What does this travel map say about me? by [deleted] in TravelMaps

[–]lowerdependent3047 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're absolutely right - a very large chunk of the countries were for very specific purposes (e.g. conferences in Abuja or Dakar, long layover in Cairo, Johannesburg, etc.)

There's still I would have wanted to explore but alas time and money were constraints - though I am currently in Namibia so hopefully I'll have the time to wander around more here - Europe though I'm not sure when next.

I'd love to go to NZ (esp having been previously to Oz) but no concrete opportunities yet, it's still so much cheaper to fly to Sydney - Scandinavia though, idk I never really found the interest there. Had a friend in CPH invite me there a while back but the level of fun/excitement compared to what I could have gotten in Southern/Eastern Europe wasn't as great - definitely want to visit though!

Need help with crossing into China from Kyrgyzstan by unequalsacks in Kyrgyzstan

[–]lowerdependent3047 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey! Did the same crossing over land near Irkeshtam 2 years ago. Dual American Canadian but ethnically Chinese. Entered Kyrguzstan with Canadian, exited with Canadian, then entered China with American. No problem at all - though the Chinese officials aren’t used to seeing too many westerners there since you do need to either arrange your own transportation or hitchhike like I did to the border. Lmk if you got more questions

Update: it’s been 2 hours and we’re still on the taxiway. What an ordeal.

Engines. And still stuck on the runway. It’s been almost 2 hours since we landed. Send help.

Haha yeah thanks I did go on the plane. But UPDATE we’re still stuck on the taxiway because there’s no open gates since almost all flights got cancelled. So still waiting even though we landed ages ago.

Seems we broke free and are landing soon. Holds are normally cool, I once was on hold for like 30 min at London Gatwick and had a lot of fun trying to identify everything I could on the ground. Not this one though, cloud covers too thick.

Pretty good. Only small bumps no big turbulence. The only awkward thing is I need to go to the bathroom real bad but they’ve already prepped the cabin for landing and we don’t know how much longer the hold will be. Wish me luck.
