#for the tourists ofc

[apoptoses]

Food in Venice is heavily seafood dominated, being that the city is man-made islands on the sea with no growing space of their own

Red Lobster was founded in 1968 and thus was already an established chain seafood restaurant in the US in the 70s and 80s

Armand enjoys having secondhand experiences via Daniel and would likely want to re-experience food familiar to him (seafood) served in 'modern' popular styles

Ipso facto, how many times was Daniel subjected to endless shrimp at different Red Lobster locations before the fascination of seeing the exact same restaurant in different places wore off for Armand and how unwell does the mere scent of cocktail sauce now make Daniel feel?

#this is calculus level vampire math #guys i think about them and tacky chain restaurants ALL the time #because most of the ones that exist today were established in the 70s #and they're so uniquely 'modern' american #i just think armand would be obsessed for a hot minute #and would have had a few on night island #for the tourists ofc #but also to satiate his occasional desire to see exactly where the limit of 'all you can eat' is for daniel #anyways i gotta think about feeding kink now goodbye #vc headcanons #armand/daniel

Btw if you come on holidays and stay at an AirBnb instead of an actual registered hotel I hate you personally. Not "I hate the gentrification and touristic massification and the way we can't live in our homes and are forced to move away because of tourism" in an abstract way- No, not just that. I hate you.

#I'm from a seaside town that has become popular with tourists who come for the beach and the mediterranean climate #and the typical whitewashed walls of mediterranean coastal towns #in just a few years the average rent has gone up so much that now the average rent id #*is over 1000€ per month #one thousand! #that's a whole salary! #in the past 2 years they've been building a new neighbourhood. they've destroyed the vinyeards to make a new neighbourhood that will make #the town 1/3 bigger than it is. that's a lot. but all those houses are luxury houses with private swimming pools for rich foreigners (we #already have 2 private British schools high schools and college(in the british sense)/baccalaureate where their kids go and never have to #interact with locals. I teach some of those kids and they're very prejudiced against locals and very bigoted against the catalan language #(which ofc they never bother to learn) #there's a law in catalonia that says that for every certain amount of houses you build you are obligated to build a certain percentage of #affordable housing. so in this new neighborhood they built the bare minumum affordable housing which is still too expensive for us #and since there's so few of them everyone is competing to get them. the city hall and the bank have had to make an official competition for #them but you only classify if the renr would not be more than 1/3rd of your salary which is impossible. my cousins who are in their mid 30s #and have been working a good qualified job for 15 years (and their partners too) are considered too poor to be considered for the #affordable housing #everyone is having to move out to other cities away from their friends and family and current jobs. the only jobs left here soon will be #mostly directed at tourists #and the only way to continue living here if you're a normal person and not rich is if you're an only child who one day might inherit the #parents' house #but we look around at what's happening in nearby cities and we see the next step which will be airbnb taking the houses that are left #in many places (I've posted about thia before) there aren't any flats for rent or sell anymore that isn't an airbnb #I'm still lucky in my town when compared to other places like Barcelona which are already full of the airbnb plague #actualitat #airbnb #tourism #touristic massification #gentrification

I have a headcanon that norway is actually really good at speaking (eu) spanish as spanish is the most popular language norwegians choose to learn in high school (with german being the next most popular, he's probably fluent in that too lmao) what am saying is; norway could probably hold a conversation with Spain without any problem🇪���🗣️

(also let's be real, norway would probably need to speak/understand spanish as spain is his hollyday paradise😂)

Come on, you don't need to know Spanish to go on holiday there?? We know there's only one phrase you'd need to know how to say when in Spain 😎 /j

#hetalia #aph norway #aph spain #hws norway #hws spain #lol but you are prob very correct tho! #I had spanish in school too! And super popular tourist destination ofc #tho there are a lot of retired norwegians living there and just refusing to learn the language too 🙈 and importing norwegian foods #and german is just a language Norway prob had to learn ages ago with all the trading with the Hansaetatene #and with all the technology and engineering the germans brought to norway during the later centuries too #german is unavoidable as a language for norway

[ilovelatenightlocaltrains]

Shinjuku after the last train

im totally sane and have a very healthy sleep schedule

#i know the exposure is too high but i was feeling exposed that day okay #also i kinda like the vibe of overexposure and light rain and neon lights #also went by okubo park (didnt take photos ofc) and apparently they are staying up very late to avoid harassment from tourists #kabukicho #shinjuku #tokyo #japan #photography #night #neon

[despazito]

Sleeping Sayan in the southern Siberian Ergaki, there’s a hanging rock in the nearby mountains and the local legend is that he’ll wake up once it falls. It’s a very nice day hike if the country ever unfucks itself

#somewhere theres old photos of me at the rock #the classic tourist pose ofc is pretending to push it down

[juneviews]

I'm convinced more than half of never let me go's purpose is just flexing phuwin's language skills lmao

#axelle rants #never let me go #phuwin tangsakyuen #also ofc the tourist was fucking french lmaooooo always count on the white person in a thai drama being french #or american or german but that's it white people only come from 3 countries in thai drama land 😂 #if phuwin had started speaking french too I would've lost it

[thepavementsings]

Went on instagram today to see that a girl in my program who yelled at people for buying a plastic water bottle at a gas station after a drunk night out because of the environment just post stories of her galavanting around her hotel in Maui on her vacation that was 'too expensive to cancel' 🙃

#ive never been so disgusted in my life like #my extended family who live there's house BURNED DOWN #she had the audacity to ask me if she could STAY ON THEIR COUCH when she was planning this trip a few months ago #and now she's there as a TOURIST #with and ENVIRONMENTAL SPECIALIZATION ON HER MASTERS DEGREE #ofc shes a white woman

[im-smart-i-swear]

webby would have LOVED mystery flesh pit national park

#my funky guys #shed be sooo fascinated w it #shed be pissed about the comercialisation of it n shit BUT. at the same time if she could take a hike in there? #she would. 100%. and shed be having a blast tge whole time #like. shed have a love hate relationship w the whole national park thing and how irresponsible the whole situation was #bc it WAS shitty and sketchy as hell #but on the other hand she just really really loves the idea of being able to walk around the insides of a colossal beast #so shed be like 'ofc nobody should be allowed to fuck around in there like that wtf dude thats so dangerous and irresponsible #.except for me. they should let ME fuck around!!! fuck the corporation and tourists i would treat her right!!!!!! #*I* would be careful and wouldnt exploit the resources and keep distance from the fauna unlike SOME PEOPLE' #ok well. i mean weblums exist so i suppose she COULD walk around the insides of a giant organism #but still the mystery flesh pit has that certain allure. a vibe. weblums are cool as hell but theyre not an eldritch underground horror #weblums are cool space whales but the mystery flesh pit is .well the mystery flesh pit. cant rlly compete w that #anyway. the pit may be a deatrap but not for her. shed survive. shes special like that the giant lobsters wouldnt eat HER #also webby would be very much on the pits side. its not ITS fault people are stupid?? its just chilling!!! its not evil!!!!!! #'ohh but those arthropods are scary!!! WELL. theyre WILD ANIMALS DIPSHIT ofc theyre hostile. and plus theyre cool as hell'

[general-george-washington]

That this exists is so wild

#borden house is ofc a tourist trap but a recreation of the hatchet? really?

[fauvester]

when it comes down to it nothing makes me sappier than bashir living on cardassia after the war using his prodigious skill and energy to practice medicine among people that need him so much. learning and growing in a place where nobody cares about his genetics. surrounded by loved ones and coworkers and neighbors who are all caught in his bizarre terran thrall

#dee s 9 #AND PERHAPS EVEN A LIZARD HUSBAND! #in my little mindpalace ofc the cardassians don't give a fig about genetic engineering #his weirdboy swag and big old eyes have enraptured them #LIKE FUCK STAYING ON DS9 AND DEALING WITH TOURISTS WITH THE FLU. GO SAVE A GENERATION! #A CHALLENGE WORTHY OF HIS MAGNIFICENT CAPABILITY NOBLE PRINCIPLES AND INFLEXIBLE STUBBORNNESS!! #WHAT GREATER CAUSE COULD THERE BE!! HEAL A PLANET AND WIN OVER THE PEOPLE YOU OUGHT TO BE HATED BY!! OUGHH! #SWADDLE FAT CARDASSIAN BABIES GOD FUCKING DAMN IT #to delete #man. its been that post peds clinic night huh

[wellenklavier]

oh also does anyone else go wandering in graveyards for fun or is that just me and other miscellaneous goths. try it if you get the chance

#im respectful of people and their loved ones ofc like im not trying to LOOK like a weird grave tourist #i just look for the oldest graves and read the birth/death dates #its a trip. also child graves :( make me cry sometimes

[bosquedemel]

out of curiosity i checked some real estate websites to see the price of rent here in my city and it's worse than before. a t1 (one-room) apartment for 1800€ is insane. the cheapest i saw was 980€.... that's like 97% of my monthly salary at my last job (highest i ever earned)

#still for the area its located 980€ is a sensible price as things go but still way out of my reach ofc #we visited a large t1 in a condo the other day (our friends are staying there cause its rented to tourists) #and my mom was like “i wonder how much the rent would be for a person to live in.... 500€?” LMAO no #i checked the price of an identical apartment in the same building and its 250 000 € to buy so... #text

So like...theoretically. If someone were to be planning an art party. Theoretically. Where would be a good, easily-accessible, non-combat-interfering area where people could gather for said activity? THEORETICALLY.

#y'know. theoretically. #also if you don't know what an art party is it's a common thing in ffxiv where people gather to hang out and draw/screenshot/whatever #it's very cute and a little hard without an ability to examine people but #uH THEORETICALLY #NOT LIKE I'M THINKING ABOUT IT OR ANYTHING #but if i WAS the beach bar in lion's arch feels both underutilized and easily accessible #however also subject to the whims of LA mapchat so ehhh #anyway pls give me suggestions to continue thinking about #in a completely theoretical manner ofc #obnoxious tourist simulator

[edgepunk]

my sleep-deprived brain is cackling at the fact that the polish word for "west" (zachód) means "toilet" in my language

#t #ofc cannot forget the classic szukać (search/find/looking for) #it means 'to fuck' here #how many polish tourists got a side glance when they said 'szukam' #still catches me off guard tbh

[theguiltinessisyours]

everytime I have to go into the city centre of my town I'll take a walk to the most tourist-y spots and try to guess who's American. This ususally is achieved by looking at shoes and sporty backpacks

#idk why but it always heavily fascinates me #that people come to the city I grew up in #and watch places I see everyday #it's always a bit of a surreal feeling #and ofc it's the same when I'm a tourist somewhere else lol #german stuff

[chaylattes]

what is up homie j. slices. happy ace week. i might be demi

#demisexual AND demiromantic btw. #i've been seesawing back and forth for months trying to figure this out considering all me... other labels... but u know what. fuck it <3 #i really am just out here collecting labels like they're fridge magnets at a tourist gift shop <3 #at this point i actually should get fridge magnets with all my labels kjdgkjfsdkj #yeah i know i should be trying to fit myself in a box but maybe my box is covered in fridge magnets. #shouldn't* #my box is magnetic ofc. for the fridge magnets to stick. #chay's shenanigans
