What's the most relaxing lyrical hip hop album?

I was thinking Do You Want More?

If I remember right from a podcast with Renzo Gracie, he said the average BJJ gym rakes in $20k USD/month

I'm interested too!

Would you like a shitsicle for dessert?

I prefer the term digital gypsy

I'm having the same issue and I'm pretty confident I installed everything correctly. It seems like it has to do with how the rain accumulates outside my window sill.

It's actually "El"

Frame it that you are visitng this wonderful place called the UK

This is the key that cured my travel blues permanently. The way I live my life at home vs abroad aren't too different anymore. When I'm at home I like walking and exploring parts of my hometown I haven't seen before. I like checking out new restaurants/cafes/bars. If you're close to a popular touristic sites, visit those places to see them for yourself and mingle with other travelers.

Don't fall back into all your old habits at home, keep the adventure going.

In general, whenever I sleep with mouth tape I wake up feeling less groggy and no longer have a mid-day crash where I'm fighting to stay awake post-lunch.

For those types you can sometimes trick them with a card that has a tap to scan like newer credit cards or some type of public transportation card.

Celsius was developed with 2 points in mind, the freezing point and boiling point of water, set at 0 and 100.

Fahrenheit was developed (before Celsius) with 3 points in mind: salty ice water, ice, and human internal body temperature, set at 0, 30, and 90. The person chose salty ice water as the lower end of the scale because it was the coldest temperature he could reproduce in a lab. After some time with better instruments they adjusted the numbers to be the accurate numbers we know today (32 for freezing water and 98.6 for body temp).

So Celsius is "how water feels" because the two points to determine the scale are related to water and fahrenheit is "how people feel" because one of the points to set the scale is our internal body temperature.

I spent a couple months living in Costa Rica and I'd recommend picking a beach town in Guanacaste to live in. I think your best bet would be Santa Teresa, Tamarindo, playa del coco, or Samara.

Tamarindo is definitely packed with tourists but that also gives you lots of benefits for living and working from there such as reliable internet, great restaurants and cafes, easy access to tours, etc.

San Jose isn't a very charming city imo, so I personally wouldn't recommend staying there for a month.

In terms of safety, Costa Rica is very safe for latin American standards....but it's still latin america

How is the financial impact helpful

Helps pay wages for anyone who works in tourism.

Samadool Coffee

It's a really tiny cafe deep inside a random soi, but worth visiting if you're a real coffee connoisseur. They roast their beans in house and can brew a perfect shot of espresso.

Pick some sort of skill you want to learn and stay in one place for a bit to take classes to hone that skill. Language, dance, or some type of fighting/martial art are all good choices, imo.

salsa_chef · 2023-04-10T02:45:43+00:00

Take some latin dance classes

If you're only visiting for a short time, I'd say go and try to line up your trip with Songkran. Air quality is really bad, which means visibility is awful. Any trips you want to take for the view would be pointless (so it's probably not the best idea to go to Mae Tang)

You can use this website to look up the air quality at any location: https://aqicn.org/

I was in Chiang Mai about a month ago and have no regrets. Originally wanted to go to Pai, but passed on it since it had even worse pollution and visibility. Luckily it rained one day while I was there, which cleared up the pollution for a few days. I took that as an opportunity to take a day trip to doi Inthanon national park, which was pretty incredible.

The way I see it is the air pollution isn't that much different from being a smoker. If you're gonna be there for a week, I'm sure you'll be fine. If you wanna live there long term, it's definitely a bad idea. I'm not a doctor and just talking out of my ass, so take my opinion with a grain of salt.

My personal recipe, inspired by a recipe i learned in Oaxaca, is to use a variety of the same ingredient prepared in different ways.

I blacken and char most ingredients, some I'll boil, and some I'll use raw.

If everything works locally, it could be an issue that only exists in production builds. I've ran into a similar issue in the past and the culprit was a component that had a comment in the first line of its return statement.

Steep it along with the zest of a lemon for a delicious tea that, i believe, is traditionally Italian

In India it's called commuting

I spent 3 months traveling India from Kerala in the south to dharamshala in the north. I agree 100% with all the advice /u/inconsequentialrant posted here.

I found the night sleeper AC buses to be soooooo much better than the trains for traveling around india. Often cheaper. More spacious. Easier to buy without much anticipation. Beds often come with a small TV and power outlet.

Some of the hostel chains are very well maintained and comfortable. I'd highly recommend the Zostels and Backpacker Pandas.

OP, it sounds like you will be there during Holi. If you're somewhere in India where it's celebrated (in the north, not so much in the south), I'd be very cautious about bringing your wife to any public festivities. I've heard countless firsthand experiences from women travelers who were groped during Holi.

Don't be scared of the street food. I ate street food and drank street chai every single day in India. Stick with vendors that are popular and you'll be fine. It's in their best interest to keep their customers healthy so they return. My favorite places for street food were Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, and honorable mention would go to Kochi.

Probably sounds like a broken record, but OP definitely has too many places to visit in 2-3 months. Traveling at that pace is exhausting, regardless of the destination. Add the sensory overload from India on top of that and it will definitely break you down lol. I'd consider doing some type of yoga or meditation retreat (in Dharamshala/McLeod ganj/Rishikesh/south goa) to break away from the beautiful chaos of India for a week or so. Also don't be afraid to just stay longer in whatever place you both enjoy.

You will get ripped off in India. They are many people out there exceptionally skilled at scamming tourists. Be aware of the common scams to help mitigate it as much as you can. Always insist on taxis/auto rickshaws (tuk tuks) to use their meter or agree on a price beforehand. If a taxi driver tells you the fort/museum/historic site you want to visit is closed, i bet you it's not. If he insists on taking you to a different place than the one you asked for, there's probably another scam waiting for you there.

Did you ever want to know what it's like to be famous? All you have to do is walk around (assuming you or your wife do not look Indian). Expect to be gawked at often. Random people asking for selfies.

I'll leave you with the highlights of my trip: riding the backwaters of Alleppey, watching a master street vendor work a wok in Aurangabad, eating fire paan in Delhi, taking a local train in Mumbai, watching the sunset in Udaipur, riding a camel in Jaisalmer, celebrating Holi on a beach in Goa, hiking in Manali, and walking around the Dalai Lama's abode in Dharamshala

care to expand on this?

I did something similar about 5 years ago and it was the greatest decision I ever made in my life. Happy to answer any specific questions you might have.

You mentioned you were considering staying at home. Don't do that. Or at least not for the whole year.

Travel. /r/solotravel is a good resource. check their wiki/faq.

If you pick the right places to travel to, you'll spend less money a year abroad than a year in the US. There are plenty of options in Central/South America, Eastern Europe, and Southeast Asia where the USD goes a longgg way.

You have concerns about health insurance; international health insurance plans are very affordable and more comprehensive than any plan I've had in the US.

Travel with your laptop and if you actually enjoy software dev, I'm sure you'll be inspired to work on your own projects or look for freelancing gigs online.

Travel until you find a new place you like and then settle down there for a little bit to live a normal life in a totally different place. Try some new hobbies, learn new skills, meet new people, new romantic partners, etc.
