WHY is this form of transport not UNIVERSAL?
UBER IS OVERRATED AND EXPENSIVE!!! BRING IN TUKTUKS! Every country should also have their own names for them and have a collective tuktuk app, where you submit what country-brand of tuktuk you rode and basically collect the experiences like a PokƩdex WHILE assisting the general public at affordable prices.
Motivates people to support the locals and is just a cool way to see whatever city youāre in.
This is my pre-shower thought.

Sometimes you discover nooks and cool new things that you wouldnāt have in a car.

- taking a bus towards a random destination and see where you end up
example: i lived in nyc for the summer & on my free days i would tell myself something like ok i heard queens has good food.. letās head out there. so i stumbled into sunnyside queens and walked into every shop i could find just to try different foods or learn more about the cultures in the neighborhood. *this can be unsafe so to be fair i knew i was heading to sunny side & that iād be fine i just didnāt know what i was gonna do when i got there
- when you have the travel itch, try a new cuisine.
example: pretty self explanatory, but for someone who loves to learn about new cultures and explore what they have to offer, sometimes flying there isnāt always an option. depending where you live, trying a new cuisine (bolivian, ethiopian, bangladeshi, etc) can transport you for a little bit & make you feel accomplished.
- test your social skills (or lack thereof)
example: im a pretty social person, so take this w a grain of salt. but now that iām back home in the bay, i feel thereās a lot of catching up to do in terms of actuvuties. like, whatās the new cafe spots in town? so, i told myself i was going to have oNE new human interaction that day outside of work, family, or a random on the bus. (though randoms on the bus could work) i went to a new coffee shop in the area & sat at the bar, and chatted up some of the baristas. iām into coffee so i asked about their machines, roasting process, and even where they source their beans. didnāt leave with a best friend, but it was a side quest completed.
- get out of ur bubble and explore public transportation.
example: i use public transit almost daily and always have. i share a car so itās not always available, but i also have the privilege to drive to work some days and blast my music in the car. but i highly encourage everyone to explore their local transit system. i feel like itās taught me about my city in a way i wouldāve never experienced isolated in a car, and i am also able to zone out, be alone, and blast my music in my ears while being driven to my destinationā¦ ideal situation if you ask me!
hope these are helpful????? <3

tried reading dante alighieriās inferno. key emphasis on tried. i got bored and realised a story written in poem form is not my typa beat.
i tried because it seemed like what all the indie hipsters who are well versed would read, and that i would look cool and nicheābut it just cost me $25.
i prefer crazy detailed paragraphs rather than a line by line story.
anyways

saying āiām sickā when youāre sick is boring.
instead, here are some more funky fresh and cool ways to disclose that your immune system has been highjacked (itās time to revive these sayings from the dead!):
āi am indisposedā
āi am taken illā
āi am feeling out of sortsā
āi am suffering from a bilious attackā
āi have been seized by an agueā
āi am afflicted with a malaiseā
āi have taken to my bedā
āthe vapours have overcome meā
āi have a touch of the influenzaā
āthe rheumatism plagues meā
āi am laid low with a feverā
āi am afflicted with a troublesome ailmentā
youāre welcome
