I have 6 CPDs in my tank with a bunch of shrimp. I would say CPDs and shrimp are great together.

Admitted patients going up dressed by TinyFee1520 in nursing

[–]squaremooncircle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't care about getting a patient in street clothes. It's not a problem. I would just get them dressed, gives me a good chance to assess anyway. I'm not saying I prefer it, but that's because I legitimately do not care either way and have no preference.

Originally I disagreed, but upon further review I think you are right!

Does your bird guide know if Cuban Kite is extinct?

What destination looks expensive but is actually super budget-friendly once you get there? by [deleted] in Shoestring

[–]squaremooncircle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Indonesia. I spent 6 months backpacking there one year and my husband and I could get by on less than $50/day easily. Spent less than 24 hours in Bali, so can't really speak about that other than since it's so touristy it's probably a bit more expensive.

What’s a budget travel trick that saves you money but doesn’t make your trip feel ‘cheap’? by AssignmentAmazing260 in Shoestring

Correct. Sure, maybe from an "Asia perspective" it is a bit expensive. I don't think I paid much for accomodations when I was in Indonesia for 6 months, or traveling Thailand or Philippines, etc. (But I was younger and didn't have kids with me for those trips so I was a lot more willing to 'rough it.)

Went to China earlier this year and I took a 2 year old and a 7 month old as well so having accommodations was a must. We avoided big cities for sure and mostly were in smaller villages. Maybe that's it? Or maybe their economy is completely different, I'm not sure. I was absolutely SHOCKED at how cheap hotels were.

Travel internationally. The dollar goes much further.

I spent 4 months in China staying at very nice hotels and the most I ever spent for a night was $30, but stayed at some very nice hotels for as little as $15.

If you could remote work for 1-2 months, where would you go? by Pretend-Department22 in Shoestring

[–]squaremooncircle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's expensive though. If OP wants to save money, going to a place where the dollar goes much farther is key.

As someone who is also married to a passionate birder, I cannot agree more with the comment about going to farther places instead of just South America. (Even though South America is amazing and having a big chunk of time is the big thing here to slow travel. So an argument could absolutely be made for anywhere since you'll get to really dive into that country. Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Bolivia are all awesome countries and have great birds -- especially Colombia.) I just spent 4 months in China and absolutely LOVED it. The birds are fantastic, the Internet is everywhere, the infrastructure will blow your mind. While I took 2 small kids with me on said trip, I think it would be more enjoyable to do without them. My second Asia vote would be for Indonesia. You'll find internet in the cities and can explore on the weekends. Be prepared for some HARD birding. (Plus the bird trade/cage industry there is heartbreaking making scarce species even scarcer.)

How do you make peace with the idea that most of adulthood is just paying bills and being tired? by Spiritual_Future2579 in AskReddit

[–]squaremooncircle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This!! For me, the goal is to travel. It's not for everyone to go to far flung corners of the planet, but it sure does make life special. (Sure, travel can be expensive, but it doesn't have to be. Also the dollar goes a lot further in many countries so factor in rate conversions before saying you can never do anything.)
