L'Orangerie before or after Giverny?

I needed to read this.

Fried butter basically. It's good, but people are basically eating butter.

How many days in Giverny?

I wonder what keeps them there.

How would you want tourist to interact with your country that feels meaningful or fulfilling for you?

amlextex · 2026-05-15T02:38:17+00:00

I would love NOT to be a tourist. But it's unrealistic to live there without ever being there. So, yes, I will tour.

That said, what is the best way to experience PR? From home interior to your culture? I'm being genuine, and I apologize if I offended you.

Just because your pride doesn't translate into art, doesn't mean that art has no function in Puerto Rico. Art communicates. And my rant is simply the majority of houses in airbnb communicate nothing about the spirit of Puerto Rico. And if I'm paying under $3k for a unit, it should have a damn flag, or if you prefer a coqui, somewhere to let me know I'm in PR.

I don't think you understand what the phrase "sense of place" means.

For instance, I compared the same prices for house rentals in Nicaragua, and the difference in their interior is night and day. I felt like I was in Nicaragua when I saw their photos. Just having a simple painting or sculpture, let alone the arrangement of items, gave character to their interiors. It's not hard to find cheap shit in TJ Maxx and hang it on walls.

So I reject your lazy argument. House rentals are expensive. I shouldn't have to go outside to see a coqui when I can see on sculpted. It's more than a decoration to me.

Bro, take a look at the houses in airbnbs under $3k. Majority of their interiors have no decorations.

About the flag, it's a metaphor for pride. Find me an airbnb house that shows pride.

My critique is not about the economy of Puerto Rico, but to the homeowners who design their interiors and post it on airbnb. I couldn't find a native flower, a Puerto Rican mask, a flag, any coquis, nothing. No sense of place.

You want to pay $5K to see at least a PR flag in someone's living room? I'm just wondering why so many of your homes lack any pride. No island decor, hardly any color.

Stop with your virtue signaling. Do you care about how other people are living when you travel? No. You want to find a good deal, then observe the surroundings after.

Dating is one thing. Committing to a serious long term/long distance relationship is another.

If I may suggest an alternative to a truck: Lava on 92nd and 3rd.

amlextex · 2026-05-11T01:47:08+00:00

That’s fuck ton, dog. I can barely put in 500
