   Sorry my bad, on booking.com I only have around 50 (private), the rest are company booking systems. (felt much more!) Currently I only have the android app (well, traveling again) and I am mostly satisfied with it. However the web version I

   This might work in the US, but the rest 80% of the world... I am aware of booking's dirty tools to make you feel you have to book NOW! However, after around 100+ booking.com booking all around the world (including small villages in Ama

   Thanks for the very detailed breakdown of activities and experiences with them. I could relate to some of those. As a counter point, my back problem was chronic for 2months and didn't magically go away by itself. I was skeptic about ph

    THANK YOU for posting this. Another piece of the puzzle is in place for me. I myself sometimes thought-experiment about this (the ephemeralization tendency) during running, taking the tram etc but until now I didn't realize much bigger
