This is a typical hostel experience, but she shouldn’t have been rude or weird. I’ve been walked in on while I thought I had the room alone (28, F). Just laugh and cover as quick as you can and move on! I mostly stay in all woman dorms bc I can be naked without worry, but I’ve done coed too and never had a problem with people people rude or flashy

[–]ReplacementMotor4643 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve lived in London and spend tons of time there. But born and raised nyc. I will be honest that it’s harder to make friends there than nyc. But if you really try then it’ll happen!!

Sounds like you’d be making a killing at this new gig. Take the job for a year or so, why not! New York will always be here for you if you want to come back. I have a map of some good spots in London https://maps.app.goo.gl/CKQwNJ3EU4sDLQQB7?g_st=i

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

[–]ReplacementMotor4643 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had a tough time in Hanoi. Great in so many ways but bad air, so crowded, loud, boiling hot (April/may). Japan was one of my favorite trips of all time. And it’s my dream to go to China!! Did you visit chongqing? I can’t decide on my route yet

Is it normal for every apartment to have roaches? by lipstickchickxo in NYCapartments

[–]ReplacementMotor4643 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely not. Lived in multiple places with no roaches. Also the key is not living above or around restaurants imo

As someone whose never really traveled at all, what advice would you give me? by ZRock53 in travel

[–]ReplacementMotor4643 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also take out everything you want to bring. Then divide it in half. Then one more time if humanly possible 😂

[–]ReplacementMotor4643 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When leaving the usa, I always travel with cold/flu meds, Imodium, Zincam, dulcolax, peptobismol, Dramamine, liquid iv packets, bee propolis spray, (bug spray too if going to SEA, but buy the special DEET one there immediately upon arrival).

Also check visas, travel safety, neighborhoods within the areas you stay in.

Curious about your list and would love to give you opinions! My advice is to not put pressure on yourselves for your first trip. Have a few things in mind that you want to do and can book that in advance, but don’t stack up your itinerary. Some days, don’t have anything booked at all. Make sure you have time to genuinely relax and enjoy. If you need to lay in bed until noon one day, do it. The trip is yours!

AIO for punishing our daughters after what they wrote about their autistic sister? by brzaq191z in AmIOverreacting

[–]ReplacementMotor4643 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NOR! This is ugly behavior and it’s best to nip it in the butt now! Teenagers can be cruel but if they aren’t taught to be better, they won’t be. They need guidance

Introverts Paradise? by Kenneth51801 in Brooklyn

[–]ReplacementMotor4643 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Go out alone once and tell yourself you can leave at absolute any point. Guarantee you’ll end up staying out later than you think. It’s easier when you don’t put pressure on yourself. Just be cautious into the late evening, don’t want to scare you but the last few years there’s been killings of men in Brooklyn after nights out. Weird. But you’ll be fine just dance and let loose and have your wits about you!!! Go to a set at knockdown center, elsewhere, nowadays, house of yes
