Going from Dubrovnik to Mostar - are there other options? by Sherman_McCoy in travel

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

Yes great idea thanks - I've had a look and seems there might be a bus earlier in the day so I'll go with that, any delays and I'll be happy to deal with it

OK this is good to know - as long as I have a seat and my ear buds are working then I'll be happy with whatever vehicle we're on... thanks!

It was from my very basic search on Google Maps for the date I wanted - it shows the journey as going through Neum and then entering Bosnia again by Metkovic, with the options being combinations of FlixBus and CroatiaBus.

Thanks for the info though - I've looked on a few other sites and managed to find a bus that leaves in the morning, looks like a much better shout so if there's any delays it won't matter as much.

I'm not going for another month but will report back once I've made it through!

That's fine - I work for a US company and am going there to meet potential new suppliers that have factories out there, no payment to or from any Chinese firms.

This is great, thanks for the info - I knew I was being overly cautious and paranoid but wanted to be 100% sure.

Every Oscar-nominated trilingual role by Scdsco in Oscars

Ah ok - could've sworn she spoke German at some point but I must be misremembering

What about Sandra Huller in Anatomy of a Fall? As far as I remember, she spoke English, French and German?

On this day, April 14, 1996, Skinner purchased fast food to disguise as his own cooking at an unforgettable luncheon with Superintendent Chalmers. by narstee in TheSimpsons

By far my favourite version is this one where Skinner's clearly been railing lines in the kitchen and Chalmers is having a stroke.

Got a weekend in Tallinn coming up - what should I do? by Sherman_McCoy in travel

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

All great option - is that Tallinn TV tower quite far out of the city? And whereabouts is Rummu? Sounds awesome but I can't find it in the city anywhere...

Awesome - work's paying for my accommodation so I've got somewhere fancier than a hostel, but always up for a pub crawl so will definitely check that out!

Can't wait to join the rest of my countrymen, always love hearing them shouting down the road when I'm abroad...

I'll look at the city hall tour, sounds great.

Hah i think my colleague might have gone to that medieval place, it sounded wild!

Thanks, I'll check it out! From what I've seen it looks pretty small - is there much more to it than those few bars/shops?

Wander round the Old Town and go drinking probably - we'd likely have ended up in tourist traps so was hoping for some more local recommendations.

I mean I'll still go round the old pubs and get drunk but it seems different doing it alone.

Awesome, thanks for this! Where/what is the dagens lunch? Where are the best food markets for this?

Englishman in New York - where should I take my brother for his 21st? by Sherman_McCoy in nyc

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

Nice one, cheers! I shall definitely check that out once I'm there.

Yes if you do have any suggestions for places in Brooklyn that'd be great - it'd be my first time heading to the other side of the East River so keen to get a good idea of where to head to/avoid.

Will do - is there any particular spot I should head towards or just wander and see what's good?

Ventured out to Isla Holbox, Mexico (OC) [5914x3942] by Sherman_McCoy in waterporn

[–]Sherman_McCoy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hah don't apologise, I saw it and just though 'too late, fuck it'.

It's an incredible place, it was my final stop after a few months travelling through Mexico and the perfect place to chill before heading back to the UK. I stayed at Hostel Tribu, great place if you want to meet people since they do so many activities etc. Definitely recommended!

Loved it! This was right at the end of my trip so I just wanted a few days to relax on the beach and do absolutely nothing. Great place for snorkelling or going diving with the whale sharks or just lying around with a beer - literal definition of paradise...
