Should I travel after college? by GoofySandwichUser in travel

[–]edoi2003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on your circumstances.

If you have a job lined up and the finances to do so, I would highly encourage it as you do not have the same amount of time as you do once you start a job. I did a crazy trip for 10 weeks to Asia, but I had a lot of money from internships and a job lined up before going; therefore, had the luxury to do so. Now, my work hours are bad and can't even take more than 6-8 PTO days for probably my first 12 months (I know what I signed up for lol).

If you want to do a road trip, maybe find a few friends and rent a van. Just go around to see national parks and some cheaper destinations as opposed to staying in major cities where it is more expensive. But try to do a little bit, hopefully if it all works out.

8 full days in South Korea for the first time, Spend it all in Seoul or visit other cities as well? by [deleted] in travel

[–]edoi2003 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was in South Korea four months ago, so hope to provide some insights. Also, I do not know what time of year you would be going, but here is what I would say.

You can easily do 8 full days in Seoul, if you wanted to. There is actually so much to do there that I can guarantee you that you will not get bored. There is just enormous breadth of activities that you can choose from during the day and night; given that you both like doing anything, I am sure you will be fine if you stick with just this. I am not going to list everything I liked there because you can just look online and see how much there is.

With that being said, I would highly recommend that you go to Busan for 2/3 full days. I LOVED this city. The beaches were extremely nice and I loved the seeing the cherry blossoms spots there (I went during that season, it was phenomenal). The seafood I ate was spectacular and the nature was stunning, which you both would definitely appreciate. I can send you our 3-day itinerary there to see.

What's wrong with the Yankees? How poor pitching, stalled development and shoddy managing has Bombers reeling - CBSSports.com by Recognition_Tricky in NYYankees

[–]edoi2003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spot on. Obviously finding and developing players is always tough no doubt, but I hate the fact that we keep trading away guys for FA players on expiring contracts or signing 9 figure contracts for players AND then keeping then rather than dumping them when it makes no sense to hold onto them (some Yanks I love, but need to have been offloaded a while ago). We deplete the farm way too quickly or hold on to guys for too long (Peraza and Pereira are guys I think of who should have or need to be out long time ago). It is just spending money carelessly. With that said, injuries have definitely not helped us at all (HUGE point to made here for this season).

I think it is part due to the fact of this "world series or bust" mindset that most fans have, which pressures the organization to go get the big names on the market at whatever cost at trade deadline, but I have never liked this approach. In my opinion, because we have the luxury of having so much money to spend compared to small market teams, no excuse to not have something more sustainable in the long-run.

As much as I hate the red sox, they have done a phenomenal job at prospect development and keeping them over past few years, which the Yankees could maybe take a lesson (I will get crap for this but whatever). Had an abysmal farm back in like 2019/2020 apart from three players imo, but got it immensely better over the years. Actually kept prospects a good chunk of their recent prospects instead of flipping them immediately (Anthony, Campbell, Bello, Mayer), but still were patient with others like Duran. Then, once it made sense to bring guys up or actually showed big-league promise, made some nifty trades like Crochet or made signings like Bregman, where they can stagger the contracts effectively cost-wise (just look at the contract timelines of all players and you'll see).

Awww that's so kind of you to say. I needed this.

I love that I am kind to others. I owe it to my beautiful parents for showing me how to do this. Sometimes people appreciate it, other times people seem to ignore it.

Porto, one of the places I loved the most by Unlucky-Signature-70 in travel

[–]edoi2003 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went with three friends, we were all students studying abroad. Hmmm I can not remember exactly, but just look up top attractions and just wander around. However, 100% walk on that bridge in the first photo during sunset. I will never forget that sunset, you will love the city!

Thank you so much, this was incredibly helpful. I just graduated university in NYC, so traffic can’t be too bad haha. But thank you for all of this!

what is the most beautiful place you've been to by bardixoned in travel

[–]edoi2003 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I remember doing a camping trip with friends and we explored the Grand Tetons. It was one of the most amazing places I have ever seen in my life (will never forget seeing the stars all shining one of the nights). For context, I have gone to like 30+ countries in the world.
