It's good to see you wandering around the hidden corners of the world and visiting places I'll probably never see. Have you done Budapest? That's an interesting place. I found the people to be very serious but pleasant and helpful. Its not surprising they're a bit dour given their history of occupation by the Nazis and then the Soviets. Amazing buildings, bars, cafes and museums. I read that 10% of the population are alcoholics so, my kinda place! I'm not very well travelled but I was blown away by Cuba, I can't recommend it enough. Fantastic culture, music, architecture and history., brilliant people with a real joy of life though they don't have an easy time. Apart from that, I've been to Idaho because my sister lived there with her husband for a while and I went to visit her a couple of times. It's an incredibly boring place. Everything is beige there, at least in the parts I saw. Very devoutly Christian and fields of wheat stretchiing as far as the eye can see towards lumpy brown mesa. All anyone talks about there is God and potatoes. Josh, the teenage son of my sister's neighbour was lodging with her after being thrown out by his mum who had decided he was a Satanist... because he liked rock music and had a biography of Aleister Crowley! Really nice young lad. I used to sit and get drunk with him in his room while we listened to White Stripes and smoked weed which he could get hold of in abundance. He used to say "I fucking hate this place Nick but I'm not allowed to say that because it's all about being patriotic here" I'd say "I fucking hate it too and I don't have to live here. You can say what you want to me mate and it's nice to be able to say to an American that I can't stand this part of America. It's all beige". I really made him laugh once by saying I was planning to walk around the town of Emmett, Idaho wearing beige shoes, socks, trousers, gloves and balaclava so that I would become invisible apart from my eyes. I said I would go up to people and start talking to them in my accent about whatever came into my head and all they would see was a pair of eyes talking rubbish. Thereafter, a legend would go around about 'The English Eyeballs haunting the town. We became hysterical with laughter about the idea of it. Awful place but there was a decent biker bar with a hot proprietress in her early 40s with a gravelly voice. Cheap bourbon and the politest biker gang I've ever met. Never got further than flirting a bit though. With her I mean, not the bikers! Apart from that, the only good thing about Emmett, Idaho is that Aaron Paul- Jesse Pinkman from Breaking Bad and star of that brilliant Black Mirror episode- comes from there.
@@globaltreats Yes, I loved the ruin bars with their eccentric decor. We should do that in Sheffield, plenty of abandoned shops and buildings to choose from. I think Budapest's ruin bars are semi-legal at best but the authorities turn a blind eye. Over here, they'd be shut down 5 minutes after opening so an overpriced hipster clip joint could open in their place or just left to stand empty. A bit like kicking out homeless people sheltering in an old factory so luxury apartments can be put up. 🙄
Apple has just pulled its 9-minute advert featuring Thailand due to the backlash from Thais and foreigners who know Thailand alike. Apparently, this US corporation couldn't defend its decision to unfairly portray Thailand as if it had gone back 30-40 years in time. Perhaps, it's time someone also updated his views on the world outside the West a bit. Do you know what a passport is?

I have been to Budapest. Really enjoyed it. The ruin bars are great and, as you say, some incredible architecture.

@@DanyilShymchenko The one in Castleton is quite nice. Not sure about bubble and squeak for breakfast though. Too much bubble and not enough squeak.
