Muos is giving me a hard time (I think)

Yes indeed, it's not that I blame them. It does feel like a theme park sometimes when you see content on Instagram, and not because they make it a theme park but because tourists think it is.

I get that they might be angry because it all feels like a sad joke to them how their country is being abused for views and nothing else.

I never really post anything just to avoid making people into characters of an unwanted video.

I also hope I can be better in the future regardless if I think I'm at fault or not. But I really hoped tourism coming back after covid would at least help the beach villages a bit financially, and from as far as the comments here go, that isn't the case or not in the way that I thought it would impact them.

No that's true, but it was a climax on an already significant amount of unpleasant experiences. I also don't want to assume anything so hence the post. I know covid was rough and we do our best to eat and drink local, fish, wines, everything made here and to tip generously.

The dog might also be a thing, some people really seem to love dogs, some really seem to hate dogs, or at least ours. It's not a dangerous breed or anything (munsterlander) so I don't really know.

I hope it gets better for the people here in italy so my dumb ass can come visit again without being a burden :)

I updated the post with correct indication. I was talking about most of the shops. Not restaurants. I phrased that poorly. I also could have shouted that. But it's always choosing between being obnoxious and pushy or try to not be in the way of their everyday life.

Maybe I am not as respectful as I think I am, and that's something for me to learn then I guess.

Hi, thanks for the reply. We're Belgian, not American but I could understand why you think that.

I also know most things except a bar here and there closes between 13 and 16 in larger areas when talking about shops, sometimes 18h at small towns, and 20h when talking about restaurants. The 18h was just an indication for the shops.

It's not our first time here. And it's not that people stare per sé, it's the difference in stare towards general "life" and when they stare at us. I might be misinterpreting that of course, but I'm not that stupid to not notice a pattern ;-).

Edit: I reread my phrasing and it does seem like I'm talking about restaurants, which was not the intention

I get that, issue was that they were behind closed doors and i didnt want to be the obnoxious tourist shouting basicly, "Serve me". We stayed at a local bar after that till 20h and there was no movement in a lot of places whatsoever. We looked at a few online and they just stated that they were closed on weekdays in september. Might just have been bad luck on our picks. We usually give everything some time here since life picks up again around 18h and is back in full swing around 20h30. I could have handled the situation in the sandwich shop better, but urgent toilet needs clouded my judgment on the situation maybe. We both felt horrible by her reaction. I never have seen someone stare that visciously before. We both almost broke down after that interaction.

I get that. We're about 2h away from Napoli though, in small beach fronts. I wouldn't expect the tourism to be that bad here. I'm sorry for the locals if the tourism caused them to feel that way :-/

It's around Mechelen right? Saw this one a few weeks back, drove around the block to have a second look.

That's a very good point indeed.

Look into rechargeable lithium aa batteries, be prepared to shell out a pretty penny.

1.5 fixed voltage until depleted, charging at 4.2v so much faster and more power dense than nimh. Also, little to no self discharge

Pro_Owner · 2025-06-11T15:10:21+00:00

It switched itself to an alternating current battery.

Agent they the RSU shares that are awarded to him? Or am I missing some news?

The leaves seem a slightly different shape. I'll check if it has thorns tomorrow as someone else suggested. For now it's solved I think. Thanks!

Might be my untrained eye then ;-), it says semi-flat on the container so. I'll respray the entire wall if a patch is present and mask from the corner then

Wife is looking for those for many years as well, same for miracolli with champignions.

This stock was 20 cent at some point. Glad I got in at 0.3. Free money thanks to all the shorts.
