I met others who went gorilla trekking in Rwanda and told me the family they tracked was over a dozen. Amazing. Mine was about 7-8, but luckily I saw all the attractions (silverback, babies). I went at the end of November and had great weat

Thanks for that clarification. The few times I have had attacks were either after Asian restaurants, that Zatarain's rice (MSG clearly indicated in the ingredients, I checked after my attack started) and my first time: Quiznos. I had s

I did my trekking in Uganda. It is $350 if you go during the right time of year. My group had 8 people, but I did not find the viewing angles limited. The only limitation with a bigger group is that you may be affected is someone is not phy

I do not care about "the lack of evidence tying MSG to negative health effects", I am affected. It is not racism, stereotyping or "the nocebo effect", but something that is real. One time that I had an MSG attack (racing

I was surprised to see it on the list, especially when neighboring countries have many of the same touristic aspects. Keep in mind that the Congo and the DRC are two different countries.

I rather use a website over my phone to track my expenses. Having an app is great, but a website is the topmost priority to have.

Great point, my mistake. Ultimately, StubHub policies that condone speculative selling (not releasing tickets at purchase time), allowed the seller to renege on the agreement.

The seller probably never had tickets in the first place, which is why they had to cancel the order, since they would have taken a huge loss trying to flip tickets. It happens all the time with big events: tickets will appear on StubHub bef

With Hangouts and Skype, you had to buy at least $10 worth of credit. I used Skype to call home. Point is, their website should have worked for account issues. The interesting part is that you are able to sign up for services from overseas

Now you can cancel your account worldwide! Previously, the Netflix website did not work at all from outside of their regions. Want to cancel online? You cannot. Call them? Only if you are willing to pay for a overseas call. No email support

I wish my phone was smaller. I hate big phones, and it was a challenge to find my current 4.7" Android. Never once was I worried about thinness.

The Discourse implementation of a mailing list is subpar. Many emails are delivered out-of-order or not delivered at all, the sender's email is not set in the from field, so you cannot glance at your inbox and see who replied to a thre

I still use his site as well. In fact, I used it just two days ago to see how much different using a mid-compact (52/36) is from a "standard" compact (50/34). Need all the help I can get up steep hills such as Mt. Diablo

Road infrastructure is horrid. That said, rail infrastructure is even worse, which is why there are so few railways in Africa.

It is strange using an ATM in Zimbabwe in that it dispenses US dollars. Unlike most US ATMs, it will dispense fifties and hundreds. Larger notes are mostly clean, but dollar bills are absolutely filthy. They are used until they fall apart.
