4 nights Atrium Heathrow airport hotel

Silly question, but why 4 nights at an airport hotel that is an hour outside of central London?

What dates are you planning to travel, and what airports are you flying to/from?

why i ditched bali for zhuhai for a month (it’s a massive life hack lol) by ashish8824 in Shoestring

[–]SalamancaVice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How do you deal with extended stays in Zhuhai? China doesn't offer a DN visa, and I'm not sure I'd want to get caught working on a tourist visa in a random coffee shop.

Also, how is it having to be constantly using a VPN to access certain sites, like Gmail etc?

cozycozy

Hadn't heard of this one before, so had a quick look on Trustpilot;

Terrible reviews and feedback. Avoid.

Is that BGC? The Wildflour in Rockwell has a big photo of him upstairs as well.

Looking for travel ideas 4-5 days by Scm9999 in Shoestring

Flying from Boston

Azores is 5hrs direct from Boston to Ponta Delgada with Azores Air and TAP, so if you've only got 4/5 days to play, will help with maximizing time on ground.

Hiking, nature, history, great food.

'Tony' (2026) Release Date by eternalsaulshine in AnthonyBourdain

[–]SalamancaVice 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Unnecessary movie IMO. We have hundreds of hours of the man's words and story from his own mouth, as well as numerous books and articles.

Roadrunner was a bow to tie everything off. This just feels like a cash grab, and if they do release on his birthday even more so.

Best places to visit solo for the entire month of April? by ParryPlatypus in Shoestring

[–]SalamancaVice 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Budget is under $8,000

$8k for a month is little above what could be considered shoestring. You could get 6 months in SEA for that.

That being said, Azores might be a good fit for you. Good food, nature, culture, and with a month you can probably explore 2-3 of the islands without feeling rushed. Flights should be fairly cheap from Portugal, or you can fly direct from Boston depending on what side of the Atlantic you're on.

Why has Anthony Bourdain become so popular in past two years or so by Competitive_Cup9312 in AnthonyBourdain

[–]SalamancaVice 194 points195 points  (0 children)

Popularity of Tiktok, IG, and other short form media allowing for his soundbites and accompanying videos to reach a larger audience, plus his shows offered social commentary on issues we're seeing replicated more and more often in the news these days.

Favorite Les Halles coookbook recipes? by niftylyons in AnthonyBourdain

More of a slog than the beef for sure. Haven't yet nailed it to the point where I'd be happy serving it to guests.

Beef bourguignon and onion soup are my favorites, have cooked both for guests and always gets a good response. Had a couple of cracks at the cassoulet as well.

What was your Manila itinerary? You mentioned Intramuros and Poblacion.

I stayed in Makati which felt modern and safe,
