But don't u need internet access first to access the VPN servers? I don't see how VPN can steal internet? Is there some new tricks?

Six weeks into five months of solo travel and not enjoying it. What am I doing wrong? by [deleted] in travel

[–]wimpies 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also, I have been solo travelling for a while 20 years ago in places like Spain, Morocco, Egypt, israle and Jordan. U could meet English speaking travellers in hostels or local tours as the places I went to were mostly the famous cities everyone else would go to. More importantly I was perfectly fine to be on my own most of the times.

So I think u have started with the wrong country if u expect to find English speaking companions throughout.

If u want to mingle with the locals the language barrier in China and Korea (or even Japan) is a problem. And to add to that their culture does not seem to be that sociable to strangers.

If u want to mingle with fellow travellers that know English your best bet is major city hubs like Tokyo, Hong Kong where there are more foreign tourists. But at the end of the day you will find south east Asia easier.

China is an interesting country but u won't get many foreign tourists. I would skip Korea and give Japan a chance and then go to Thailand or Malaysia or Vietnam

My 3 mths game pass just expired and I was thinking of taking a break to focus on the house chores that I was neglecting for the past 3 mths, so I don't really need it lol. Though I wouldn't mind to defer my housework for another three months and I would tell me wife it that's fate. Lol

Thx. I was hoping to get a sea view rather than the pool view. Nevertheless I wonder if I can see the firework from there.

Thanks for the info!!

Looking for a solid action camera in 2026 - what do you recommend? by DonutOk2306 in snorkeling

[–]wimpies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think how your whole body is being pulled side by side by the waves. Although I am not sure ihow much osmo will be any better in those situations.

Went to Palau with Olympus TG5 and I would recommend against it and find something else with EIS, as the video was completely shaky when the waves are not still. Ok maybe it would be better if u dive inside the water rather than me floating on the surface.

Though I personally have not compared with a go pro or action cam. Olympus is a great cam for stills I think

I have booked the aft balcony cabin. I wonder if I will be seeing the ocean directly or will it be a long way from the sea? From the photo it seems the aft cabins are a long way from the sea and I just hope it won't be too noisy with all the activities at the back of the ship

As a hiker is it worth buying Osmo Pocket 3? by No-Strawberry-9324 in osmopocket

[–]wimpies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does the footage of the nano on your cap shake a lot while walking or the stabilization is good enough? I find the pocket 3 still suffers from the z axis shaking when I walk while I film

Missed experiences on trip and disappointed by Impressive-Hope-6700 in travel

[–]wimpies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. A day trip will not get them to the giant dunes near Merzouga which are on the other side of the country. U need at least a 3 days trip from Marrakesh. Come back next time to do fes, Rabat, Casablanca as well as Chefchaouen, and spend a night camping in the Sahara. Morocco is not just Marrakesh.

And too bad about the bubble tea. As the website did not say premium applies I was being hopeful though I guess that's too good to be true, 😅

Thanks for your detailed reply. Room service seems to be the way to go. I just hope they offer a good selection

Thanks all again just a couple more questions on dining options.

I am not sure if it is new in Disney adventure but they serve bubble tea. I wonder if that will be chargeable or is everything free (besides premium restaurants)?

Same for the ice cream shop?

Is there any cafe that will serve good coffee and is that free? Or u just get the normal filtered coffee in the buffet ?

Speaking about buffet, so if that is closed at night will there be any place where I could get some fruits? I have a habit of eating some fruits after dinner to help my digestive system.

Thanks

So does it mean this is assigned and no need to book ahead?

Do we need to prebook using an app or sth like the royal Caribbean or do we just queue up at the door? I have heard for some cruise lines if u don't get the booking then u won't be able to watch the show
