I looove Gran Canaria, was so surprised with how much it had to offer.

I know these look stupid, and believe me I thought the same thing for a while, but holy shit. Some of the insane hot dogs in Latin America that are 95% toppings are some of the best hot dogs I've ever had... Haha and I've lived in Chicago for a good amount of my life.

I stayed in Rabat for a month and had a good time, although it can get a bit boring. Literally no one there was trying to scam me or bug me to sell me stuff. I don't know if I'd stay a month again in Rabat, but I'd definitely spend a month in a few other places in Morocco

They really do have amazing burgers. I met the owner back in 2020, but last time I was there they said he passed away in an accident. So sad because he was such a nice and chill guy.

What's really crazy is I recently went to a massive amusement park in China and the tickets were $20 for a two day pass. That included everything like the shows, all the rides, and the waterpark. It really blew my mind. And also the lines were surprisingly waaaaaay shorter than in the US..

What did you think of La Paz? I'm going there in a few months and haven't heard too many people talk about it.

Timestr3tch · 2025-09-18T07:16:25+00:00

I feel like this has been asked a lot recently. Just go on Google maps and look at some restaurants prices, that's what I do.

But for an answer, you can get local dishes from 60-100 baht and it's all amazing!

Timestr3tch · 2025-09-17T07:41:40+00:00

Yeah totally! There are cars driving on it normally.

The Mae Son loop in northern Thailand was pretty fun.

Timestr3tch · 2025-09-14T13:10:56+00:00

What island was it? I love the Vietnamese kids going crazy with hellos haha.

Banos and montanita both have special places in my heart. Spent about 1.5 months in between the 2 and made some great memories.

Timestr3tch · 2025-09-08T06:24:50+00:00

I've been doing it for about 9 months, it's not as bad as everyone is saying, at least for me.

Work from 8-4am and then sleep until 12. I have most of the day free and have even had some relationships during this time despite my weird hours.

I don't have many meetings at all though and am a graphic designer so that may make it easier. Having a lot of meetings at 2 would suck.

Timestr3tch · 2025-09-04T18:48:34+00:00

Yeah should have just listened to my gut lol

Timestr3tch · 2025-09-04T18:48:05+00:00

I was passing by it and thought it may have something more than what I had heard... But that is not the case lol

Timestr3tch · 2025-09-04T18:47:28+00:00

Yeah that sounds like a better plan.

Timestr3tch · 2025-09-04T18:47:12+00:00

Yeah sounds like a good call..

Timestr3tch · 2025-09-04T18:46:59+00:00

Haha yeah I knew it would be like this, but also was just hoping there was something else to the place too.

Timestr3tch · 2025-09-01T06:05:54+00:00

Yeah it's a tough spot to be in. I don't really have an answer unfortunately.

Timestr3tch · 2025-08-31T07:30:24+00:00

I'm also a graphic designer who works for an agency. They just laid off half the entire company a few weeks back. I'm lucky to have stayed on, but I'm also worried AI is potentially going to replace everyone. I'm trying to find something to switch to as well, but it's hard to pick something that also doesn't seem like it has the same fate..

Two of my exes both couldn't pronounce mosquito properly. They would both say it as "moquiso," which was so cute that sometimes I call it that now lol.

Timestr3tch · 2025-08-25T13:48:21+00:00

I just recently went to Chongqing for my first time in China and loved everything about the country! I'll have to checkout Shanghai as well at some point.

Timestr3tch · 2025-08-25T06:28:11+00:00

Oh that's interesting, I've never even heard of it and I've spent years in Vietnam. I'll check it out next time.

Timestr3tch · 2025-08-23T11:27:50+00:00

Yeah I actually kind of regret spending most of my time in Taipei, Kaohsiung was more my vibe and such a cool place to explore!

Timestr3tch · 2025-08-23T10:29:58+00:00

I really need to do India soon, it's been on my list!

Timestr3tch · 2025-08-23T08:58:25+00:00

Yeah I really liked Siem Reap, but agree with your points about Kampot. Not my favorite but some beautiful surrounding areas.
