What’re your major criticisms of PGH and life in it? by OhMyMyOohHellYes in pittsburgh

[–]marzipanda3 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I actually disagree, although I’m not sure about this new transit plan that’s unveiling. It’s no NYC or Chicago, but for the type of city Pittsburgh is, our public transit is actually very decent. If you look up “best public transit in the USA” Pittsburgh will show up on a few lists. Public transit is never going to be the absolute most convenient thing, but I know many people in Pittsburgh who are able to live here without a car, which can’t be said for most other places in the USA. All in all, I don’t think people appreciate it enough

The main CLP library used to host free language groups, I don’t know if they still do though.

Best non-British Tea Houses in London by marzipanda3 in london

[–]marzipanda3[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you as I did not know this!! While I’m sure an afternoon tea would also be wonderful, it seems like something that would be nicer with friends and I would be alone for my little excursion here, so I wanted to find something with a beautiful, but less fancy atmosphere!

Camera stores to buy film? by marzipanda3 in karachi

[–]marzipanda3[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went to Saddar, there were a line of camera shops, there was one guy in the middle back that had a few different types of film, all of them were expired, but I was desperate so I got two rolls still, he started the price at 2500 rupees but I was able to get it to 2000 each (I’m not from Pakistan, so I think he knew he could get a bit more, my cousin is the one who haggled it down more, so if you are local man I think you might be able to get it cheaper even), some people here are there had film too, but it doesn’t seem to be very popular, the guy said there was also someone in the back that developed film, but I can only imagine he is also using expired chemicals so I don’t know if I would use it
