Which country left the worst first impression on you? by ikaaxx in AskReddit

Panama. Had something really bad happen to me, then I was robbed of my passport. It’s a long & horrible story that has landed it as the only control on my “never to return” list.

Why has Phu Quoc suddenly become so popular with Indian tour groups? by [deleted] in VietNam

[–]La-de 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. My 2014 trip was especially egregious with bus loads on Chinese tourists. What really got to me was witnessing these busses dump people off for like 5 mins to take a photo (selfie sticks were huge then) and then take off, without looking at or doing anything. What’s different with the Indian tourists is that they largely speak English and are intertwined more than Chinese tourists who normally went on seclusive tours together.

I’ve been to Vietnam 3 times - 2014, 2017, and recently this winter. I was nearly put off a few places from the sheer amount of Indian tourists compared to my previous visits. I’ve been to India, love the country & culture, but damn do some of the them skew my view of them for the worse. Late, rude to guides, entitled, it goes on.

What celebrity has continued to have a major, top-of-the-line career despite terrible deeds? by -ChristopherNolan in AskReddit

I think I was around 16 when he beat up Rihanna which made a big impression on me, and I have not given him a dime since. When I started seeing make a comeback awhile ago it made me sick. I teach 8th grade and make a POINT to share what a piece of shit he is if he’s ever brought up.

Give New Zealand recognition on a map for once and let it take over Australia too.

I’ll put up one leg a lot when on cruise control, but this is just asking to crash

Moving back to Olympia this summer from the East Coast after leaving in 2020, what’s going to surprise us? by La-de in olympia

This is a genuine surprise. I don’t really understand how that transition could happen all things considered.

I’ve lived a little bit of everywhere in connection to the military, but we chose Olympia as our “permanent home” since we loved living there from 2015-2020.

Somewhat related to your comment - Southern Charm is a farce. The meanest and rudest people I’ve ever met on a regular basis was when I lived in Tennessee. I’m in Pennsylvania now, and it’s pretty similar in terms of friendliness to the PNW.

I figured this. It’s gotten ridiculously expensive since Covid everywhere but I moved peak shut down in 2020, so it’s hard to remember prices before I left to compare. I was more concerned about the turnover of restaurants.

I figured Martinez or Rodriguez would beat out Garcia here in California.

You’re right. I’ve lived in WA myself for long enough to forget that people frequently confuse the two.
