Traveling


Recommended Posts

One of my hobbies is to travel the world, cities, or where ever. I hate being couped up at home all year around, so traveling around the world, no matter how far seem to interest me.

Places i've been:

Toronto (home town)

Newfoundland (Canada)

Florida (US)

California (US)

Tokyo (Japan)

Osaka (Japan)

Seoul (South Korea)

Cancun (Mexico)

Glasgow (Scotland)

I plan on visiting a lot more cities and countries before I get settled down and too old. So why not make the best out of life. And that is my hobby.

Unfortunately, being a student I haven't had the money to go to many places over seas. In fact I've only been to Vanuatu for a holiday recently. I have had the opportunity with work to travel around Australia though, I have stayed in many different motels in many places, it's great!

To visit first? If you go to both, stop at south Korea first, than japan.

If you only have the money for one or time for one, japan hands down is the better of the two. I would say go to Tokyo for the mind blowing experience.

Osaka is amazing if you like to sight see the culture.

I have never been out of the US, but I have lived in 6 different states as my father is an Aerospace engineer, so he has to travel where ever they need him.

That being said, if you travel to the US (or more specifically, the south-west US) you MUST go see the Grand Canyon. I have seen pictures of it before and they do not do it justice. Seeing it with your own eyes is just amazing. Its over a mile deep and in many areas over a mile wide and you can see all the way across it. Its simply an awesome sight. If you have not seen it yet and you are in the area I suggest you make a quick stop and take a look at it. I haven't seen much in my life yet (still young though) but its definitely the most amazing scenery I have seen to this date.

I surrendered my passport to some Chinese official who's name I didn't know nor could I possible pronounce.

I got it back the next day though after eye-balling all the border guards at the Shanghai Airport until I recognized my guy.

It was more difficult to convince the Dragon Airlines staff in Hong Kong that I would be fine without a valid Chinese Entry Visa.

    • Apple reportedly has a second-generation iPhone Fold planned for 2027 by Hamid Ganji The iPhone Fold is one of the most anticipated tech products expected to debut this fall. It will be Apple’s first foldable iPhone, ushering in a new product category for the company. While the first generation has yet to hit the shelves, a new leak suggests Apple has already begun work on its successor. Chinese leaker Digital Chat Station claims that the second-generation iPhone Fold has already been confirmed, meaning Apple could launch a successor in fall 2027. The foldable iPhone is also reportedly referred to as the “iPhone Ultra,” though it remains unclear whether Apple will ultimately choose that branding, especially as Samsung is rumored to rename the Galaxy Z Fold 8 as the Galaxy Z Fold Ultra this year. The leaker also claims that the second-generation foldable will feature a wider folding display while reusing the same screen found in the first generation. Apple’s first foldable iPhone is expected to feature a 7.8-inch inner display and a 5.3-inch outer screen in a passport-style form factor. It has already been reported that Apple plans to change its iPhone release cycle in 2026 to spread launches throughout the year. Under this strategy, the iPhone Fold is expected to debut this fall alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. The standard iPhone 18 and iPhone Air 2 are expected to arrive later in 2026 or in early 2027. Speaking of the iPhone Air, Digital Chat Station says Apple remains undecided about a third-generation model. The company is reportedly waiting to see how the iPhone Air 2 performs in the market, and if sales disappoint, a successor may never materialize. As we reported this week, the iPhone Air has not been scrapped from Apple’s plans. The second-generation model is reportedly scheduled for spring 2027 and could introduce upgrades such as an additional rear camera for ultrawide photography and improved battery life.
    • ahh yes the good old your opinion differs from mine so you are therefore insane lol destiny 1 had no agenda pushing and was a massive success of a game, if you clearly look online the team for some reason thought they had too many men on the team and went on a woman and dei recruitment drive and we all know how destiny 2 performed from then on in
    • The limited imaginations and business acumen of non-dominant players is simply that: the abject lack of creative business acumen. Businesses often want to operate in a financially-rewarding marketplace (free market economics) and/or exit/cash-out at maximal financial recompense. Money is their incentive; regulations are both their obstacles and their tools; politics is their means of influencing the marketplace. Google, in this story's example, is crying that AWS and Azure are "too dominant" -- cuz Google Cloud is not printing as much money as Alphabet wants (although it is still dramatically more than they actually need). The EU DMA should truly follow-the-money and treat the EU as its own sovereign nation in order to protect European market players: Domestic entities are exempt from market-influence regulations until absolute monopoly is achieved; Foreign (non-EU/non-Euro) entities are all regulated via stricter DMA measures whereby regulated partnership with independent domestic entity becomes the only way for foreign entities to 'tip the scale' for favorable financial remunerations. Basically create a dual-track aligning with China's foreign investment models. In my eyes, this is the only way to properly protect the European marketplace beyond the current dot-com/ai-bubble/social-media crazes.
