Nope!

And San Andres/Providencia!

The only Yorkshire things I know about are the dog breed and the pudding

Cthuhlu for sure.

I don't really care much for the big cities, to be honest. Sure, most of them usually have quite a few things worth seeing and the ones with good nightlife are fine for a couple of nights for that reason alone, but other than that, I quickly find them too crowded and mostly tiresome. Have no interest in stores and shopping malls, little interest in art galleries and museums bar few exceptions. Instead give me a mid-sized town with more natural surroundings and options for outdoor activities, some good dining options and a few decent pubs in it, and I'm golden

Ever been to Shediac? I have friends there that I might visit some day. Heard the seafood there is amazing...

Most of my traveling in Europe were road trips by car... Southern Europe being the farthest away from me, it usually wasn't the ideal destination for that, and for longer holidays I generally prefered other destinations outside of Europe.

Looks fanstastic... not a big fan of bungee jumping in general but would love to try this one.

Yeah...his time is surely running out now? Understandably so. Regardless, I don't think we can manage to turn things around either way.

Don't remember much about the school lunch, but it used to be quite decent. Always some kind of soup and then a choice of the main dish. Schnitzel, curd cheese pudding, potato pancakes, meatballs were the usual suspects. We used to buy chocolate cigarettes at a kiosk after school

Yeah, this and the Silk Road. I'd love to do both.

To be honest it's not that bad, depends on the airline and their service a lot. As someone who's quite tall, I do struggle with leg room, but other than that, it's tolerable as long as I get half decent food, alcohol, and access to a few movies. I do try to sleep as much as possible, but sometimes it just doesn't work... I love train travel. The Transsiberian Railroad journey is definitely still on the cards for the future...

I don't think it's that simple. Numerous countries depend on tourism, it's a huge part of their GDP and hundreds of millions of livelihoods depend on it. So it's understandable that they need to start reopening gradually, I don't think it's dumb - they simply can't afford not to.

From June 3rd Italy will drop the quarantine requirement for people arriving from certain countries, namely: - The 26 other members of the European Union - Schengen Area members Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland - The United Kingdom - Andorra, Monaco, San Marino and Vatican City Tourists arriving from these countries will not face any restrictions upon entering Italy, though depending on their own country's rules they may be required to quarantine when they return home. Likewise Italian residents can make a trip to any of these countries without being required to quarantine when they return to Italy. The restrictions are based on where you're departing from or travelling to, not on your nationality.

Yeah, most European countries are already making arrangements to reopen the borders and to revive the tourism industry, so unless there's a huge new outbreak somewhere, I think a holiday in Europe (for Europeans) will be possible in a few months. Definitely harder to predict for outside of Europe though - but since a lot of economies and livelihoods depend on it, I reckon they'll also try to get it up and running as soon as possible again.

Maybe won't return to the pre-Covid levels, but there will definitely be regular passenger flights either way. The biggest hurdle for any international holiday at this point would be each country's entry requirements, not much point in going for a holiday if you have to self-isolate/be quarantined for 14 days after arrival, haha.

Saw this one in a reddit thread "What song is 10/10 but hardly anyone has heard of it?" today. Wow. Was not disappointed, it's fantastic.

Nice pics @Rick.

You might want to check out 500px. It's basically the same photo sharing concept as Instagram, but solely for photographers (all levels, from the very beginners to pros with amazing portfolios), so you don't get stupid influencers, advertisers and whatnot. They also run numerous photography challenges and quests regularly. If you wish, you can also license your photos with them and sell them that way.

NASA has released the Artemis Accords, a set of principles for international Moon exploration. https://www.nasa.gov/specials/artemis-accords/index.html

I am used to long haul flights (but still hate them with passion), so anything less than 15 hours sounds great, really How are rail networks in South America? If they're good, then it's another option, but I don't think it's a viable way of easily traveling through numerous countries there? You should check out Season 2 of BBC's The Race Across the World, by the way. It's all South America. A great watch...

I would like to go to Cuba... Actually saw cheap flights early this year and was considering it. USA doesn't interest me a single bit. Central and South America would be cool, but that would have to be a few month trip. Not a fan of running through numerous places and countries in short time!

Data research (medical field). I'm independently contracted, so no fixed working hours, no supervision, no stupid chats with work colleagues, no meetings. I changed houses at least 7 times in the last 6 years, so that question is a bit complicated but generally, when it comes to work, I just need my laptop and internet connection, so choosing houses always comes down to just personal choices, unrelated to the work I do.

I love working from home and wouldn't change it for anything else. Granted, it's not for everyone, but for me, it's the best thing ever.

Oh MUFC
