coffee_rules Posted July 6, 2024 Posted July 6, 2024 Currently in French Canadian country- Quebec for the July 4th weekend. Quebec is very beautiful than most of NA. Old cities resemble European cities. It has more history than USA. But everything is like USA, people here talk in English as well. Montréal: zen, BacktoCricaddict and EnterTheVoid 3
bharathh Posted July 8, 2024 Posted July 8, 2024 Went to Hamburg and Berlin for a couple of weeks. Lovely places. Fantastic walking! The weather was sublime as well. The Germans are cold as ice though. Couldn't live there with them for sure! Most unfriendly ppl I have seen. Very impressed with the public transportation there though. Almost completely trust based - didn't get asked to show my ticket even once during my entire stay there. Did total paisa vasool going on the buses, ferries and metros. Number and coffee_rules 2

The most thrilling dare-devil things I have done: 1. Para-sailing 2. Under-water walk with a preseeure helmet (similar to what Modi did in Dwarka) 3. Jumping into a water hole in jamaica from 10-feet 4. 200-feet free fall 5. Jet-skiing in deep-sea (facking waves are a killer) 6. Swimming in Atlantic ocean without life-jackets - snorkling I will never ever do anything of these again. I cannot think of skydiving after the experience with free-fall. mishra and diga 1 1

I have done aerial activities - skydiving (solo jumps without being tethered to an instructor), paragliding, bungy jumping (multiple times), canyon swings (multiple times), abseiling etc But water activities are a no - no for me. coffee_rules 1

I have fear of heights. Can’t jump, dive or go on free-fall or roller coasters. Water sports is ok. But swimming in a pool is so much different from swimming in the ocean, the volume of water and the current can drown even expert swimmers. I just got lucky. EnterTheVoid 1
mishra Posted August 21, 2024 Posted August 21, 2024 (edited) Visited Ibiza and Formentera. Place is filthy Rich and Beautifull (specially Formentera beaches). Place has nice connection to India. Hippy Culture , clothing and other bits . All have in your face indian style. Loved it. Old town of Ibiza is like a movie set. Entry made me feel like "Shrek when he entered the Kingdom Far Far Away". You feel like you live in a Swamp. This is how a habitable place should be Edited August 21, 2024 by mishra coffee_rules 1

Going with a dozen other families, be it desi or firangi, is torture. I can't even swim, so jumping ship is also not an option. Glad you had fun though. coffee_rules 1

One good adventure was a hike in Amber Cove (Dominican Republic), next to a river and sometimes in the river was satisfying. Swimming at the beach is fun, didn’t do any deep sea swimming (didn’t have the guts). Dont know what’s so thrilling about the clock ticking past midnight on Dec 31. Everyone is screaming and high-fiving, hugging, etc and magand next day seems just as the same. Stupid Humans.
