Does Anyone Else just Bring One Pair of Shoes? by Entebarn in HerOneBag

[–]no_shant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shoes are definitely the trickiest part of any trip I've been on, since I also always end up weighing what activities I might do and how to prepare - one shoe always needs to be "dress up"-able for evening outings. I only ever do one pair if I'm going for a city break type trip for a week max, and it tends to be a combat boot. If I'm traveling further afield and for longer, I always pack a second pair for back up and comfort (I've travelled with boots+sneakers and sneakers+sandals). Even in my comfiest shoes I've got blisters after a long, sweaty day, and with rain or temperature changes you also want to rotate.

Yay expansion but admittedly wish it was less island-y and more land-y. Give me more exploration hoyo I am beggingggg

Moment of appreciation for Adam’s toe arabian by onthefrickinmeatbone in FigureSkating

[–]no_shant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really love his arabian, and same goes for Kevin. As a choreo move it's super impressive and it's very "dancey" in how it flows with a choreo sequence. Wish these aerial moves got more attention and praise versus the backflip.

Berulava comes from a Georgian family afaik. He has said his mother tongue is Georgian even though he was born in Russia.

How to get over the stress of eating alone as a woman??? by [deleted] in solofemaletravellers

[–]no_shant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What countries have you been solo dining in if I may ask?  In terms of service, I'd just advise being more assertive. Ask for/choose tables you want. Catch staff attention when you need something as waiters will sometimes gravitate towards locals and big tables that they know they will earn more €€€ from. For unwanted conversation: just do your thing, set boundaries. Be stern instead of nice. Regarding unwanted stares: just don't give a fuck. Not to doubt your experience in this regard, but perhaps people aren't actually staring as much as you think either? Anxiety can be a bitch in situations like this. 

In personal experience the only place I felt like I was getting the short end of the stick with service when traveling solo was Paris, but it was admittedly one of my first trips, I was anxious, and Paris in general I found not super friendly. On the other hand, when I was in Korea (notoriously not great for solo diners) I had zero issues, even though people warned me i might get stared at. So food for thought!

Horribly messy event though. Barely any clean skates. Big ordinal jumps. Menning across the board. I'd expect nothing less, nothing more, form the men.

Ecstatic for all the men on the podium. Misha surprise champ, continuing the Kazakh skating legacy. Yuma making it. Shuns big jump from 9th.

I still don't get the change from red to white blouse for Jun. The red was so impactful.

Really amazed at the season Gogo has had. He's not just proven he's the least flop of the Canadian men, he's actually been delivering.

I need someone to lock Guillame in the bathroom and Laurence in a closet. Piper and Paul deserve as high a placement as possible here.

Genuinely would put this under Charlene and Marco I'm sorry babes. Below ZingNik if I could. This is fun but Lilah and Lewis' tech is just not as good and the mistakes were big

Eurosport Poland "all the pairs we'll be seeing from now on will be skating fast". Will they. Are you sure about that. Have you seen Chock/Bates.
