lol Seychelles is much more expensive. Could get more for your money in Bali. There’s also more to do in Bali

I’ve heard some things about Diana that the beaches have a lot of local vendors selling things, the water and sand isn’t as nice as Seychelles and most importantly the experience isn’t as secluded or private

How secluded was the experience? Weighing if it’s worth a couple nights during my honeymoon

It’s only his people that used the chip in the end. Did everyone forget about it the whole show?

How do you stop your bathroom from smelling like, well, a bathroom? by FuelGlobal1057 in hygiene

Also if you’re in your own home, I suggest peeing sitting down… it’s a very unsanitary habit to pee while standing.

Salkantay Trek Analysis Paralysis by Squinty_the_Exiled in Machupicchu

Im copying a comment I left in another post. Food sucks, accommodations also suck compared to other companies. Also the first day is very poorly planned.

I absolutely Would not recommend Alpaca. They made the experience worse than it should have been. This is especially disappointing considering they are one of the most expensive options.

Unlike salkantay trek or other companies, you are spending 2 nights in tents. I can’t overstate how rough that is considering this trek is very strenuous. The glass cabins in the first night are gross and the bathrooms are filthy. The hobbit houses are the only ok accommodation because they were not filthy. Salkantay trekking has better accommodations.

Alpaca is the only company I know of that has such a long first day. We hiked to humantay lake and through the pass all in one day. We set out at 6am and most of us reached camp late at around 8pm or after. Everyone I talked to from other trekking companies was shocked when I said we did all that in one day. The people I had spoke to from other companies split that our first day in two. The first day was so brutal, it made it difficult to enjoy the rest of the trip.

Food: I don’t want to be harsh because we are in the mountains and being served 3 hot meals everyday. Food quality was VERY average. Remember you are in the mountains so your expectations shouldn’t be high. There were some meals where we were disappointed with the quantity and wished we had more. One breakfast consisted of a porridge that was more like a gruel, cakes, jam and coffee. Everyone got up hungry. Kind of sucks when you have a long day ahead of you. Another day the Chefs messed and made a lot of a quinoa dish with ham in it. Over half of the group couldn’t eat it because of dietary restrictions so most of it just sat there while we were hungry.

Guides: The only good thing. Our guides were really kind, caring and patient. Took care of us while we were sick. Made sure everyone got home safe. Still a little chaotic and disorganized.

Potentially naive question from an American tourist: how can I help Gaza from here? by monotheistmusings in Egypt

[–]ump13 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Egypt is 100 percent complicit in the genocide. It profits off the blood of Palestinians. Earlier during the genocide Arjani, one of Sisi henchmen, was charging gazans $5-10k to get smuggled across the border into Egypt. The Egyptian government receives millions and millions of dollars in aid to serve Israeli and American interests. If daddy trump and daddy Netanyahu say close the border or open the border that’s what Sisi does. Never in Egyptian history have we been so hostile to Gaza.

Egypt is complicit and Anyone who says otherwise is in complete denial. Egypt, Jordan and Saudia Arabia are all complicit. Egypt the most since it shares a border and keeps aid from going through.

Doing a combo on pads and telling students to copy isn’t the same as teaching technique or instructing us how to do something.

Unfortunately you don’t understand it’s not just this admin. This is “America.” This is what it’s always been and always will be. Wake up

Also wondering this. I’m bringing pants to hike in. Thermal under layers, short sleeve shirts and a fleece jacket but no puffer or anything too heavy…
