12 days in Bangladesh during monsoon season - advisable or not?

After travelling to India a few times, I have always been intrigued to travel Bangladesh. I still have some flight vouchers that I would need to use anyways and thought about flying to Dhaka within the next few days. My must sees would be Dhaka, the night ferry to Barisal, the ship wrecking beaches of Chittagong (from afar as I know), and either Sylhet or Rajshahi. From what I see the weather in Chittagong and Sylhet will be pretty much heavy monsoon.

Is this generally a feasible idea or is the season too much of an obstacle? Are the ferries enjoyable during this kind of weather? For context: I am a white male European in his late 20s.

To all those who have been or maybe those who live there, is this generally a feasible idea or is the season too much of an obstacle? Are the ferries even enjoyable during this kind of weather? For context: I am a white male European in his late 20s.

Offering 2x Bad Bunny in Warsaw (14.07.)

We changed plans and will go to the Stockholm show instead of Warsaw. Therefore, I am offering two seats next to each other in section C01, Row 22.

I am asking for 400€ which consists of the price that I paid + credit card currency exchange fees. The tickets will be transferred via Ticketmaster.

Deciding between Stockholm and Warsaw shows.

Me and my gf are planning a trip to a Bad Bunny concert to either Stockholm or Warsaw. I initially opted for Warsaw and it took me days to finally get good tickets via Ticketmaster. However, as we now found an affordable airbnb option for Stockholm, we are thinking about a change of plans.

We will make a three nighter out of this. The cities obviously differ in cost, history and nature. We have a valid airline voucher, so flight costs dont matter right now. As our main focus will be the concert, I have stumbled upon these key differences:
- Scandinavians are more reserved which might also reflect to the concert atmosphere. If looking at all the available tickets for the Stockholm shows, people dont seem too hyped about the concert.
- On the other hand, the show in Warsaw seems very popular. However, it will be during a regular weekday which kind of kills the „open-end“ character. Also the acoustics of the stadium are said to be very poor.

Has anyone been to concerts in Stockholm and clarify what to make out of the seemingly lower demand?
Which show would you choose if everything else wouldn’t matter?

Passen 28mm Reifen an meinem Renner?

Demnächst gehts mit meinem Rennrad auf eine zweiwöchige Tour. Für etwas mehr Komfort habe ich mir Conti 5000er in 30 mm Breite bestellt. Vorher waren 23mm Reifen drauf. Dummerweise achtete ich beim vorherigen Ausmessen nur auf die Beite, nicht auf etwaige Engpässe in der Tiefe. Vorne passt der Reifen recht gut, hat circa 5 mm Platz an der engsten Stelle. Hinten schaut das leider anders aus. Zwischen Bremsrücken und Reifen ist es wohl bestenfalls 1 mm.

Bin ich zu optimistisch, wenn ich hoffe, dass 28 mm ausreichend Platz lassen? Gibt es vielleicht Modelle, die etwas weniger hoch aufbauen?

Bikepacking mit dem Renner. Wie und wo bekomme ich mein Gepäck unter?

Ich bin letztes Jahr ins Bikepacking eingestiegen. Relativ simpel: zwei Backroller befüllen, rauf aufs Rad und dann 1800 km fahren. Hat Spaß gemacht, aber das war mir zu langsam. Nun möchte ich etwas ähnliches gerne mit dem Rennrad probieren. Die Schwierigkeit ist die Gepäckfrage. Als Schlafoptionen stehen Zelt, Hängematte oder Tarp zur Verfügung. Wobei sich das in Packmaß und Gewicht bei allen jeweiligen Konfigurationen (Quilt, Schlafsack, Isomatte, ...) nicht so sehr unterscheidet. Darüber hinaus sollen noch Topf, Gas und ein paar Klamotten mit.

Leider ist mein Renner in den Dimensionen etwas eingeschränkt. Zwischen dem Lenker hat es knapp 35cm Platz, da passen keine großen Rollen rein. Meine Idee wäre nun folgende Taschen. Topeak Backloader 15L, Topeak Rahmentasche in Medium 4,5L (die große wird nicht passen). Vorne dachte ich daran das BLB Lite Rack ranzubasteln. Da ließen sich - je nach Schlafoption - sicherlich Zelt oder Schlafsack + Isomatte oder Hängematte + Tarp + Quilt unterbringen.

Kann das klappen mit dem Front Rack oder stelle ich mir das zu einfach vor? Ist jemand mit dem Rennrad schon mal ein ähnliches Setup gefahren?

I recently moved into an apartment as a subtenant. Its an Andelsbolig. After finding out from someone else in the house, how little their monthly payments are, I was quite shocked. While my rent (approx. 12000 for 54 sqm in Valby) is probably still within the 'normal' range, it is almost double of what my landlord actually pays per month. I stumbled upon some reddit posts describing how people successfully filed a complaint with the housing board to lower their rent. It seems relatively straight forward and promising as long as certain requirements are fulfilled. Yet, I dont know anyone within my circle that has tried this before. Is there a reason for this that might not be mentioned in the examples on reddit? Or are people just not aware? Also: To my knowledge, the board of an Andels usually checks the rental contracts before a sublease. Would they not intervene if the rent has been set far above the actual amount?
