My brother posts his pictures on Flickr. I haven't used it except to view, so I'm not sure how sending links work. I do know that I can view because he set it to "share" with me after i did an account there. but it doesn't collect personal data, just email address..
Your pictures are always great. These even sparkle with the colors. I'm very glad you provide links. I don't have an FB account to see them without the links.
So, I prefer some convenience, like not taking forever to get somewhere. I also realize that sometimes spending more gets more for the local folks and their economy (not always though).
I do try to play politics and avoid bad-people states and go to good. (does this mean I should be traveling more than staying home? )
I try to avoid typical tourist clothes and just dress as normal folks do wherever I travel. I don't wear fancy, designer clothes, so sometimes I'm underdressed. I also don't do typical tourist tours or the mobbed-by-tourist attractions.
That doesn't mean I am unshamable, but don't hold perfect ideals against people that aren't perfect, and those that do aren't perfect either.
Best wishes on your upcoming trip. I'll be back home in a few days.
Wordsmitty ✍️ I remember something similar from growing up. Reminds me that I can't remember much any more.
Euro-American airlines aren't the best. They're basically Air Greyhound with wings and minimal service. Not as bad as traveling by mini-van in Thailand though; that can be brutal.
