Hello! Let's talk about travel and holidaying.
Where have you been recently? Show some pictures! Tell some stories!
Where have you got planned? What are you going to do there?
Do you travel much/not often? Near or far?
Try to keep images non-massive and not thousands of them

Up later this year is a quick shopping trip to London for me and a city trip (full week and a bit) for us to Hong Kong and Macau. Want more of that asian street food.

That camera seems pretty sick but it might just be because you're shooting film

That halo effect is cool
Would love to go to Japan one day - it's not as expensive as I previously thought.

We found flights from here for like €650 which is a lot less than I always expected. Can imagine doing a whole trip for about 2 grand or even quite a bit less

sf people are going crazy on rak and Y!jp auctions.

no i just took a picture of them while the guy was checking to see if they had another size.
i ended up buying sophnet boots instead. pretty similar except they have a side zip and were like $150 cheaper.

it was a village called hongcun in anhui provice (where my gf is from). Really great architecture dating from the ming dyansty. People still live there, which is cool

That sounds great. China is so dauntingly huge once you start looking away from the big cities.

4 nights. no firm plans yet but one of my friends lives there so i will stay with him. another friend might come along; he's still debating whether he wants to go.
plans are still pretty fluid, as i just bought tickets today. i will probably do like a day at the beach, a day walking around/shopping, one evening in macau, and then we'll see what else. probably not disneyland.

Is it good fun? Are you travelling on from there or just staying there?

ah you should definitely come! i'm staying here until the end of the month. life is cheap and people are very easy going. there's a great music scene as well. clubs are very different to what i've seen in france. it's like everything is made to make ugly people comfortable. there are no mirrors (even in the bathrooms!) and the dress code is super casual. the more homeless you look, the better. people are here to actually listen to the music (and dance) and not to hit on others which is very refreshing

That sounds super fun, everything I've heard of the city seems like right up my alley. Are you working there or just bumming it for a while?
