    What book are you reading? Part 20

    in Channel Zero

    Posted

    hey, no problemo

     

    yes,i try to read up.

    sometimes it's just looking at killinghope.com and seeing if the country has a chapter in there.

    i usually try to check out the basic facts about the place at a bare minimum, like wikipedia shit

    (wiki is pretty good for stuff like this imo, saves me trouble really.)

    sometimes CIA world factbook can tell you other interesting stuff but i also look at what the state department is saying about places.

    i never wanna be ignorant.

    we also have a TON of travel books. mostly lonely planet but their quality is not as reliable as it once was.

    those books almost always address some historical stuff to get the broad strokes.

     

    to book,

    i have tended to check kayak (and avoid weird 3rd party booking sites that they might have priced on there, like webjet. i've heard orbitz is dicey. expedia, travelocity and priceline are ok but i try to book directly with the airline)

    i often come up with amazing deals.

    these days i've learned that following theflightdeal on facebook can be good.

    they tipped me off to a 1 day sale which got me $400 tix to korea.

     

    stay flexible, and go where the sale takes you, is my advice to basically everyone. if you are close to or can easily reach multiple gateways, check them all.

     

    for rooms, i look at booking.com for the deal and check the quality of the place on tripadvisor. TA has been where i've gone to book or find the (few) tours i've taken, and it's been fantastic so far

     

    stay away from acapulco.

    I've been going through stuff I have been gifted from Sword over time - sketches and stuff. This thread came to mind because we were talking about it when we were drinking one night a few years back, so I've been reading old posts.

    This one is eerie. Dude was obviously joking since that's how his sense of humor was, but still. Gone but not forgotten, RIP Sword.

     

    oh fuck. i guess? it was a joke but i feel obligated to mention that i never deleted the drug thread.

    very sorry to see this.

     

    the struggle is real.

    Rest in Peace swordfish.

    Who the fuck is currently steering this ship... Can someone at least update the front page with a daily throw back pic or some shit...

     

    It's beyond depressing...

     

     

    woah.

    random hero and mitch

    throwback thursday or some shit

     

     

    anyway i think we might've lost another developer. last post was in may and there's only been lurking since, with last login July 7 or something.

    don't expect much.

    we mods have exactly zero control over the front page and the social media accounts, and there has been nothing but crickets from the actual people running things behind the scenes.

     

    glorious days are gone.
