Ananth's Travels

Simple things - like telling you the best place to change your money . (Don't do it at the first kiosk you see!) Seriously, how hard is it? They know you went to a certain place. Why not collect data from enough people to display real-time info on a map? Like gas prices. Does Google do that? Then, they'll tell you a store or museum is closing soon when you're navigating there. Why not tell you that the last train back (think about it. They know you've been starting from a certain place every day, asking for directions to various destinations. They know what your home base is.) is at a certain time - to ensure you don't learn a hard lesson in the time value of money? You tell me

Oof - tough slap to take - they did this one as a cash advance.. cost me an additional $5 😒 Sleazy...

Being told that Keswick was really nice, I did pay a visit, but don't remember much. One of the train stations in the Lake District had a cute poster (for want of a better word😊) on counting sheep in Cumbrian : one yan two tyan three tethera four methera five peen six sethera seven lethera eight hovera nine dovera ten dick The lesson : losing track of the last train or bus back, can be very costly. Plan your exit (return) when you start. It's like trading - it's easier to get into a position than out of one. The cost : $100 or so - because I was enjoying a snack in Penrith at the time the 20:05 was heading back south 😒.
