Why is it that every time you ask people what there is to do in a city, all they talk about is restaurants, bars and museums?
>>
>>2878372
Why are you trying to "do" stuff? Lolwtf?
>>
>>2878372
Cities are planned to maximize efficiency, that means putting workers' homes close to their place of employment.
They were never designed for tourists to have whimsical adventures in.
Hence generally the only attractions you can see in a city will be restaurants, bars and museums.
>>
>>2878372
Its how cityoids cope with their forced diversity and $4000 rent; they get drunk all the time and call it "culture".
>>
>>2878372
it's probably because they recognise you as being yet another boring unsophisticated tourist with bland tastes. i could tell you a bunch of cool interesting stuff about my city but what would be the point
>>
>>2878372
Getting drunk is all city people know how to do
>>
>>2878396
No you couldn't, fartsniffer. There's nothing "le cool"
Learn to cope with your miserable existence and face reality like a man.
>>
>>2878401
>fartsniffer
ok anon i see somehow you grew into one of those people who despite being actual adults still hasn't grown out of their playground mindset. not much point talking to you about anything. grow up a bit eh
>Learn to cope with your miserable existence
my existence isn't miserable, although i "cope" with it very well thanks
>and face reality like a man.
i would wager that my reality is very different from yours
>>
>>2878372
If you go shopping for durable goods, then you're gonna have to carry that shit around with you for the rest of your trip. So most people don't see shopping as feasible when traveling.
>>2878398
Getting drunk is more prevalent in rural areas, where people buy 12 beers at a time. When you're paying $10 for a single drink, you're going to sip it slowly.
>>
>>2878407
why do you come here and do this shit? go on instagram or reddit and perform your fake and gay life there. This is an anonymous board for unfiltered discussion. Cut the shit or get out
>>
>>2878372
Because that typically is what people do in a city.
>>
Does anyone actually enjoy going to museums
>>
>>2878451
It's performative bullshit. They like to tell people they went to museums more than they like the actual content of the museum.
>>
>>2878416
>reeeeeeee muh sekrit club
do behave anon
>>2878451
>Does anyone actually enjoy going to museums
yes, of course. actually visiting art, museums etc in other countries is one of the reasons i travel. not everyone is an uncultured mouthbreather anon. maybe if you learned to appreciate things a bit more you wouldn't be quite such a wretched miserable cunt

To be fair, you have to have a very curated aesthetic to understand museums. The lighting is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of angles, negative space, and how to pose without looking like you're trying too hard, most of the exhibits will just end up as blurry backgrounds in your Stories. There's also the docent's nihilistic outfit—effortlessly monochrome, very Bauhaus—which is deftly woven into my carousel post. I don't actually read the labels, obviously. The fans—my followers—they understand this stuff. They have the intellectual capacity to double-tap a photo of me pretending to contemplate a Rothko while actually checking my reflection in the glass. As a consequence, people who don't post from museums are literally irrelevant. They wouldn't appreciate, say, the way a single gallery guard looks the other way while I reposition a stanchion for better lighting. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons actually reading a didactic panel while I'm three rooms ahead, already uploading the unskippable reel set to a slowed-down Lana Del Rey remix. What fools... how pity their engagement metrics. And yes, by the way, I DO have a museum membership. It's not even for the free admission—it's a soft flex in my "links" highlight. And no, you cannot see what's in my camera roll. It's 47 nearly identical shots of me touching my own jaw next to a marble bust. I didn't even note the artist's name.

I think that maybe having sex and playing video games is the only thing that feels good in life. Staring at a painting is nice, but you aren't going to remember it later.
>>
>>2878451
>>2878455
Museums are great, but not art museums. It's just a collection of random art that I could see online. My local art museum I have at home is literally all I need. Same applies to any science or natural history museums. They're all the same.
History or cultural museums, on the other hand, are where it's at. Places you can actually see real artifacts and learn something new. Bonus points if it's a really specific niche subject.
>>
>>2878460
based. whatcha playan anon
>>
>>2878463
I play Red Dead Redemption 2 on the PC in order to simulate cowboy experiences. Then I watch illicit content in the Apple Vision Pro in order to simulate real world sexual experiences. In this way, all the necessary base instincts are gratified.
>>
>>2878464
bad tastes
>>
>>2878465
I haven't actually played the game in months. I just like to say that I play it. It feels good when I say it.
>>
>>2878466
based and performance pilled
>>
>>2878459
lol did you actually spend actual time in your life writing all that or did you get ai to write it for you
either way anon, you're pretty fucked up
>>
>>2878476
it's from a museum
>>
>I don't like museums
Genuinely what the fuck else do you do while traveling?
>>
>>2878489
wtf do you do in a museum?
>>
>>2878410
>Getting drunk is more prevalent in rural areas, where people buy 12 beers at a time. When you're paying $10 for a single drink, you're going to sip it slowly.
I live in Kansas and very few people drink here.
>>
>>2878494
well, the best museums are nice old houses where hey have rich wood paneling to admire and careful architectural details
and if you are lucky they have some original furniture to see
I feel like the best architecture was sorta between 1870-1920 just after italianate died down (which was about veneers and not elaborate woodwork

I like local art museums, there's a nice one in zanesville ohio
big city art museums can be crowded and overwhelming and the collections generic but in general small museums are nice

I walked through a historic museum in monticello kentucky, it was an old hotel turned rooming house, and each apartment was a display of local effects, its a way to see what things people had 100 years ago, to read some stories, and also, small museums often have boomers volunteering who sometimes can direct you to interesting local sites like mills or swinging bridges

>>2878532
what else is there to do in kansas?

also, I recommend browsing local art galleries, you don't have to buy anything, and it's free
gift shops are free museums for the poor
>>
>>2878372
I don't understand the people obsessed with drinking in other countries.

You spend your limited time and money to travel, and you just want to do something that will hamper memory and awareness? That you can do at home? Instead of doing literally anything else?
>>
>>2878540
wowie zowie wood panels???
>>
>>2878548
sometimes they get very intricate and you can see the natural graining of the wood and you can get very ornate shapes
some properties imported artisans from europe to help with wood and stone cutting

not every house has nice stuff, but some had a lot of effort put in
>>
>>2878553
NATURAL GRAINING!?!?!???
>>
>>2878372
The biggest noob travel mistake I made was staying in big cities too long. When I was in Seoul I was there for a week and couldn't wait to go home by the time I was done.

For most cities 3 nights is more than enough.
>>
>>2878563
>one week
>too long
lol. you need at least 18 months to start to see seoul
