I have a flight leaving at 4 am Monday morning from Sharm. What's the best way to find a ride around 1 am? I'm guessing those mini bus things don't operate at such an hour. Any ideas??
I'm from McPherson and wanting to move to Wichita around July 15. I have a German Shepherd and a cat. I am a single woman nearing 40, quiet, responsible, clean, with excellent references and a fair credit score. I'd really prefer a small house with a yard (yes I DO clean up after my dog!). Don't really need much more than a one bedroom. Central air/heat would be ideal.
I've been searching on Marketplace and Craigslist and not finding much but scams. If you have one available, please DM me the details. Happy to hop on a video chat too, to prove I'm a real human lol
Just learned that it's normal to eat at communal tables in Munich. Are there restaurants and coffee shops where I can sit alone? Is this something I have to request?
Also, is it standard to tip servers and baristas? How much?
Is it normal to ask for a to-go box if I can't eat all the food?
Are there any other restaurant tips, customs, norms I should be aware of as a tourist from the US?
I'll be visiting Munich July 6-9. Which transit ticket should I get for the following itinerary?
-MUC airport to Airbnb (English Garden area)
-English Garden to city center
-Munich to Mittenwald
-Munich to Dachau
-Airbnb back to MUC
Is there a single ticket that can encompass all of these rides?
American currently vacationing in Egypt. I've never been to Europe and always wanted to see Germany. I will only have like 2-3 days and want a low key, calm, comfortable mini vacation before I go back to the bullshit in the US.
​
But I just read on this sub that it's hotter than hell there right now. I'll be leaving around July 7. Is it really that bad there? Since I'm currently on the Sinai peninsula without AC most of the day, and I have been here for a month already, I'm thinking maybe the heat in Germany won't be so bad? But it's humid right? I just don't wanna be absolutely miserable walking around or staying at an Airbnb.
​
Is it silly to avoid visiting a place I've always wanted to go, because of the heat? Would it still be worth it? Can I spend the day walking around Munich without melting?
​
My other options are Italy or England.
Which good restaurants deliver in Dahab and can I communicate with them in English?
My fiance is Egyptian and I want to bring him to the US. But Egypt is on the "paused" visa processing list, as far as I know. I want to file for the K1 visa but is it pointless right now? Would we be waiting in limbo for years?
We are currently in Egypt and thought about marrying here and then filing for the spousal visa but I read that it takes even longer but either way, how "paused" are these visas, really?
I'll be 40 this year. I have no career and no kids. Currently in school to finish a masters in psych though .. it'll take a while. So I just work whatever jobs I can get. My resume is quite colorful lol.
I currently live in my hometown, a very small Kansas town and I've exhausted my job options and feel socially isolated. Big time maga country and really insular.
What I'm looking for:
Quick access to nature, parks, dog friendly (I have a German shepherd), **can afford my own place working blue collar type of jobs**, preferably all 4 seasons...Kansas is the land of weather extremes so I can deal with just about anything but hard pass on oppressive humidity.
I'm a visual artist and into the flow arts as well (hooping) so it would be great to find a community that has dance classes, art classes, live music, etc.
Friendly and unpretentious people. I'm not super introverted but I find it hard to find other women who are into the same things I'm into. Healthy living, fitness, psychedelics, art, diverse music taste, weird topics paranormal stuff, international travel, nature. I understand everywhere has all types.. But it would be nice to find more community events geared toward these things so I have a better chance of making friends. I've been super lonely for a while.
Places I've lived briefly:
Portland OR: people seemed too pretentious or self important..snobby hipster types. That was back in 2014 though. Perhaps TOO liberal?
Colorado Springs: perhaps a bit too conservative? Felt weird there tbh. Can't put my finger on it.
Houston suburbs: way too humid
Phoenix and Tucson: way too hot but Tucson in winter was glorious...
northern California (Humboldt): too isolated and expensive.
Indianapolis: just no.
I've been thinking of ABQ, Santa Fe (col too high for me?), Chicago (col?), or just going to Wichita cuz I know I could swing it but I really would like something new.
I had a dream last night in which I was given a tarot reading about my upcoming trip to Egypt. The deck used was the Crowley Thoth deck.
The first card that came up was Love (2 of cups), then next was The Lovers, and after that came a card that doesn't exist...it was called "Heh" and it had a cartoonish image of a masculine being with blue skin. In the dream, I had the understanding that this was some sort of god.
When I woke up, I googled "heh god" and was shocked to find out it is an Egyptian deity! He is the god of eternity/infinity. I am REALLY amazed that my brain was able to access information previously unknown to me. How?? I'm not at all into Egyptian mythology and my reason for going to Egypt is simply to visit my long distance boyfriend.
Another card came up after Heh, it also doesn't exist...it was called "Sex Dogs" lmao ..I'm not googling that and I have no idea what this whole dream reading means. Just wanted to share that sometimes your brain can access a pool of info that's just out there, I guess. Pretty cool :)
So I'm mostly an on-body hooper. Very dancey. I want to incorporate all these amazing off body tricks..but damn a lot of them are hard to nail down and combine into smooth flowing combos.
I know it takes practice to get the hang of these tricks, but at what point does the practice become a flow? I'm not exactly sure what I'm asking or how to word it.
Do you just keep drilling specific tricks until they become second nature and intuitively move into other tricks that becomes your combo flow?
I guess I just feel really clunky right now while learning tricks and it's discouraging .
