Hello,

I am coming to Tokyo this autumn for 10 days with my gf, and I’m already super excited planning our trip! I really want to experience sumo, I saw that there are official tournaments listed on the Japan Sumo Association website this November, but it looks like tickets aren’t available yet.

I also saw smaller sumo shows, where you can have something to eat while watching, they look pretty cool (and easier to book), but I’m wondering how they compare in terms of authenticity...

What do you think is the best option for us? There is quite a lot of mixed information online, so any recs would be really appreciated ^^ Thanks a lot in advance!

Hey everyone, I’m visiting Athens next week and, as a bit of a last-minute decision, I’d really like to go to Cape Sounion and see the Temple of Poseidon. Thinking about it, I’m quite interested in booking a tour from Athens so I don’t have to deal with the logistics and get historical info.

But if it’s actually easy to go there by myself, maybe I should just book a tour guide directly on site? I’d be really interested in your feedback and experiences.

Thanks in advance!

My kids have been really into medieval stuff lately, so I’ve been looking at places around Paris that could make for a cool day trip. I already came across Provins and Château de Blandy-les-Tours, which both look pretty cool.

I'd love to hear some recommendations, thanks!

I saw on the official website of the Grand Palais that they organize guided tours focused on the history and architecture of the building, so I’m curious about the experience. If anyone here has already done the tour, I’d love to hear your feedback! Thanks

I read about the “rules” of Haussmannian buildings on Wikipedia, and when I try to apply them in real life, I get a bit lost. I can hardly find any buildings that actually match all of these criteria.

For example, on Boulevard Haussmann or Avenue de l’Opéra, the number of floors often seems different, and the balcony pattern doesn’t really match what I read. Does it have to be strictly six floors? And balconies only on the 2nd and 5th floors?

I'd love to hear your thoughts on this!

I’m not fully sure I’m defining the theme right, but I think you’ll get what I mean, any recommendation welcome! Thanks in advance

I’m looking to buy a bottle of red wine as a gift for a friend (I figured red is a safe choice since he loves meat).

What are your favorite places to buy wine in Paris?

Also, any tips on how to choose a good red wine (maybe some classic safe options so I don’t mess it up)?

Would you recommend going to a proper wine shop, or are supermarkets / fine grocery stores totally fine for this kind of thing?

I don’t have a strict budget, but I’d say I can go up to around 25-30€.
