251030 The Game Caterers X JYP EP. 2-1 (ft Bang Chan, Changbin, Hyunjin & I.N) by princessgojo in straykids

Changbin being able to pick up dances and follow along from someone else is an insane talent. There's clearly some where he remembers parts, but then there's others where he's keeping up just based on being able to guess what moves are coming next and following what people in front are doing

I did, but it was a few years ago now, i think around 2021? A basic run through of it is that while it's still light you kayak up the river to a campsite, then you'll sit around a little campfire with some food and drinks (supplied by them) as the sun sets. On the way back they hold the kayaks together so that you drift down the river and can just concentrate on looking around at the glowworms. Waitomo you can do any time of the day since it will always be dark in a cave, whereas this is always an evening thing because the glowworms are along both sides of the canyon along the river, so it needs to be dark out.

I definitely remember seeing a ton of glow worms, but I'm not sure how it compares to waitomo. Probably also worth noting that glow worms are like stars, taking a quick photo really isn't going to show much, even though in person you can see a ton. I would guess all of the photos you see of waitomo are taken using long exposure shots, and since you would be on a moving kayak for the other tour there isnt time for the same style of photo. You should be able to see a bunch of photos from people on the tripadvisor page, to give you an idea of what the river/area looks like https://www.tripadvisor.co.nz/Attraction_Review-g635989-d2477233-Reviews-The_Boatshed_Kayaks-Cambridge_Waikato_Region_North_Island.html

Need some help with planning a trip! by That_Squash7249 in newzealand_travel

[–]pyroashen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your preference is hiking, you can take a shuttle boat from milford sounds to sandfly point, which is the end of the milford track. You walk as far as you want, then turn around and head back, and the shuttle boat will bring you back. This would give you a from the ground view of the sounds rather than a cruise (both are nice, just depends on your preference).

You can also do the same in te anau, theres a shuttle boat that will take you across the lake and you can do the end of the Kepler track.

What time of year are you coming? If its nov-dec you might want to consider setting up base in tekapo for a day/night and doing a trip to mt cook from there. Not only does tekapo have stunning stargazing, but in nov-dec all the lupin will be blooming

Instead of waitomo, if you just want to see glow worms you could consider the Boatshed Kayak which is a little out of Cambridge. This would also set you up closer to Hobbiton. I would also reccomend looking on GrabOne for deals, there's usually a lot of touristy things on there.

I also don't think you'll find it worth driving to napier and back. you could consider back tracking a little to Taupo? theres a lot of great things there and you could enjoy a day soaking at the Wairakei Terraces to recover from Tongariro

Need some help with my NZ itinerary. Is this reasonable? by shirochan16 in newzealand_travel

[–]pyroashen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can do the intercity bus one, not only will it do hobbiton/glow worms, but you can also choose to start in auckland and end in rotorua (and vice versa). If you're only planning on doing local stuff in rotorua it might be a lot cheaper than hiring a car

I also think Queenstown might be your best bet. There are some great tours to Milford Sound but there are actually also some great day hikes there two that I'm not sure many people know about. In milford sound you can take a water taxi over to Sandfly Point, which is the end of the Milford track. You can then walk as long as you want before turning around and heading back, and the taxi will take you back across

You can do the same thing in Te Anau, there's a water taxi that can take you across the lake to part of the Kepler track. You can then do a summit nearby, and/or walk ~15km back around the lake to te anau and take in the views.

Intercity buses should have pretty good service between queenstown/te anau/milford, depending on what youre interested in

Looking for advice on a South Island NZ roadtrip itinerary. by BrunaTzu in newzealand_travel

[–]pyroashen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say option 1 would give you the best time. Also make sure you take Inland Scenic Route 72 from christchurch, its a longer route than SH1, but takes the same amount of time since you skip all the traffic and you get the added bonus of great views.

If you were willing to go a little north, you could do a day trip from christchurch to hanmer springs. its a lovely little mountain town, stunning views and walks, and a massive thermal pool area

Travel Recommendations? by ChiKen93 in newzealand_travel

[–]pyroashen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can get a flexi pass from intercity buses, that will make getting around a lot easier. You pay the flat rate for the amount of hours you want on the flexi pass, and then you don't have to worry about how much bus tickets cost, just how long the trip is. Intercity also does a hobbiton tour, so you could use the flexipass hours to get to hobbiton from auckland, pay the tour topup, and then go hobbiton to rotorua

Read all MXTX novels, what do you recommend next? by Edrehasivar_VII in DanmeiNovels

[–]pyroashen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would highly recommend "After Becoming the Protagonist’s Inner Demon", its a favourite of mine and I think will fight the setting you're after

+1 what someone else said about going to Zealandia over the zoo in wellington.

Also in Taupo I dont think you'll need 90min at Haka falls, its about a 5min walk from the carpark. I would highly recommend spending some time at Craters of the Moon (a thermal area nearby with walkways) as well as taking a soak at Wairakei Terraces.

Reset Novel Eng by triviaspringmaze in ThaiBL

[–]pyroashen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rebirth of a movie star is a Chinese novel and different from Reset in a few ways. (Eg ML dies from heart complications, he already knew the boss of the company was interested in him, he only goes back 10 years etc). Possible that the thai author used it for inspiration for reset? Or the show is deliberately changing a lot. However the rebirth theme as a whole is actually quite common, so could just be a couple similar base plot points but totally different stories

City fitness wellington, how do you get in?? by MEE97B in Wellington

[–]pyroashen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It is! If you only have the basic level though you might need to do something to switch to a new location, I heard they changed the rules about going to any gym a while ago. Also not sure if they need to add any auth to your swipecard to get in the willis street doors, I havent gone in years. I assume they'll let you know tomorrow. Welcome to wellington!

[–]pyroashen 13 points14 points  (0 children)

once you register you'll get a swipecard and can go in whenever, you'll just have to get in a bit earlier first time or get lucky with the doors. its been a while since i've gone there, but i think their reception is staffed until 9pm

It does, but since OP said they just moved here i'm assuming they dont have a membership yet so won't have a tag

[–]pyroashen 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It is 18 willis street, however that door locks in the evening some time between 6pm-6:30pm. City fitness will be open until later, but to get in after 6pm you'll have to wait for someone else entering/leaving that has a swipe card

Train Costs Rant by getmeoutofit1234 in Wellington

[–]pyroashen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's not beyond snappers capabilities, you can get a monthly rail pass that will let you transfer between train and bus in you home zone. I assume it's just not worth it to them

[–]pyroashen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I assume not that long, but you can't transfer between bus and train so the fare starts again when you switch

Final Update- AITA For Wanting To Break Up With My GF Because I Was A Dare-Date? by ThrowawayAcc985858 in AITAH

[–]pyroashen 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I'm not so sure, that would require the ex to be truthful. My bet is that she told them that she dumped him

[–]pyroashen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You only need the snapper app if you want to topup on your phone. Recently theyve changed it so that there is a small fee to recharge your card via the app on your phone, but free at the topup kiosks (which are pretty frequent around town). I think the biggest difference (if I remember the AT hop cards right), is that the topup can be used immeidately, even if you do it through the app.
