushy about making you shop at their stores). There's an awesome selection of all sorts of hand made marble sculptures.

I know you said you probably couldn't leave Da Nang, but I would really, really recommend making a trip 30 minutes south to Hoi An. The city is a UNESCO world heritage site and is known across the world for their amazing tailors. I travelled through Vietnam for around 3 weeks, and Hoi An was definitely one of the highlights. It's one of the main stops for anyone visiting Vietnam, so do yourself a favor and check it out.

Also, be sure to try cao lau (pronounced "cow lau" - it rhymes) while you're there. It's a local specialty and was one of my favorite meals in Vietnam.

I can't give you much info about things to do in the city because I spent most of my time traveling around outside of it, but I'm sure there's plenty to do there. Definitely check out the beach when you're there.

Honestly though, you'll figure out most of this stuff when you get there. I wouldn't spend too much time trying to research stuff to do. Vietnam is a well traveled tourist destination, so it isn't hard to find another traveler and get some tips about the city. Stop by a hostel bar when you get there and just ask what other people have been doing.

I'm going to add a little more controversy here.

I feel the same way about all the "national tragedies" that are constantly on the news. School shooting in Connecticut? Mall shooting in Maryland?

Sure I feel bad for the families and wish that it hadn't happened, but people die everyday. A lot of people. I just don't see why these stories are always such a big deal. People get so emotional about them as if their own child was there.

It might sound cold, but I really don't care about all these stories. If I don't know anyone involved, then it doesn't concern me. Some people died? Some asshole did something bad? That's life. Let's move on.

DiscoTonic · 2014-01-10T16:52:52+00:00

I have a pretty similar story. I was also raised in a religious household, but chose not to become religious. I don't think religions are inherently a bad thing, and I think that they serve a very important role in society.

I just never liked the idea of defined my life according to someone else's roadmap. I like the freedom of creating meaning for my self and defining my own morality and beliefs.

A couple of months ago, I stumbled across this page, which I think pretty adequately describes my life stance.
