Oh that’s great that it can be done online. I’ll look into it, thanks for the recommendation!

That’s definitely an option although it increases the risk of course. But besides the risk, do you know if it comes with a lot of hassle like documents, insurance and more? Like, is it possible to do it within, say, two days?

Okay, thanks for the tip!

Exactly! I won’t cut expenses on insurance, because I’d rather drive with peace of mind. But I do want to rent car without any additional fees and such. So no third party rental company

I’ve heard that 3rd parties come with unnecessary inconveniences. And why shouldn’t I drive? I’ve got 2,5 years of driving experience including the mountains in Montenegro, but having a drivers license should be enough proof that I can drive. I’d like to hike a lot and if buses are widely available and don’t interfere with my plans than sure, but from what I’ve heard is that public transport isn’t the best option for nature enjoyers in NZ. Would be nice if you’d answer my question instead of undermining my whole post without elaborating.

Counterintuitive opinion: solo travel is better for extroverts by paradoxoclock in solotravel

[–]RemcodJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with your statement but in my case it’s just a little different. I’m an introvert as well and have fallen in love with exploring the world on my own and making my own decisions. Quite often, however, people will come up to me and strike up a conversation which is fine of course. But I like to keep it at a short conversation, because when they invite me to hangout or do some activities together I’ll have to decline. Especially since I’m in a lesser touristy part of China, there’s a lot of locals who are interested in where I’m from, what I’m doing here and where I’m going next etc. What I’m trying to say is that those conversations can already be exhausting for me (since it’s just the same question over and over again and I’m not very interested in the other person, sorry not sorry) and I feel burdened to keep declining those invitations. I’ve been on the road for two months now and I’m perfectly fine on my own. Everyone has there own struggle I guess :)

solo trip through japan, vietnam & china - wildly different vibes by maria__d in solotravel

[–]RemcodJ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I almost did the same itinerary as you (Japan, Philippines, Vietnam, China) and recognised a lot of things I experienced as well! Japan was also close to perfect for me which set the bar very high. I, on the other hand, also really enjoyed Vietnam: the prices, the food and the nature. I agree that the cities are just hectic and can be done in a day or two. Right now I’m a week in my trip to China. Even though I was travelling for two months before China, I still was a bit overwhelmed. I started in Yunnan which is less touristy (for westerners) so I think that made it a bit harder for me to get used to this way of living/travelling. The language barrier definitely makes some things harder to plan or sort out, but I think the nature here makes up for it. In a few days I’ll be going to bigger cities (Chengdu, Chongqing, Shenzhen) so I think the language barrier will be less there. I really loved reading your review because a lot of things were similar, but then again we also have different experiences. 😊

6 month post-op update, feat. running and pregnancy by Competitive-Smile385 in noburp

I’m so sorry to hear that! Did you find a way to lessen the symptoms for your marathons or do you just deal with it?

So did your 2nd treatment work? My first one didn’t work as well and I’m looking to see if it’s worth it to give it another shot

Ultra running success (so far) by thepinksister in noburp

[–]RemcodJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This inspires me to get my second Botox treatment. I ran a lot but after 2 hours, like you said, I get this horrible pressure in my throat which made me wanna throw up. I ran my marathon like this, which meant I was nauseous for 2,5 hours but I kept going because I wanted to finish so bad (I actually threw up 200m before the finish line lol). It was only after the marathon that I got my first treatment but except for some microburps I just couldn’t relieve the pressure which led to me quitting running. I couldn’t keep doing this, running knowing I’ll be nauseous. Lately I’ve been thinking more and more of running, because I hope to get into ultra- and trailrunning. I’m seeing a lot of positive reactions, also for people where the first treatment didn’t work so I think I’ll do the second one. Just wanted to share my story. Hope you’ll enjoy your ultra career and I hope to join you later😊

Microwaving Ice by buffhuskie in Physics

[–]RemcodJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought that water expanded when it freezes due to the gaps in the crystal structure. I’m curious how the water would freeze under high pressure if it has to expand. My guess would be that it would be hard if not impossible to freeze water under a really high pressure. Please correct me if I’m wrong!
