I am very excited to see your video of your cruise. I am taking the same ship, the Norwegian Spirit in March from Tokyo to Seoul. I am also looking forward to your journey around Taipei as I am interested in visiting Taiwan sometime soon. 😊
Flights are really fun. And i always like the lounges when i can get in to them. And the savings on the less desired flights is a lot, for sure.

I loved my days of travel when I was younger, but now I am over airline travel except when necessary! Do as much as you can Ben while you still enjoy it! I can only travel premium economy these days. Taipei is like Japan, you can go anywhere and feel safe, I love Taiwan, but it has been 40 years since I was there.

I've only been in a lounge once. I was flying domestically to see some friends for my birthday. I found a reasonably good deal on first class tickets so I got comfy seats up front and free food and drinks at my connection. As to what flight I'd take first, usually it would be the short flight. I can think of a few times I'd rather have the long flight first but mostly just due to inconvenient flight times.

8:44 yes!!! I do the same thing when people acting dumb and being loud in public. I just stare at them. Like WTF nobody wants to hear your phone conversation and nobody wants to hear the videos or TikTok you’re watching. . Wait till you have some privacy for phone calls and put some AirPods in in the world would be a much better place.. Also, I just realize that you probably can’t take the train between the two locations because it’s the island but is there a ferry between there and Bangkok? Cause I don’t fly I’m sure there’s a ferry I know there’s a bunch in Southeast Asia. I feel like that might’ve been a faster solution, though since you had to wait that long in the airport plus the ride getting there . But what do I know 😂

@ I just had to give some people to stare down here in Florida trying to enjoy the sunset. They just pulled up in their car Blairng in their music. I just don’t understand why people can’t read the room in all situations in life. You’re not at a party. Nobody wants to hear your crappy music . Also I noticed that at dollar store there’s a lot of cheap wireless earbuds I seriously thought about buying a bunch of them and keeping them on me. And just handing them out when people are listening to their phone. On full volume with no headphones in. 😝 maybe they’ll get the hit. 😝

@JustShelby888Ай бұрын
@ I think it’s self-awareness to be honest with you. I’m sure some of it is selfishness, but most people nowadays are just not self-aware. But then again I grew up in Japan, and I was taught nothing but self-awareness. And how my actions affect the people around me, and it also was a very quiet environment, there’s a reason that people enjoy Japan so much, besides the culture and the food. People don’t realize how much noise pollution affect your psyche. Especially here in Florida when I go out into areas that are supposed to be serene like nature walks or the beach I expect to hear the birds and the waves. Not your music or TikTok’s, which is the most annoying. I’ve noticed a lot of these people watch TikTok just saying … 😝 I think people also just need to be overstimulated 24 seven now days like why are you even on your phone we’re at the beach ! 🏝️ 😝
