Egypt

Egypt is great for diving. The nature on the Sinai peninsula is at least interesting, if not gorgeous in places. Political instability and the general culture do mean that you can have a bad time there, especially as a woman.

Egypt is the kind of country where I want to see things in it, but I kind of want to get the sanitized experience if I go there.

Went 2 weeks there:

  • First week was only about diving and was probably the most beautiful thing I will ever see in my life.

  • Second week was about visiting the monuments and while they are astonishing cultural and historical bangers (except the pyramids which are impressive from the outside but just some dull stones in the inside) people living there (even those running restaurants or hotels) are invasive as fuck and not worthile your time…

However we also rentend an airbnb for 2 days and even if the room was clean it looked a bit gloomy but the guy was very nice and friendly we even ate a pizza with him and watched a local TV movie (some sharknado rip from their country XD). It was a way better experience than In a stared hotel with all commodities…

In general, going the tourist way is mostly a bad experience in every country.

Theme parks is really only an Orlando thing. A large chunk of tourist Florida is hotels by the beach.

I feel like you need to be in a certain mindset to enjoy a theme park like Disney World. If you aren’t in that mindset, the place is a saccharine place of over-stimulation.

i dont think ill ever be in the mindset to get massively ripped off by a shitty company in buttfuck nowhere florida. no hate to people who enjoy it but it used to be a more reasonably priced endeavor. now the prices are worse and the lines longer than ever. with that kind of money id rather take a week in a cabin or nyc or something

No, Ohio is appropriately rated, which is why it is no one’s vacation destination.

I took a trip to Cleveland and Cedar Point for an extended weekend and found it to be alright.
