- Thank you dear strangers! You were god sent! I kinda sorta had a break-up towards the end of summer and so, as a coping mechanism — buried myself with work for long exhausting hours ever since. So when holidays came around, it was a good excuse to unwind and enjoy a drink or two. One of those days I went out and happened to find a new bar in m

- vote When Japan opening up? Never been and had plans to visit, everything booked and then covid hit. I’m fully vaccinated, healthy etc. How come many of the developed east asian countries shutdown to foreigners completely and stayed that way? Japan, Taiwan, Korea, China, etc. Feels very hostile to foreigners and non-natives.
- It’s going to be a depressing holiday. 1. One of my kids is sick with common cold and cough and we suspect COVID. I hope it’s not. Even if it’s not it’ll take at least 2 weeks to fully recover from past experience. 2. There goes out of the window any travel plans. Had taken 2 weeks off to go for some local trips. 3. Had hoped to get
- Hit like if you wish it would keep snowing so u can stay indoors 24/7 guilt free It's a very comforting and guiltless feeling when it snows so badly that you are stuck inside the home.

- Public holiday makes sense. What's the significance of celebrating a religious festival? Religion is a belief + mythology. Belief is fine. Mythology is a scripted story with no evidence. A belief doesn't have to be a religious. No all beliefs are acknowledged as holidays. Celebrate holidays to celebrate a belief not a mythology. Thank you and happy holidays. Long live the humanity and
