It's all the negative things people say it is but I still thought it was cool as shite


This x1000. Was it eye opening at times, of course, but was also cool as shite. Happy people with nothing, beautiful landscape with trash in places. Great food with some questionable hygiene.

I have zero regrets doing it and my teens still talk about the things they experienced good and bad. I would not do it without a tour guide to ensure safety both personal and dietary.

Saw him in Bahrain, of all places, the day after he attended a Metallica concert. Father's Son cuts onions.
We did it as a family with 3 teenagers. It was cool, but the poverty and mass of humanity were overwhelming. Coupled it with a beach trip to Sri Lanka afterward, like a true Westerner. We used a tour guide who booked everything, nice, safe hotels.
Die with Zero

This board recommended this book and it really changed my views on Inheritance looking at it as NPV.

RC Bray is incredible on the audiobooks. Makes a world of difference.
We did this in the very north of Finland and it was a huge money grab tourist trap. Having the alarm for the lights was cool though.
So fkn fun. What a great nod to my childhood. Loved how they payed homage to the cartoon and kept the politics out of it. Fkn great!
Cairo…. People running across the freeway with cars going 120 km/hr. No lane markers, 10 cars in a space for 6 also doing 120. Fkn terrifying.

Nazare, home of the 100 ft wave may be my favorite city on earth. 90 min north of Lisbon.

Prefab Guest/Pool House

Posted by LSUOFFSHORE on 12/3/25 at 9:07 am
Looking at adding a guest house for the mother-in-law on our property on the North Shore. It will eventually become a pool house. I was starting the search with prefab or modular 1-bed/1-bath, but the Google machine is not helping. Does anyone here have any insight?
I had to move my antenna outside and adjust the direction to get it. It was the weakest signal.
Just social media bs. What’s crazy is the markup in the US. That stuff is everywhere in the Middle East for a tenth of the price.

I flew into Sarajevo then used Daytrip.com to make a huge loop to hit Belgrade, Timisoara, Sofia, Skopje, Prizren, Shkoder, & Dubrovnik. It was pretty seamless and allowed for “tour” stops along the way.
Malaga is beautiful. We also took a day trip to Gibraltar. The ferry to Tangier was cool and then we took the train to Casablanca. A day in Casablanca is more than enough. Merrikhsh is much more enjoyable .

From Singapore we took a day trip to KL and another day trip to Batam Indonesia.

Thailand - Bangkok then Phuket or Koh Samui would be cool.

Depending on your flight direction and connection I would consider a Maldives stopover.
IMO stay on the boat and enjoy the empty ship. Nassau is pretty unimpressive.
Maho Beach and the airport is still one of the coolest experiences I have had.
