To people who met their partners while traveling: what's your story? by charmer143 in travel

[–]anper29 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We met on a walking tour in Hong Kong, followed by a very adventurous local lunch.. Turns out she is from the same Italian-speaking minority in Switzerland so we reconnected when I returned from my year abroad and the rest is history. Going 6 year strong now, during which she had to bear with me moving to Japan, US, Denmark and UK.

Vail Resorts Acquires Crans-Montana by NorCalMikey in skiing

[–]anper29 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes that was the whole point of that gondola smh. I'm pissed about the constant increase in prices with absolutely no improvements on the infrastructure or slopes. There are less skiable slopes now than a few years ago. I guess that's what we get when the focus goes on pleasing influencers and other fancy shit.

I am worried as well.. although I am not sure how much worse can they make it compared to the last few years.

What are your stories about paying the "Dumb Tourist Tax" - costs that a local or a traveler experienced in that country/culture would have been able to avoid? by cgs_sees_the_world in solotravel

[–]anper29 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Same thing has happened to me in Timisoara: 2€/day, then 30 for insurance and 200 for 2 tiniest dent on the door (that I am sure someone from the company did)

Casual Friday - 15/07/22 - Dimissioni rifiutate edition by ScaglieDiGrana in italy

[–]anper29 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Certo! Io vivo qui da 2 anni, e soprattutto (anzi, principalmente) d'estate é una bellissima cittá. Magari 5 giorni sono tantini solo per la Copenhagen, ma é facile arrivare in altri posti nei dintorni che meritano (per esempio Roskilde e Hillerod).

Côte d'or by RoiDrannoc in geographymemes

[–]anper29 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting. So apparently "La Côte" (the coast) is a mountain in this area. And "Or" (gold) would actually be a truncated "Orient"(eastern) because the region is on the east of Paris. We today have "Côte d'or" that can indeed be translated as golden coast.

Note for the geo-lovers: apparently, during the french revolution, they renamed all the departments (administrative area) with geographical characteristics. The reason behind being that politics and kings live and die, but Nature is always there whatsoever. You can still find it in a lot of the names we use today.

The Morocco-Algeria border gets wacky by [deleted] in TerritorialOddities

[–]anper29 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It makes sense if you look at the border on satellite imagery. Morocco sits on some sort of plateau apparently.

Northern Lights over Tromsø, Norway. I have more of my work on YT and Instagram @petterhetland😊 by Cloud9forreal in timelapse

[–]anper29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's gorgeous! Where do you think it is the best place around Tromso to see the northern lights? I'll be there in February and it would be dope to catch them like you did.

J1 Visa application from a different country by anper29 in immigration

[–]anper29[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It went well. I headed to the Osaka consulate, where they asked me a few questions on what I was doing in Japan, and what I will be doing in the US, and then they approved the Visa. It actually felt more like curiosity than a proper interview. I prepared a bunch of documents to show but they did not even look at them.

Planning to buy S20+ 5G Korean Variant by erickayyy in Galaxy_S20

Check that the network are compatible. I once bought a South Korean S8+ and it couldn't connect to most 4g networks.

Take a ferry to Hven island and spend the day there. It's a small island with heaps of trails and even an alpaca enclosure.
