I don’t know if it’s unbelievable good or unbelievable bad from the title.
The important thing these days is: it must be Instagram worthy. That's all that matters.
You could say that's all that mattress? ... I..I show myself out
You did good. You can stay
No, that pun was sheet
The picture's not terribly Instagram worthy, but it looks like a really cool trip and I'd love to do that.
Ugh... Right.... Today I was at a place with my partner and a group of younger (not as in young, just younger than us) girls behind us. They were talking about some place they were familiar with and how cute it was, how they hadn't been there in so long
"That's like the most instagramable place ever!" I swear I could see the back of my skull, that's how hard my eyes rolled
Told my partner, "I guess we judge places by how instagram worthy they are.." Their reply, "so cringe"
Having gone through their post history, they're generally very appreciative of simple things and beautiful sights, so I'd assume unbelievably good =)
You are correct. I can't believe we actually did it. (We're back now.)
As long as you had fun, nothing else mattress
Daaaaad. Get off the internet
Not until your Mother gets me off 😎
That was bed.
So did tell us about the muskitoes, were there nets?
Yes, there were mosquito nets and no, they weren't bad. I barely noticed any. We're from Northern Canada so perhaps we are immune.
I just went through your post history too (Also from Northern Ontario).
I love your adventures! Hope you post more pictures.
How early did the boat traffic start? Was the place deserted enough to boink before bedtime?
Wholesome internet stalking
(I use the word "stalking" in jest. I am amused because usually when one has cause to "stalk" a user's post history, it's because there's some drama or dirt that turns up. I always feel awkward and a bit vulnerable when I reflect on how people can peruse your post history at will, but I find the wholesomeness of this subverts the anxiety I usually feel at this prospect. It's scary that we can quickly find enough to summarise a person's online presence, but "generally very appreciative of simple things and beautiful sights" is a lovely thing to be, and makes me wonder how I would come across at a glance. Good, I hope — because it turns out that it is possible to have positive conversations with internet strangers)
Ironic that you should mention dirt and drama in one's post history when you're the same person who posted this:
Pumpkin ginger carrot
I've cooked this! Successfully! Multiple times! Some even with homegrown Hokkaido pumpkins. And it was delicious. So proud ;)
I'm not looking for any trouble, buddy.
Hmmm, I guess I never really thought to divide my soups by season.
You're not gonna eat pumpkin soup in the summer!? Gazpacho in winter, God forbid!?
Sure why not.
Pardon my French, but you've lost your marbles.
Well I never...
More like snooping
I guess that depends on whether said orangutans are brachiators or swingers? 🤷🏼♂️
Being swingers doesn't guarantee they'll wwnt to fuck OP though
Ain't that always the hurdle w/ swingers, though. 😅😶🌫️
Probably matters more whether mosquitoes are a problem in that area.
Hey, now. Don't kinkshame. Some people are totally into little pricks. 🤌🏼
Also depends on the community. Some would be like: OMG, obviously, the mattress cover has not been ironed!
Nah that's good. A proper mattress shouldn't be taken for granted outside of the west.
how can you look at that and not immediately know if they mean unbelievable negatively?
If there are no insects and the weather is warm enough, then this is amazing.
Oh, there will be insects.
As long as there’s a mosquito net I’d still be thrilled. Going to sleep hearing the crickets and the water sounds like bliss.
I have actually done that, just not on a boat and I had a sleeping bag and pad instead of a bed. Even a crappy real bed sounds nice.
I too have been to Borneo and saw the orang-utans. Mosquito nets are not guaranteed, but yeah, with one it looks like a pretty sweet spot. Certainly better than a lot of the places I stayed at in South-East Asia .
Oh, sorry for being unclear, I meant the sleeping outside part! Never been to Borneo myself, it sounds fantastic though.
Cool place. I didn't think you had been, I was more referring to the OP. I didn't do a river cruise, though. I worked in Brunei for about 5 months, and went to Sabah to see the apes and climb Mt. Kinabalu before leaving. This was in 1994 and sadly I no longer have the photos.
I always say the unofficial motto of SEA is 'What's that smell?"
It’s not posted to some flavor of disappointing/rage community. You don’t see many negative things posted to a general pics sub.
I’d not be happy with that spot, but I can see how some people who don’t think things through could think it’s dope before actually sleeping a night there.
Because their phrasing is ambiguous and I think that would be an amazing vacation. Don't you?
I think that it looks great but it doesn’t look big on privacy so I think that my wife would be a bit concerned about that.
