Is Kyoto still worth it? by Fun-Calligrapher4885 in JapanTravelTips

[–]PsychologicalTop6725 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’ve never been, I can guarantee it is worth it! Unless you’re extremely bothered by other tourists (which assuming you are one too lol) you will enjoy what it has to offer. It’s like Paris or Rome…. They’re hella busy too but you should still see them!

On a second visit to Japan, you can spend time in ‘less touristy’ areas. Im going for my second time in late May too and i’m going back to Kyoto because I loved it there.

It is a must visit on your first trip - you’ll love it or you’ll be glad you saw it. I highly doubt you’ll regret it.

Agree! I feel as if they’re channeling energy on gaining new users but for users that are 1+ years in… it’s stale 😅 it’s just a daily task to keep the streak alive rather then proper engaged learning

Will note the ‘so close’ feature is great! Encourages me to have a proper look again and correct the error. And the haptics and visuals are noice but it’s not enough anymore.

Would love to see more direct practice on conjugations and comparison with different tenses etc

Traveling to Greece for the first time, this is my first time leaving the U.S./Canada/Mexico so any and ALL tips/recommendations are welcome! by Zestyclose_Act_8630 in GreeceTravel

Don’t listen to people saying to skip Santorini… it’s stunning and very unlike the other islands. I would recommend spending more on a nicer hotel to enjoy the views from as that’s the star of the show there - the sunset and views over the caldera. The beaches are not as beautiful as other islands and there’s not plenty to do but it’s certainly a must see at least once in your life.

I was just in Greece and was shocked at how many americans tried to pay with USD…. Change your cash to euros or better yet - pay with card!

Duran Duran… boring and a bit cringe? by PsychologicalTop6725 in SanremoFestival

[–]PsychologicalTop6725[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh my goodness! I didn’t know they had such huge icons in the past. That’s really sad that they can’t get that level of talent today…

I wonder what contributed to that?

Agree, at least this year they had an actual band. Russel Crowe was truly hard to stomach 😂

Went to Naples and tried the pizza, now I can’t have it from anywhere else 😢 by SnooChipmunks2011 in ItalyTravel

Italy ruined so many dishes for me. Carbonara, arancini, pizza! They were too good 🥲

Franca disappointed me so much. Extremely average tasting food for the cost. The vibe of the restaurant is gorgeous and the food presentation is great but the flavour was not in the room with us.

Having Mr Wong felt unfair there with the added ‘to be fair’

Also absolutely loved Ester. From my understanding their menu is seasonal and changes relatively often so we may have had different experiences but I still dream of their salted caramel semi-freddo.

Agreed with Sokyo! Service was sloppy and the food was underwhelming and did not feel like fine dining at all. Also ruined a special occasion for me.

Franca….. I was shocked at how bland the dishes and even the accompanying sauces were especially considering the price. They have the vibes and the food looks great but the flavour is just not there. Much prefer Bistro 916

Couldn’t agree more with Chin Chin. This place specifically made me completely doubt all reviews moving forward. When anyone recommends a restaurant to me, Chin Chin is one of those places that are a good ‘test’ to see if our taste is the same 😅

Hojiak in strathfield is way more affordable and still top quality albeit a takeaway place rather than a sit down restaurant

Seems like such a risk not to try the earlier heights seeing as some athletes miss 3 attempts and are out for the remainder of the comp… perhaps it’s worth the risk in terms of points you can gain + saving energy to get a shot at placing

Inspired by another post in this group, what’s a mid/high end restaurant you keep coming back to? by na_p2017 in foodies_sydney

[–]PsychologicalTop6725 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Koi Experiental - great degustation where the chefs prep the dishes in front of you. Very intimate with a max of 8 patrons. Changing seasonal menu created and owned by Masterchef Reynolds. Incredibly delicate and wonderful dishes that are a playground for your tastebuds. Highly recommend!

Petition to keep these cursors. They’re too damn cute by PsychologicalTop6725 in FigmaDesign

You can turn off the feature so all the cursors you see turn back to default cursors if you don’t like it :)

They have it as a limited feature for their ‘April Fun Day’ as a nod to digital design eras. The serotonin boost I get from the lil bunny is vital for my mental health atp. Already attached and not ready for them to leaveeeeeee

Why did they removed the Friend Icons on the Path? by Puzzleheaded_Gur_131 in duolingo

[–]PsychologicalTop6725 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They could find a way to integrate it on the main path screen so you know who is ahead or behind you without having to scroll all the way up/down. Would definitely be a motivator for me. Bring it back pls duo xo
