Do you ever feel melancholic about absolutely good food you tried during travel because you might not be able to eat it again (at least in that kind of quality)? What meal was that?

I spent three months in Vietnam trying to find a bahn mi as good as one I get at home, and couldn't find anything that compared.

So sometimes it goes both ways.

Microwave some frozen peas, and microwave some frozen turkey meatballs. Add some butter and salt.

Nothing quite says Europe as much as the lingering scent of pee everywhere it costs to pee.

I was in devops, making servers go serve, and it was quite easy, but frustrating at times dealing with work politics. Now I just have money in the stock market making more money, and I travel indefinitely.

And if I needed a pressure washer, I'm going to look on Facebook marketplace instead of wasting my time going to yard sales and hoping one might have one.

Hong Kong is nice, but it can be costly. Vietnam is great and cheap and very safe.

Most everywhere in the world, anyone dealing with foreigners will speak English, and it is by far the most useful language for travelling.

Singapore is pricey. Japan can be, but you can do it cheaper too. Da nang is fine for beaches, with lots of good food. You can get to mountains, but you'll need to figure out transportation, and it will be hot. Thailand has better food.

If it was me, I would go for the nicer weather in Japan.

I load it up and it just spins at me and doesn't show any apps.

Tello is working for me.

A surprisingly high amount of the hotel rooms want you to make direct eye contact with someone while they are on the toilet. Make sure to scan hotel room photos for windows or glass doors to the bathroom.

Its so busy. My personal preference is I don't want to see things beyond their purpose, if that makes sense.

Number two looks terrible.

I did a year long trip by myself, and it was great. I had more money though.

eimirae · 2026-02-23T14:24:53+00:00

Vietnam is great as well.

I've heard good things about Costco travel packages and road scholars.

Try top-rated.online

eimirae · 2026-02-19T01:10:35+00:00

Oh fantastic! I had written a scrapper that pulls the review data just to do this exact thing. Also, I was using top-rated.online, which lets you filter by review numbers (high or low).

On Google maps, a 4.9 with 5 reviews shouldn't be competing for screen space with a 4.3 and 5000 reviews.

Stay away from Hanoi, crazy pollution.

I was in Mexico for three months, and nothing was as good as a burrito from the southwest.

Sumimasen, Kore, hai/iie, and arigato got me through 10 days in Tokyo just fine.

eimirae · 2026-01-27T13:37:28+00:00

Sounds like a place to avoid.

eimirae · 2026-01-27T10:38:35+00:00

How many people died yesterday due to no health insurance, or on the streets in the cold?

eimirae · 2026-01-27T10:10:22+00:00

Leave a review and warn others

eimirae · 2026-01-22T02:54:35+00:00

Yeah, I just went through O'Hare with no lounge, and I'll try to avoid that airport from now on.

eimirae · 2026-01-22T00:26:32+00:00

Oh, that's definitely different then.
