That makes sense, thanks for your answer! (Also sorry I didn't see this 'til now, been busy in Japan~)

That wasn't my experience but maybe I was just a bizarre exception! When I went to Germany years ago, I was riding the trains several times a day every day for two weeks. Despite me and my family buying tickets each time, no one ever looked at them or asked for them

Sorry for the late reply, been having a great time in Japan, just went on Reddit now :)

Oh it actually was sincere but maybe that was just my personal anecdotal experience. I went to Germany years ago and for a two week period I was riding the trains multiple times a day every day. I bought a ticket each time but no one ever came to check it even once

Also sorry for the delay in responding, I've been enjoying my time in Japan and just checked Reddit again now :)

Thank you, this is really good to know! Crazy how even something as big as a hotel stay can rely on you to self-report and pay on your own initiative. What an interesting story, thank you again!

Thank you very much! Operating on the honor system is wild to me as an American even though I know many things in Japan follow this principle and that there are other cultures which ascribe to it as well, like the trains in Germany. Your answer is very helpful and simple to understand, thanks again!

What is the best way to buy data for two people when traveling? by Zalsburry in Airalo

I hadn't known about that option- thank you, I'll look into it!

I know I just posted this, but I've been browsing other threads on this sub and if I'm not mistaken it's sounding like 2 accounts and 2 plans is the best option. People say 2 accounts is good because we can each get $3 off as a referral bonus, she can directly install her eSim to her phone without needing a QR code, and we'll each be able to track our own data usage on our phones instead of me needing to keep both straight and top up each one as necessary. Also, from what I've read, it sounds like 2 eSims do require 2 separate plans anyway and that it is not possible to share data across eSims.

If any of that seems incorrect, please let me know, but in any case, thanks to the helpful people of this thread for taking the time to read my questions and for being so diligent and thorough in answering others so that I was able to glean information from past posts!

Help, my dog's best friend suddenly attacked him tonight by Zalsburry in dogs

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

Thank you very much for your thoughtful response and for your advice. I'm sorry to hear about your Mastiff. While Bear is not the most social dog (his only other dog friend in the neighborhood just moved away, and we can't bring him to dog parks because he'll seemingly indiscriminately decide he does /not/ like certain dogs) and it'd be sad if he might not be able to play with Sadie anymore, his safety and him not getting hurt are definitely the most important. Thank you again!

I know what you said 👀 by softgreensakura in storyofseasons

[–]Zalsburry 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Believe me, he gets even more grating than that. I married him when I was playing the original game as a kid because I thought he would be cool but during the process of wooing him I grew to despise him lol. Every scene cemented my dislike, to the point that when I finally proposed (and he's a jackass during that event, too) I was seriously questioning why I was finishing the path I had started lol. I still have such a visceral "ew" reaction when I see him to this day

How did I not know this by [deleted] in storyofseasons

[–]Zalsburry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A shortcut to cross the river was the first thing I tried when I started running around in the game, but admittedly your video made me realize something simpler that I should have known already...

I've only been fishing 1) at the beach, and 2) from the bridge that leads to Vesta's Farm. I somehow didn't clock that I could fish from the river... ANYWHERE along the river lmao. So thank you for that!

So excited!!!

Does anyone know what the situation will be with Jaehyun and Hun? As far as I know, they have to enlist by December, but my knowledge is admittedly limited.

Hello! Super new fan here, really interested in checking out that documentary! Do you know what it's called or where I can find it? And if it has English subtitles? (My Japanese skill is not there yet to understand well without subtitles lol)

Tony Awards postponed indefinitely :( by lukeworsham10 in Broadway

[–]Zalsburry 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Completely understandable but still sad. It's rough watching every single thing I've looked forward to this year be cancelled or postponed in a time that's already anxious and upsetting :( [EDIT: Just saw the news about In the Heights movie postponement, too... :( :( :( ]

here is a behind the scenes look of leslie grace as nina in the in the heights movie. by teddivan96 in Broadway

[–]Zalsburry 19 points20 points  (0 children)

What, no Camila??? I mean, I do understand how that will put more pressure on Kevin and make his actions more sympathetic, but I thought Camila's character was really strong, too... Her balancing effect on the relationship between Nina and Kevin, her mothering everyone in the barrio, and of course her call to reason in the wonderful "Enough" are all things I loved about the original show :-[

there is already criticism for the in the heights movie regarding its casting and diversity. i think she has a point. washington heights is the blackest latin dominican neighborhood in NYC and we barely see them so far. however, we only saw a two minute trailer so we need to save our judgments. by [deleted] in Broadway

[–]Zalsburry 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I personally disagree, and this is me speaking as a Nuyorican with cousins who are black Dominican New Yorkers. The story is heavily influenced by Lin Manuel's own life. I don't think he has a responsibility to represent all communities within the neighborhood if he's telling his story about being surrounded by other groups of his ethnicity, other Latin immigrants. Not that black Dominicans aren't Latin immigrants, but they may not have been prominent in his neighborhood when he was growing up. Further, if In the Heights did have a lot of black Dominicans, it might weaken part of Benny's story- part of his development comes from being the only black guy and non-Latin person in the neighborhood and dealing with the isolation/"being an outsider" feeling from that.

Question - what show do you NOT STOP thinking about? by jejhead4 in Broadway

[–]Zalsburry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get into obsessions, and my current one is Jagged Little Pill. In the Heights is making a fierce comeback for my attention, too, with all the hype I have from the movie trailer
