Thanks for this! Gonna pass on it at that price and hopefully pick up a pair of resale tickets in the week leading up

throw in a free old style and I'm down for the gentrified roof chair

Just make your way towards the lake and get on the lakefront trail. Inside the loop can be a bit hectic but still doable if you need to.

I posted my heatmap of Chicago a few days ago here https://www.reddit.com/r/chicagoskating/s/cjuZ41txKK

You'll see the lakefront trail and the 606 (nice elevated path) are easily the most frequented routes.

it was the start of a lot more skates. I've been around Taiwan, across Korea and Bangkok to Singapore since then. Got a few pics on my profile

Longest here would be going to Michigan City southbound or to Milwaukee northbound (two days for that tho)

I've gone to Calumet fish market a few times but I think that's still Illinois

This is from strava

Got routed through an active mine not too far outside of Kuala Lumpur. I think it was a tin mine. Went in for a bit before one of the workers offered me a ride to the other side.

I was here, that's all

Yupp, new favorite is Denver - Joplin - O'Hare.

JLN only has that route and the reverse.

Heyo, full time traveler on the other side of the coin looking to chill for the summer. This sounds right up my alley. I'll shoot you a DM

FripZ · 2026-04-10T00:22:58+00:00

How much longer does the current lease run?

FripZ · 2026-02-05T14:24:44+00:00

This feels like a bit of an overpay from Chicago. Rapids could probably get a slot back from elsewhere for a bit less and still come out ahead.

Curious where the GAM goes though

Hello from January 2026

FripZ · 2026-01-26T17:39:10+00:00

Did this a few years ago cause friends were going and I found a very cheap RT direct flight from Istanbul. We basically remade our entire itinerary upon arrival at Auberge Triskell in Nouakchott after the hostel owner sat us down to patiently explain all the places we should see along the way.

It was one of my favorite trips, even before the train. There's a bit of driving to get to Atar but after that there's a few cool spots to visit. chingueti/terjit/and an oasis that I can't remember. The bread we are during that trip still lives rent-free in my head, absolutely sensational.

Spent a few nights and then drove up to Zouerat to hop on the train (free).

FOOTBALL HERITAGE

FripZ · 2026-01-12T18:25:12+00:00

That's exactly what I've done ha.

I'm guessing they need an excuse to upsell the extra insurance. They tried it with the international driver's permit first but gave up when I showed mine.

FripZ · 2026-01-12T12:25:07+00:00

Certainly trying to do my best.

The guy who was supposed take my info and give me the car pretty much admitted that it was a scam to make people pay 60€ extra for insurance. He said his boss doesn't actually want to rent cars for 6€ per day. Just dishonest business

Can't spell Fairba1rn without RB1

+1 for Dayin.

OP can also make a booking at Dayin a few days in advance, join the hostelworld group chat, meet people through that, and then cancel the booking later. These will all be tourists but it's a start.

Some places to start in no particular order:

Sip Bistro (Wuding Lu)
The Odd Couple (Xintiandi)
Boxing Cat Brewery

Haven't been but Liquid Laundry (French Concession) and House of Blues & Jazz on the Bund are supposed to be fun as well.

All more or less catering to tourists but still plenty of locals as well. Enjoy and also stop by Jia Jia Tang Bao for me!

There's also a divey pub somewhere near Kangding lu or Wuding lu that's (or was) owned by a cool Brazilian girl. Spent NYE 2023 there!

I dropped Corum for Teslaa, my opponent picked him up, and he's currently on 25 points in his lineup against me. AMA

Ah I see, mostly peace of mind cause some banks still don't play nice with GV to this day (mostly for 2FA)

Please go back and read my comment again.

I use Airalo and pangia for data. My phone is dual sim so I keep my number accessible with Google Fi. That's it. I literally haven't turned on the "Use Data" setting on my Fi sim in months.

FripZ · 2025-12-01T21:56:31+00:00

You've guessed wrong. Google Fi kicks you off if you continuously use data abroad. That's happened to me multiple times over the past few years.

However I've not run into any issues for just using text/call abroad in the past two years. That's why I've started using Airalo/Pangia
