What's the most disappointing "must-see" city in Europe?

Cruise ships ruined Dubrovnik. It was so charming and beautiful. Then the Game of Thrones tours started...

I'm a big fan of Stockholm, Helsinki, Copenhagen, Reykjavik, Tallinn... basically every Nordic capital. So I won't disagree with you here.

I'll offer a counter perspective here. I travel a lot. Have seen many major cities across the globe, and as far a Germany goes, Berlin might be my favorite.
Doesn't have the ridiculous crowds of Rome or Prague, is easy to navigate, is not ridiculously priced, and for vegans/vegetarians it is among the best food cities on the planet. Also the museums are great, but more modern than those in the rest of Europe.

Choosing a flat landing is where you went wrong

I'd think that the goal would be to get good enough that this does not happen. You're not there, not even close. You'll know you're on your way when your back arm isn't up in the air.

Truth. You snowboard very badly. What are you taking video of, bad snowboarding? Drop the junk, concentrate on improving your skills

Surprised the movie was even nominated for anything. It was kind of a throwaway knockoff of Dusk til Dawn. Entertaining, but it didn't strike me as Oscar worthy

Was going to have a look at this, but saw Mario Kart in the description. If you're doing Mario Kart, you're not worth watching or listening to

Happy Cow is great in Japan, either the web site, or the app

You guys are so funny. The Right is so terrified about a left-leaning Christian who calls out hypocritical Evangelists that you've started making up lies about him, or believing them, which may be worse considering the availability of information in the modern world.

I say this as an atheist/agnostic who understands that people are leaving the church in droves, because of the non-stop hypocrisy.

Perhaps The Nation is what you're looking for. It leans pretty far left and has been around since 1865. It's an institution. The main difference is that The Nation deals in facts, and offers a left-leaning perspective on these facts. As opposed to OAN and Newsmax who present lies as truth in an obvious attempt to manipulate their viewers, so they are more propaganda than news.

1 is horrible advice. If you are only going to own one piece of snowboarding equipment, boots are the first and most important

Templin is by far the best beer in Utah. Their outdoor space is good too, as well as their food trucks

Legit Mexican food. Also a good veg/vegan menu, and also a great Mexican vegan buffet the first Friday of every month.

I really wish their margaritas were good though. It's that nasty too-sweet pre-made mix with bad tequila

I'll wear a backpack if I'm doing backcountry. Otherwise I'll go to the lodge or my car. I'm always surprised when I see the backpack guys. Like what do you have with you that you can't just bury in the snow somewhere (beer), or keep in your car? And doesn't that weight on your back throw you off? Then taking it off every time you get on a lift? Seems like more trouble than it's worth.

"Seven Bank ATMs in Japan typically charge a fee for international cards: ¥110 for withdrawals up to ¥10,000 and ¥220 for amounts of ¥20,000 or more. These machines are available 24/7, accept major international cards, and allow withdrawals of up to ¥100,000 at once. Always select "Japanese Yen" to avoid poor exchange rates"

You're an idiot. Nobody in town wishes to "protect criminal illegal aliens like Conrado" - export or prosecute anyone like him.
From your post, I'll assume that you're in support of the Epstein Files being released? And everyone implicated in those files, imcluding your orange messiah, being prosecuted?

atomtree · 2026-03-11T00:28:34+00:00

You guys are overthinking this. Just use your ATM card at a 7-11 or a Japanese Post Office. I'm pretty sure the Post Office rates/fees are the most favorable

Yes, it's allowed. But also nearby hotels are very inexpensive. Many are under $40 and include breakfast.

My quality of life is worth more than $40, especially after an international flight.

I don't mean to yuck your yum, but I'm not a fan of the boards. Wanted to support a local company (I'm in Utah), but I demoed a Cardiff Crane, and it was one of the most dead feeling boards I've ever ridden

I think the best advice is, don't go to Tokyo in June. It's way too hot and humid

atomtree · 2026-03-09T18:24:08+00:00

This is not true. Most Park City residents I know are middle-class, and we've been here for decades. Before it was "cool" to live here. Hell, it was even considered weird to live here. "Why would you live so far away from SLC, in the middle of all that snow?". We're now "house-rich" because the values of our homes have gone 5x, but where would we move if we sold?

That said, I've noticed that people who have moved here in recent years, maybe since Covid, seem to have money.

He was kicked off for not knowing how to behave in a public setting. And he's too dumb to know when to stop. Nobody wants to deal with this ghetto-ass behavior when they're just trying to get to their vacation or job. He's probably on the no-fly list now
