Culture shocks while visiting Kathmandu, Nepal
I'm here for Harris' friend's wedding, and the country is way poorer than I realized. GDP per capita is just under $1400 (in 2023), 2022's HDI is ~.6 (medium human development), both of which are apparently among the lowest in South Asia. The roads are crazy!... - [deleted]...
We're in Taiwan now (at a hot springs resort 😍 in Yangmingshan National Park, outside of Taipei). Not really any major culture shocks yet, aside from people being very polite. It's my first time in Taiwan, and I can speak a bit of Mandarin. It's been enough to get by so far.... - nat...
I didn't book an accommodation because of AI generated images
I love AI because it has helped me save hours by automating systems, analyzing SEO, and creating website content.

Spending Christmas in Austin was great. The weather was fabulous and it was good to see you and my fam. Even played pickleball for the first time. I got sick the week after (back in Boston) and that was a bummer. I was really looking forward to going out Tango dancing on NYE.... the pilot announced that the pre-flight checks had discovered a problem, the flight was canceled, and we’d all need to de-plane. Unlike ever before in my life, my automatic response to the news was the thought, “Oh! Now I’m on an adventure!... - Shera JoyCry...
Wow, is it newly popular? Didn't notice an increase in popularity as been going to hot springs and such for my entire life. Is it because my dad was raised in Europe? Doubtful as he didn't go to any spas or bath houses. Has it become more popular now because of information?... - Trstishu...
Hey y'all! I'm J R., eager to see where this experience leads me. What doors open. Who I "vibe" with. Ultimately, I believe we are all one ginormous tribe. I'm down for whatever, just keep it 💯. I want to begin asap traveling the lower 48.... - Kat66...
