: Waypoint Alpha
I’ve come to a conclusion that people who live in their own cities barely go out enough to see parts/most of it during their life time. I’m not saying everyone, but a good majority of people. I’ve come to this conclusion from trying to get people to take me out to all the “cool tucked away secrets” around their community and was very let down.
Toronto: I’m the one usually playing tourist guide so I have no complaint here.
Montreal: Have no worries here sine Pouya gets around and takes me around.
India: Bangalore: My friend’s little cousin who’s been living there for 25 years couldn’t tell me where the closest laundry mat was. Hell, anything outside of a 5 sqkm radius was open country to her. At one point I had to navigate back home through memory and compass….it was CRAZY since I couldn’t speak any of the three native languages there.
Hong Kong: My cousin who lived here for 20 odd years couldn’t tell me any cool places to go and nibble at. Which was very disappointing since the main habitable part of the island itself is only some 15 kms long. Today I walked 10 kms and found: a very good pizza parlor, a ridiculously high end bike store, three different Thai resturants and 2 Indian restaurants I want to eat at.
Its getting to the point that I’m just meandering around foreign places on my own discretion *which is pretty dangerous with my sorely innocent persona. Can’t stand doing nothing! Also can’t stand not doing something new each day….. need ADVENTUReS and missions@!
