  1. I have been there too and it was packed with tourists. I enjoyed it but it wasn't relaxing.

  2. I have also been to this village but before Covid, lots of visitors, very crowded. Many tour busses. I saw flowers with little tree frogs living inside and I saw newts living in the rice fields.

  4. Really weird what you are writing here. Germans say GENAU all the time when listening. My internal nickname of the Germans is the Genau people. When you are in a German train then you will hear genau, genau, genau... coming from all directions. Same when you walk on German streets. I love the German language but their Genau's annoy me.

  5. My room in the YMCA NYC was a lot smaller and not cheap at all.

  6. If there is a severe drought somewhere than the local farmers should invite you two for a visit :) (expenses paid of course)

  7. Some of these places were very touristy in pre covid times.
