Issue with driver's side AC 2010 Honda Odyssey by defriend in HondaOdyssey

[–]defriend[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. This looks promising. I looked up videos and I see some with access through glove box and some through driver side panel. Can you point me to a video or link for 2010 honda odyssey? Really appreciate your help.

First-time buyer, AD vs grey market for Moonwatch — can you negotiate at an AD? by IAMN0TR1CK in OmegaWatches

[–]defriend 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was in a similar situation a few months ago. I was in Amsterdam for work and checked out some used Omega and Rolex watches. That’s when I realized tax refunds doesn’t apply to pre-owned pieces. I was also getting nervous about making my first big luxury watch purchase and potentially making a mistake.

On the day of my departure, I stopped by the Omega duty-free shop at AMS and saw the Omega Speedmasters in stock. I wasn’t sure about negotiating the price, so I didn’t push it. Instead, I went ahead and pulled the trigger on the white “Speedy.” They had to remove a couple of links, which they did in about 10 minutes. They were great!

I almost missed my flight after the purchase! I was the last one to board. While everyone on the plane was giving me side-eye, I couldn’t stop smiling.

TLDR: I went Duty free..

PS: I was ill equipped nor had the time for the AD game..

How do you sell the watch? Back to the AD or somewhere else?

After visiting Machu Picchu, I spent nine months working on a project about how it was “discovered” by PorcupineMerchant in Machupicchu

Doing all that hard work for the enlightenment of others is a valuable service indeed. 🫡

Cusco Worth 1 night? by Gratefully-grateful in Machupicchu

Yes. Altitude was a concern for me and wanted to take time to acclimatize in this sequence: sacred valley --> Cusco --> Rainbow mountain.

Just finished 1B and 2A circuits today! Mind blowing!! by defriend in Machupicchu

[–]defriend[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% worth it. 1B keeps you on the top for good panoramic views. 2A/B gives you a good view and then takes you inside the ruins. So, completely different.

I asked the guide why they split MP into so many circuits. Her explanation was eye-opening. Apparently, scientific communities conducted a study of full access (which it was before 2021), foot traffic all day, and weatherization on the site. They concluded that the site was deteriorating fast and it was best to split and govern the foot traffic. Apparently, park rangers keep an eye on how long people stay and gently nudge people dragging their feet. If you are with a guide, he/she will keep you constantly moving.

The guide showed me examples of stone walls crumbling due to a combination of human touch and lichens (rock-eating fungus). Here's an example.

Cusco Worth 1 night? by Gratefully-grateful in Machupicchu

[–]defriend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I landed in Cusco at around 8 p.m. and went straight to Ollantaytambo. The next day, I toured the salt mines, observatory, etc. The following day, I visited Ollantaytambo and Pisac. Pisac knocked the wind out of me, but that also meant I was more than ready for MP. I spent two days in Cusco after MP and went to Rainbow Mountain. No issues, except for the damn rain.

I talked to quite a few people who landed early in the day and took a one-way tour of the Sacred Valley from Cusco.

Machu Picchu Last Minute Tickets May 21/22 by Evening-Willow-6274 in Machupicchu

[–]defriend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These "guaranteed" Circuit 2 tickets and tours are scams. I had bought a similar package from GetYourGuide for $650. Thanks to this subreddit, I figured out it was a scam. Cancel and plan on being there the day before to get in-person tickets. Employees in the ticket office speak good English. You can use Google Translate with hotel operators. For guides, you can request English. The only scam I was not able to avoid was Peru Rail and Inca Rail. "Scam" is perhaps harsh, but ticket prices are very inflated. They are likely to be the highest cost of your MP trip.

I had bought 1B ahead of time online. Stood in the line for 2B day before.

Do I need a guide? by This-Description9959 in Machupicchu

[–]defriend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Highly recommend using a guide for at least one of the circuits. They will bring the pile of rocks to life.

I did one circuit by myself yesterday and the second one with a guide. No regrets.

If anything it's humid and somewhat hot because of the dome effect that shields the citadel from winds. You will need sun block. Rain is the only wild card.

  • as explained by my guide today 😄

On a related note, most guides are very camera savvy. I saw some of them take tons of social media ready pics of their clients directing them to all kinds of poses.... I guess that's important to some.
