I’m not really interested in going way out of my way to see anything

Unless I’ve put in the time to understand the historical significance of what I’m seeing. If it’s an easy domestic trip then sure I’ll go see the sights but I’m not flying halfway around the world only to fight crowds and parking unless it’s something either aesthetically extraordinary or I’ve done my homework to know why I should care

Why did the Taj Mahal disappoint? That’s one on my bucket list, curious why it

I like historical things, but it bothers me to see so much encroachment. Unless

The city does come right up to the land where the Pyramids are, but no further

Theres a Del Taco in my town. No need to travel to that hellscape.

It’s not like NYC has a monopoly on food. I’m not starving here.

BW84

4/2/23 9:59pm

Starving is a pretty low bar... NYC has tourist traps but also some fantastic food and culture.

The museums alone are worth it

I think most museums fit into this category for me. Unless it's a very specific interest, I'm nonplussed

Yup - so many cool things to see in DC.

A hack by mere seconds

It was really cool. St Basils was interesting

4/2/23 9:53pm

You couldn't talk me into going to Russia if it was free or they paid me.

Eddie

4/2/23 10:18pm

yeah, now it is a different story. We kind of hit the goldilocks years

4/2/23 10:26pm

Given my response.....I was positive you would have at least 10 👍!

The ocean. I’m good for a couple hours and then boredom sets in

Dang. I could live by the ocean and be happy as a clam forever. Especially in

For me it would be the Sydney Opera House. Meh
