RE: Look Up. You're Missing It.

in #world2 years ago (edited)

I remember the first time I was in NYC in the 1980's as a teen, everyone told me "Don't look up, they'll know you're a tourist and you'll get robbed." Lol.

Ugh, designer crap. It reminds me of those American tourists who seek out familiar restaurant franchises while traveling or stay in all-inclusive resorts and never leave the grounds. I always think, why even travel if you stay inside of your bubble? Speaking of designer stuff I just heard it costs Louis Vuitton less than $100 to make bags they charge over $1,500 for. Lemmings, I tell you.

Sort:

Ha that makes sense. Now it seems to be more a matter of looking cool or something.

I was just passing one, I don't remember which, and thinking why? Why come all this way so you can have the exact same hamburger? Baffling. Lemmings, indeed.
