Hi everybody! My name is Tony, 28M from Ireland. My friend and I are going to Central Asia this weekend and I can't wait. I've never been to Asia and I am so excited to experience the region, the culture and importantly the World Nomad Games! These games were a big part of why we booked the trip as we are both big sports fans. Below I have a summary of each destination I will be in with a rough timeline of days, if you have been to any of the places and have any recommendations/suggestions please let me know! Or any fellow travelers that might be in the same places at the same time, hit us up!

I've never been to Asia and I am so excited to experience the region, the culture and importantly the World Nomad Games! These games were a big part of why we booked the trip as we are both big sports fans. So to summarize the trip we are flying to Istanbul, then to Kazakhstan before crossing over to Kyrgyzstan for the games. After this we will spend a good chunk of time in Uzbekistan and we are looking at doing a day trip to Tajikistan also.

Just booked 2 nights/3 days at the hotel Cheyenne and then we're going to stay in Paris for a couple of days after. I got it for her as a birthday surprise so she won't know about it for another month or so. I've loved reading all the information on this sub about peoples trips, you've been so helpful!

Some questions though:

1. Is early February a good time to go? It was the most affordable for us and I would image it's a little quieter that time of year which would suit better. Hoping there aren't many attractions closed and the weather is fine!

2. How much spending money would you guys recommend for a trip of that size? I'm not a huge shopper but she enjoys it and id imagine it's a place worth spending a few extra euro.

3. Any essentials to bring with us that make life easier or really elevate the trip? Any other tips and tricks are welcome and thank you for any help in advance!

Hello, county Louth is one of Irelands 32 counties. It's the place I am from and there hasn't been a post on this subreddit in 7 months. The last post was a mod (account now deleted) asking for new mods to take it over. 14 days ago I messaged the mods asking if they were still searching as I would be happy to take over but there has been no response. The community is restricted and I would love to be made a moderator and get it back active again.

The Odyssey is out this weekend and Christopher Nolan made it for IMAX 70mm screens. We don't have any IMAX 70mm in Ireland, I know we have a couple of digital/laser IMAX screens but still the point stands.

What would be the best cinema in the country all things considered? If you had to count screen quality, sound quality, comfort and every other thing that could make a good cinema great, which would be the overall winner?

Sundays game now fully sold out bar the Nally stand on Ticketmaster. I know they normally hold some back and also more get released if season ticket holders don't purchase but another batch of tickets were released last night/this morning and still all gone.

I got on Ticketmaster at 11:52 the day they went on sale and there were already 4k people ahead of me in the queue. Anybody reckon there's a chance it actually fully sells out? And if so, when was the last time a quarter final sold out Croke Park? Can't have been anytime too recent. I think the new rules and new format for championship have both been huge successes!
