Where you intend to stay is part of the questioning when you enter and they can get quite suspicious if you don't have a plan. Source: An Austrian, white friend of mine who went to the US. He also just wanted to travel around but was warned in advance (by other, mostly white europeans) that he shouldn't state that when asked. It's just not worth the risk.

While that's not the same as having to show hotel bookings for the whole stay, it is a thing travelers have had to worry about for quite some time now. I'm sure it's worse and more complicated for anyone of color.

Isn't that a Jehovah's witnesses thing or something?

This, anyone with strong glasses would be disabled in the stone age, lol. Needed some surgery before? You'd be dead. Ever broke a bone? Likely dead.

I went through my whole (living) family tree once and I'm pretty sure none of us would have survived, including me.

If you ever think you can fly: start from the ground.

Good advice for children and drunk people.

Not true everywhere, actually never heard of it here (Germany and Austria).

But if you walk into a place and ask for a paper cup of tap water, a lot of workers are willing to give it to you, regardless of the laws.

Vienna has tap water straight from the mountains btw and it tastes amazing. Recommended.

Better cloth dyes, probably?

I'm not from the US. Which words did y'all borrow?

I'm pretty sure the Italians would take the war criminal over you.

The first time I heard about sex from a friend, I was around 5 or 6 and went to my mom if that's true. My mom went to the library, got some sex-ed books for kids and talked me through it. It ended up being not one single talk, but multiple, age appropriate ones spread over the years.

She didn't do a perfect job, I'd say. There were many things left unknown and she was awkward with the topic (not an issue as a kid, certain issue as a teen).Though, considering that she got all her sex ed from magazines back in the day, definite progress on a generational scale.

I'm confident that I could do a better job than her, because she did a better job than her parents. That's how it all works, no?

As god intended.
