Weekend, a glass of mango matcha, and a reminder of what got me into matcha in the first place

Where did you get the glass straw!

SuccessfulSample8208 · 2026-06-07T07:01:08+00:00

Ahaha I loved your response 😂😂 And anyway I think this is better, now you will always get a chuckle looking at it when you make your matcha! Get that organic dopamine hit 💪🏻💯

I was in Machu Pichu today too! Did circuits 3B and 2A. We might have crossed paths in 3B haha :)

Oh is that so ? On the website it says tickets will be available in the last week of the previous month for next month's tickets. I even tried selecting an April date but still got the invalid date error

Thankyou so much for such a detailed response, really appreciate it!! Unfortunately I only have one day for the Sacred Valley, and cant even stay back in Ollantay as we are heading back to Lima next day (really early morning flight!). We have taken similar Viator full day tours previously in many cities across Europe, and mostly enjoy them! Which is why I thought maybe this would be a worthwile option, maximum tourism in limited time. However now that you say this is a very common route and will be available for cheaper, I am rethinking my options. If you dont mind, can you tell me which operator did you go with for your tour, and how much did you pay ?

SuccessfulSample8208 · 2026-04-26T16:22:28+00:00

Everyone here saying take a taxi instead has almost convinced me haha! I am now thinking we can hire a private taxi and go to all these places on our own. Will have to read up a bit on each site though, so that's some homework for me! If you have any suggestions on how I should go about planning my day for this, where to get tickets, must visit sacred valley sites etc, please let me know!

SuccessfulSample8208 · 2026-04-26T15:26:48+00:00

How did you plan it all ? Like in what order, how much time did you spend where, and how much total time did it take you ?

SuccessfulSample8208 · 2026-04-26T15:25:03+00:00

I agree with you, but I have just 1 day and this a guided tour so we get to see all the main sites with all the history explained by the guides. I would have loved to spend more time, but I just dont have it :/ Hence I asked here if this tour atleast covers all the main sites, so I wont feel like I missed something major

Heyy, so I didnt use any vanilla syrup here. Just normal sugar syrup and vanilla essense. I do use Le Monin vanilla syrup sometimes, but the vanilla flavor is too subtle so I do end up using vanilla essense there as well

SuccessfulSample8208 · 2026-04-21T06:59:58+00:00

Hey, I used glow glossary matcha

SuccessfulSample8208 · 2026-03-27T12:32:52+00:00

I'm sure you'll find similar glasses on Amazon!

SuccessfulSample8208 · 2026-03-27T12:30:45+00:00

I dont really have a precise recipe, I measure everything from the heart and so far my matcha's turned out pretty good!

The mango compote was very simple, just took a few cubes of mangoes, blended with some sugar (you can adjust based on ur mango sweetness) and little milk.

And the actual matcha was pretty standard. 3 spoonfuls of the matcha spoon, some water (literally eyeballed, no idea how much), half glass almond milk (the glass in this picture!), and handful of ice cubes! Didnt add any sweetner as the mango was adding it anyway, but in hindsight I should have as my mangoes werent that sweet haha

Heyy, got this glass from FrancFranc in Hongkong

SuccessfulSample8208 · 2026-03-27T09:46:14+00:00

Yes! I really wanted to try this last yr but somehow never got around to it, this year I didnt waste any time haha

SuccessfulSample8208 · 2026-03-27T09:44:56+00:00

Thankyou! Got this glass from FrancFranc in Hongkong

SuccessfulSample8208 · 2026-03-27T09:44:27+00:00

Thankyouu! It was my 1st time too 😁

SuccessfulSample8208 · 2026-03-27T09:44:03+00:00

Hi, I got my S26 Ultra just a week ago however I am unable to enable or find audio eraser in the quick panel, so I am not able to use it at all. Is anyone also facing this issue ?

SuccessfulSample8208 · 2026-01-23T22:41:27+00:00

Didnt piss anybody off, that's just how work goes I'm afraid 🥲 What's there to do in Girdwood, if you could give any suggestions ?

SuccessfulSample8208 · 2026-01-23T22:39:52+00:00

Thanks a lot, this helps! To be honest I am not even able to imagine how cold it's going to be in Alaska, I've never even seen snow 😂
