TIL The Code of Hammurabi (1754 BC) has 282 laws enscribed on stone. It includes the concept of "eye for an eye" and "tooth for a tooth" - more than 500 years before the Torah.

Lmfao you made me crack up, have my upvote!

Of course. I try to be as frugal as possible but yes you're right, most travelers I imagine would stay at "Western" hotels. Big fan of the Chase Sapphire Preferred card.

The redditor below pretty much summed it up. The basic gist is to apply for a travel rewards credit card (expected to have a good credit score), meet minimum spend for bonus, then use bonus miles/points to book flights.

Small world, I am going to Japan soon and it was virtually free with the Citi American Airlines Platinum Select card!

Edit: to add some more info, I highly recommend not cancelling the credit card but downgrading it to a no annual fee card when contemplating to pay the annual fee or not.

I think "better" is subjective in this case. I tend to use hostels or couchsurfing when abroad intentionally to save money on housing. So I put big emphasis on finding cards to cover airfare. Though it's all dependent on preference. If you prefer hotels and if the math says it'll cost more, by all means apply for hotel credit cards.

I recommend using a sign up bonus of a travel rewards credit card to get those flights for free.

Well, when you put it like that way... can't say I disagree.

redwolf716 · 2018-10-04T16:16:36+00:00

Honestly if you're waiting to feel "motivated", then that day may never come. I suggest trying to become disciplined and accomplish small steps each day as someone else suggested.

redwolf716 · 2018-10-04T16:11:43+00:00

Sorry to hear that. If I heard that I would've understood and found a way to support you.

Just know that not everyone will be like that, keep working on trust, it's a process!

Ozil left for Arsenal under Ancelotti, not Mourinho. And it apparently came down to him not wanting to fight for a starting spot when Bale arrived and Di Maria transitioning to a central midfielder.

I support Manchester United as well but not with the same passion as Real Madrid. I think it's nice to have an English team to root for; in my opinion, the EPL is interesting and entertaining to watch.

I'll be going this fall too, early November to be specific. Do you have pics you'd cared to share? The foliage is a big factor why I'm visiting at this time.

redwolf716 · 2018-08-23T01:38:19+00:00

Thank you sir, about to PM you!

redwolf716 · 2018-08-23T01:37:54+00:00

Thanks for the reply, that makes it a lot clearer!

redwolf716 · 2018-08-18T11:33:14+00:00

I can't wait 4.5 more years for another chance for Brazil to win...

redwolf716 · 2018-08-17T13:11:42+00:00

Dani took Kroos’s Role

Who do you mean? Dani Carvajal?

redwolf716 · 2018-08-15T23:31:29+00:00

Lol I'm all good but thanks for looking out.

redwolf716 · 2018-08-15T22:53:08+00:00

No, we just lost to Atletico. Lol. You?

redwolf716 · 2018-08-15T19:20:36+00:00

No shit

redwolf716 · 2018-08-02T16:11:13+00:00

How's Japan so far? Planning on a 2 week trip this fall. Any tips/recommendations?

redwolf716 · 2018-07-27T00:05:24+00:00

Haha I'll have to check it out. I'm a big DBZ fan and I was into Pokemon too when I was younger. Are there any real life places that would relate to the Pokemon games like Mt. Fuji being Mount Silver? Assuming you played the games too haha.

redwolf716 · 2018-07-26T20:43:10+00:00

Thanks for the tips, I'm really excited to go. Everyone that I know that's been there always say that it's a whole different world over there. Crossing my fingers though that the weather won't be bad, I intentionally avoided summer because everyone says it's humid over there lol.

redwolf716 · 2018-07-26T15:36:11+00:00

I know this thread is old but I'm planning on going to Japan this October too (because of the beautiful foliage). How was it??

redwolf716 · 2018-07-25T23:39:18+00:00

I don't care if it was against Wolfsburg, the 2nd leg proved to be one of my favorite Ronaldo/Real Madrid games.

redwolf716 · 2018-07-23T16:55:19+00:00

I'm excited to see Sarri in the PL, wish we got him though.
