[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Travel-holics are only traveling to brag. The internet ruined everything because it removes the adventure aspect from even the most remote places. You can watch a video about your future plan trip to Nepal, the taxi you will take from the airport, watch a video about the Nepalese hostel you want to stay in, the sites you will see and the food you will eat. It both removes the mystery of the trip and the excitement of feeling like you are doing something very few others are doing. And every global city has been homogenized.

You saw some buildings, took a hike, and looked at some paintings. So what? You had some food [i]at a hole in the wall off the beaten path[/i]? Wow, you sound just like Bourdain. :roll: There's not much food abroad that you can't find here in the states. All the destinations are crowded; hotels, airbnbs, and restaurants are scamming you. [b]The show White Lotus captures this pretty well. [/b]

Mass traveling doesn't make you sophisticated, it should be much more stigmatized. Travel-holic NPC dweebs are ruining towns across the world.[/quote]

I’d much rather talk about the show White Lotus than hear about someone’s actual trip to that location. [/quote]

OK and? Many of us do love to travel and would love to hear about trips to "White Lotuses".

Every single topic of conversation doesn't have to revolve around [i]your[/i] interests.

What is White Lotus and why would I want to talk about a show? Is it a reality show?[/quote]

Good lord. Someone's been living under a rock for the last 3 years. [/quote]

Someone has better things to do in life than watch TV?[/quote]

You don’t have to have seen a show to know about it. I’ve never watched a single episode of Friends but I can tell you a lot about it.[/quote]
