I learnt grammar rules rom Language Transfer.
Now I'm using Dreaming in Spanish to be able to expand my vocab and listening skills. If I dont know the word, I look it up and write it donw.
I think I am still too much of a newbie to be practice speaking unless its super basic haha.
I do text my friends in Spanish, though!
Am I on the right track?
Met some lovely people from Bilbao a while back but I didnt get their contacts! So Im asking here! Any food, sights, neighborhoods, etc check out?
Should we use the Kysley migertion tool?
Can you still visit it or see the blue flames? I was told the workers ar striking previousley
Would you guys suggest it if you dont have hiking shoes? I think there are services to carry you to the top as well like a horse?
I dont like beaches and I was planing to visit it after scuba diving in Komodo and Bali. I think Ill see the same marine life from snorkeling as well. I read its a mix of calm, partying, snorklkng in between the islands.
Im not into beaches. But I plan to go to the gilis ater diving in Komodo and Bali. I like snorkeling but if its the same animals, Im not too interested and rather save the money in not going
Planning to go! Is it still worth going if I plan tk skil Rinjank? and is it easy to get around from tour guides from hostels perhaps?
I plan 2 to 2.5 weeks in Indonesia. All for diving Particulary interested in animals!
Im concerned if Ill be seeing to many same stuff.
I think Nusa Penida is enough for 4 diving days? (so 8 ish dives)
Tulamben is also fine for 3 days. 1 for the ship, thenither 2 might be for macronbut could be simmilar to Nusa Penida. (8 ish dives)
Not sure if Amed is oveekill
Komodo - 1 week seems like the general advice (14 dives)
Raja Ampat. Im not sure if Ill do this since I heard its for advanced divers, Ill havw rogly 55 to 60 ish dives before Raja. I think people do 1 week here too?
My goal is to go to Komodo during the quarter moon (October), but before I want to get used to deploying DSMBs in every dive. I did it twice with DM guidance so I need more practice!
So! I will go to Bali just to explore the dive sitess and deploying DSMBs; how many diving days would you guys suggest doing? I'm AOW certified and can dive 3x a day.
If I feel comfortable by then, I can try going to Komodo. I think 4 diving days is the consensus here? I don't plan to do a liveabrod
I was going to go Almaty -> Amtun Emel national park, Aktau and Katutau mountains -> fly to Aktau and do. Bozzhyra -> Almaty and fly out
The day trips to Amtum Emel national park, Aktau and Katau mountains are ~ $100 USD minimum for a rental car, but it's easily $150+ for a day trip. Bozzhyra seems fine though, found tour operators doing daytrips for $40 - $100 for a day trip. The round-trip flight tickets to Aktau to see Bozzhyra are the expensive part.
Besides Bozzhyria, they look OK tbh, not as mind blowing as the mountains in Switzerlad. Wadi Rum or Patagonia or Machhu Pichu. But I might be wrong. So I dont think its worth it?

I really love architecture. Cities in China for example are mindblowing, like Chongqing. Japan was cool as well. I don't like beaches. People seem to love Busan, it seems 'meh' for me from my research. I found Taipei OK, I rather visit China/Japan. I realy enjoy cities like Hanoi/Saigon - I found it fun beause it felt like a community there - people go out and eat and celebrate at night.
Should I skip Busan?
Doctor said recently that I must avoid a tan fora personal health issue. If I stay in the shade at all times during the boat and use a hat/umbrella on land. I believe the UV would still reflect onto the water/other objects which can cause me to tan? or I should be fine? I plan to cancel my diving trip if I wont be fine.
I love this hoboby but realistically most people have 2-6 weeks of time off from work every year. There are countreis that we like to travel to that do not have a palce for diving.
So sometimes people would not dive at all for a year or two. And then the next dive would be a diivng trip but you most likely will forget alot of stuff and need to refresh.
Do I arrive at Skardu and then book a tour with accomodations there? shukria!
I asked here for Iraq and people were super helpful. Wanting to give it a shot agian this time :D
I believe people like me are stuck with a tour group? something like a 7 day one.
Maybe Im overthinking. Or my dive shop does not care that much. This is my 1st drift drive. I was told I should be okay. But there could be strong currents. Any tips? Next, how do I learn how to use a DSMB for the future?
I was talking to shops, I think the conclusion is Manta are visible all year round and not too uncommon, will likely see them if you dive a few times. But sunfish are rare and you need to be lucky despite it being the season for them?
They seem to appear later on during November to Jan from what I read. Is this correct? and if so, would you still suggest coming? Ive dived PG alot and Malapascua so I expect the same marine life ? If not, I will skip and do the Moalboal and do the sardine run :)
