sabertoothalex I hit up St. Louis not too long ago and went to the City Museum which was rad, and the Botanical Gardens. The Arch is pretty neat too if you’ve never been, but not if you’re afraid of heights!

yeso

sabertoothalex the central library is a nice place to have a coffee and read but if you’re working you might not have daytime hours to spare.

There’s a ultra-haunted old mansion somewhere that I believe does nighttime paranormal tours. I haven’t done it myself (good christian) but I think it’s a destination for ghost people

oprel I’d highly recommend to do a little bit of hiking in Buhkansan National Park

This seems like a very good suggestion! I for some reason have a bias of not ever going to parks whenever I’m visiting other cities, even though at home I’m constantly wishing there were better parks near me that I could easily get to without a car. The weather looks like it should be clear (though somewhat cool, which is expected for the season I suppose), so I’ll try it if I have time!

DaveedNoo Denver is exciting! I have always wanted to go ever since hearing my dad describe running away from home as a teenager and taking a bus to Denver. I hope you have fun!

Top Things to Do in Daejeon

Leave
It’s not a city you need to go to on purpose and no one here is going to go to Daejeon on purpose
It looks busy because there’s lots of cars but it’s actually just because it’s in between Seoul and everywhere else
Daejeon restaurants aren’t very good

All jokes aside there’s great hiking on Bomunsan

If anyone here is going to Nueva Jersey anytime soon and you’re in the Trenton area I suggest going to the Polish neighborhood and eating at Rozmaryn. Just a small restaurant literally in a house with family coming in and out lol. Was here a couple weeks ago and was good

saddleblasters edward Gaagaagiins I went to Gwangju for a game conference once. it was pretty boring there, I found! But there was a giant coffee place called Bean Drugs which I remember the name of to this day so there’s that.

I see your Bean Drugs and raise you a…

EDIT: in case anyone has trouble loading the image, this Beer and Pizza place was called CRAFT PEEPEE

My partner took a picture of this place and then immediately after the guys in there tried to wave her in there lol

I don’t care how craft it is, I’m not drinkin’ it!

Yeah, Gwangju is not the most exciting place in Korea! I have a great fondness for it because I lived there, but it’s definitely not really a place I’d recommend going to unless you already had a good reason to be there.

I also stumbled into some good fortune there, in that a local guy began a tour company specifically to show the many foreigners interesting parts of Korea that are not really accessible if you don’t speak Korean and/or have a car. So I got to go to a lot of interesting and somewhat difficult to get to places in Korea.

DaveedNoo I went pre-covid. Found it a very bikeable city if you have time during the day. Had a good time taking those public bike rentals and following the river trail that cuts through the city. Mutiny information cafe is a coffee shop with books, records, and pinball. They host local acts at night. Domo does Japanese country food.

Doing my first trip to Joshua Tree next month despite living in southern california for ¾ of my life. I dumbly associated it with U2 and avoided it lol. Going to check out Slab City and Pioneertown while I’m out there.

DaveedNoo

seasons Thanks for the tips! Looks like Mutiny is only a couple miles from where i’m staying. Maybe I can bike there one day.

I have been to Joshua Tree and it was a good time! Hope you enjoy!

seasons Slab City and Pioneertown

Also recommend Salvation Mountain and the Salton Sea while you’re there. That whole particular region has always felt like the post apocalypse piped through 60’s biker movies to me more than anywhere else I’ve ever been.

exodus

Gaagaagiins man I’d probably go in there if it was 11 pm

You heard it here first, 11pm is CRAFT PEEPEE Time

seasons

Karasu Heck yeah. I’m excited

edit Took a look, and we’ll be able to fit these in! Thanks.

Karasu

seasons all of this stuff is extremely close, yeah. I also shouldn’t undersell how creepy some of it is! And driving through the desert is both easy and interesting!

I was going to recommend Domo, the best Japanese food I’ve ever had outside Japan, but it appears to be closed after going viral on tiktok a few months ago.

What a strange world we live in.

If you have a car the Mother Cabrini shrine is an hour or so outside town and has a great overlook of the city.

DaveedNoo

Moon I looked and saw it was closed! I hope tiktok didn’t do it..

“The Fortune Teller Bar” has a fortune teller on call who will give you a tarot reading.

exodus a person-sized tunnel

I actually found it by accident since I came to the area by foot instead of the station and wanted to wander around aimlessly for a little bit before trying to figure out your directions. I was too early though! the mall itself wasn’t open and only a handful of the places around it were. i’ll come back later!

exodus

saddleblasters yeah, do it! Also listen to that episode from a million years ago where I talk about how they dismantled the old tunnel while I was there

Rocketomato

saddleblasters the mall itself wasn’t open

I wish it will open when you check back later,since a Sunday 休息日 most likely has prompted many shops and malls to close.oh.
