After over a year of searching, I finally found my sword. Poetically, I found it at Enchanted Knights, the medieval fantasy-themed gift shop of my childhood family vacations to Mackinaw City. It's been over a decade since I last stepped foot into these hallowed halls, and I can think of no place more fitting to find the sword I've searched for so long.

#Sword Quest 2: Journey to Mackinaw City #Enchanted Knights #I also got a precious overprices pewter dragon figurine and a thicc gorgon plushie #And two books on mythology #God this store is so good it was such a temptation to blow my whole vacation budget there alone #Got other stuff to do yet though

I am starting to think that being a tourist visiting Greek islands is completely unethical.

In a similar way as buying fast fashion is unethical.

This problem is very prevalent in the islands which is why I am specifically talking about them and not tourism throughout the country (though in specific areas that are tourism heavy the problem still stands).

Very coincidentally, along with Greece's economic protections of the working class collapsing, the new lucrative industry of tourism arose, after the economic crisis. With labour laws becoming more lax to "help the economy" we've seen the rise of seasonal work. What's that you might ask. Young adults with no working experience working in tourist heavy areas in service at restaurants and cafés and what not. Sometimes for 12 hours a day if not more, no benefits, sometimes they don't even provide you with housing, barely any days off. I've had cousins and friends who worked the summer season, it is hell and dehumanising. Especially with how many tourists there just are. Just earlier this month there was a story about how a sea side cafe bar owner had his waiters serve their patrons *in the sea*. THE WAITERS HAD TO WALK INTO THE SEA WITH THE DRINKS TO SERVE THE CUSTOMERS WHO WERE SWIMMING. "But tourists give good tips" AND THAT FIXES THINGS???? YOU THINK THIS MAKES THINGS BETTER??

But it's not just worker exploitation. It's how tourism becomes hostile to the locals themselves. How tourism is actively destroying the local environment. A friend of mine who comes from an island talks about how because of AirBnB locals are outpriced out of their rented homes. How students are kicked out of their apartments as soon as May enters because that's when thr tourism season starts. We gotta rent those apartments to our lovely tourists! How in islands even as big as Crete, every summer the locals have no access to water because it is all used up by hotels and tourists. All greek islands have limited access to drinking water and this is made worse through tourism. But you see you can't have the tourists not use water in abundance! How over the years I have seen my local beach become commercialised. How the public umbrellas crumbled and were replaced by privately owned by a sea side cafe bar umbrellas and sunbeds, making it so you have to pay to have access to that beach. How tourists have no beach etiquette, which ends up littering the area. How businesses' desire to get more tourist customers leaves to natural landmarks just altered beyond recognition, local fauna driven out.

Our government has over relied on tourism to rebuild its economy. When covid happened this showed how vulnerable an economy is if it relies on tourism alone. It feels like even our government treats us more like a tourist attraction than an actual nation. Obviously the issue is capitalism. Some might say it's unregulated capitalism. Whatever. The whole tourism industry was set up so that its vulnerable workers cannot even organise nor fight back. They are only contracted to work 3-4 months a year after all.

If you ever decide to visit Greece for vacation, I don't know, maybe think about all this.

#texterna #rant #I am just so angry man- and how my (economy major) cousin justifies that ''well you return with 5k home'' #To hell with that #Workplace horror stories and customer horror stories #NOT ONLY THAT BUT we have reached a point where it is impossible for a greek person to be a tourist domestically #Not that I have been personally able to go on vacation in years #Imagine having money to leave your house lol #I can only visit relatives and friends out of town and that with strict budgeting

Just had to cancel the only family vacation I was going to have this year and also probably the only one until I finish my PhD. Rip.

#With me moving to the US we cannot afford to spend any more than absolutely necessary #And attending graduation was already above budget #The budget for my Spain trip was taken from my savings and I didn't have to pay for accommodation and most meals #So yeah no vacation for the next 4-5 years

in a kinder world i would have autismed over phantom when it was still on broadway. in an even KINDER world i would have autismed over phantom before my mom got sick! in related news im trying to weigh the pros and cons of setting out on a mission to raise enough money to fly over to london and see phantom on the west end for my birthday. obviously not in time for my birthday, of course, but...

#sawyer speaking #my dad and stepmoms birthday budget is less than like a tenth of what i'd need in airfare alone assuming id bring someone else along #(and of course i would i do NOT want to be literally alone 3k miles from home) #who would i even BRING. my bestie? cant ask it right now (wifiless family vacation). my dad? very busy all the time #my friend who has experience being in europe unsupervised? perhaps... he is currently sick though... #an online friend? could never convince my dad to approve such a thang. #decisions decisions

If watching bravo has taught me anything, it's that whole going on a vacation with your friends is super fun, going on a "girls trip" is basically just a few days of hell in a swimsuit.

#this post is about bddu #but honestly it fits for ALL girls trips depicted on bravo #but what's the difference?? you ask #i think a friend vacation is like: hey buds let's go do a thing together!! #and a girls trip is like: #GIRLIEEESSSS let's go get TAN and WASTED somewhere ~fancy~ even if it's kind of a stretch for your budget #idk man all i know is that if someone invited me on a “girls trip” i would HESITATE
