Not to get too off topic but large scale pig farming has its own environmental issues with waste run off destroying waterways.

No it is definitely pork according to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation. Pork is 36% while beef is 24%. If you think about it Muslims only make up a quarter of the world population while Jews less than 1% that includes those who aren't particularly observant so take away those and it will be even less non pork eaters. As for pork adverse Christians that minority is so tiny it won't make a dent next to populous countries like China, Philippines or Mexico where pork is hugely popular😂.

One thing about people liking a post it usually means people agree with the statement made which is similar to corroborating a statement. Therefore there must be some truth to the statement if others feel their experiences match that statement enough for them to like or up vote the post. I know it is not a perfect system, and demographics would play a part in the results but I do think there is some value in seeing how others react to a post.

I once ended up having McDonalds in France. It was our first time in France and we underestimated what close everything after lunch hours meant so the only place left opened was McDonalds. Have to say the French McDonalds was the tastiest McDonalds I had especially the cheese in the burger. It felt like an up market McDonalds😂.

Yep probably due to all the ways it can be cured😄

Some people need to check in on family, sometimes even work will butt into your holiday. Once I had an issue that didn't resolve before I left for my trip so I was really grateful for the WiFi so I could still send the relevant emails There are apps you can use where you input your countries and cities and it calculates all your travel statistics. I find them fun plus it is a great excuse to reminisce over trips😊.

Not really surprising as chicken is the second most eaten meat globally.

It might not be your thing but it is definitely a phenomenon. There are travellers who make it their mission to try McDonalds at least once in every country they visit. Funnily I have heard the same critiques levelled at cruise ship food😂.

You would think billionaires would be a little bit wary of submersibles🤨

I looked up EST America and Google says as I am posting this it is 3am so CC staff might still be asleep😄. I think it is fair enough to wait till the sun comes up at least.

One reason would be to try their local variations. Like in Japan you can get matcha sundaes, taro pies in China, banana pies in Brazil, biryani in India, pasta soup in Hong Kong, kale soup in Portugal, bulgogi burgers in South Korea, McFalafels around the Middle East, shrimp burger in Cyprus and Greece, McSmazak in Czechia, McCurrywurst in Germany, they use rye buns on their burgers in Finland, alcohol is served in French and Serbian McDonalds, arepas in Colombia, local sauces like aji in Bolivia and Chile, the list goes on. Sometimes it can be fun to see how international franchises adjust to the local area.

Maybe for you but as I post this, it is the middle of Saturday over here 😜.

I always do the border first as well, it is a great strategy 😄.

Easy mistake to make. It is India's Republic Day which celebrates the official adoption of their constitution. Independence Day is 15 August. 🇮🇳

The most eaten protein in the Caribbean is chicken and fish so that probably would explain the popularity of KFC. Somewhere I read that Bajans prefer the flame grilled flavour of Burger King compared to McDonalds pan grilled flavour. BBQ meat is very popular overall in the Caribbean so perhaps Burger King is just a better match to their palette.

Thinking of those in Townsville, good luck this Australia Day 🫂 hopefully they can do a make up BBQ when the storm passes.

Nord Kapp?

One of the posts said if you write out the website name your own post goes to moderation so I was trying to be careful, but here is a clue, Snoo is the logo and I was referring to their Travel sub forum.

I would assume if they adopted up voting they would remove the Like button but that is up to the web designer. As for whether the post is correct I can only go with my experience in the R travel group and usually the information is pretty good. To be fair if you don't like the top response you can set it to newest post first so you do have choices. As for the reorientation you clearly did not read my original post when I said they would obviously have to change the threading of the conversations. Every site that uses up voting use nested threads because otherwise the conversation would be taken out of context. Thank you for the detail response and your little experiment but you could have saved the effort by re reading my original response that already addressed your issue. I clearly said that up voting will obviously not work on linear threads. I have to be honest I am not sure I understand your question. The sites that use up votes don't have linear conversation threads therefore there is no first new unread post hence why I said in my original post which everyone seems to have skipped that it would not work with this current style of threading. Hopefully I have cleared things up enough that I don't have to repeat myself again😂

You do realise you can still reply to posts? Up voting doesn't take away that feature, therefore you still have a conversation. As for popularity it is not that much different to likes which already cruise critic participates in. No one asks posters who like posts why they like it so why should people who up vote justify their choices? If you have a post that is really informative and answers the OPs question it can be useful to have it at the top especially if there are pages and pages of posts. Not everyone has time to read through hundreds of posts sometimes veering off topic to find the answer they are looking for. Up voting itself is not a bad feature but within the current linear thread structure it won't work.

As someone who frequents the Travel group in R I have to say up voting is not that bad, and you tend to get most informative answers at the top. However R's whole thread structure is that they nest reply conversations so the flow isn't interrupted by the reorganising of up votes. If my reply to a post doesn't go directly under that post, it will end up a disorganised mess. You can't have up voting without changing how conversations are threaded.

Since you are from USA may I recommend you try this website: Australia Travel Advisory And this website: Australia Traveller Health They give you official information on the entry requirements into Australia and as you can see with both sites no Covid restrictions are listed. There have been some sensationalist claims made in regards to Australia and Covid, that is why when it come to travel health advisory it is best to stick with official sources instead of random internet articles designed to generate clicks.

There is documentary called China Love that is all about the wedding photo industry in China. Couples will spend a small fortune in China to have stylised wedding photos before the wedding so it doesn't surprise me to hear they are now going overseas to do after wedding photos😂.

If gratuities are already included then I would think the comment card recommendation would probably be more use with this cruise company than extra tips. Luxury brands tend to want to keep the best staff and reduce staff turnover. They care about the comment cards feedback forms alot more than mass market cruises. If you only privately appreciate the staff it might make you feel good but it is not going to do much for their careers. Having their name in the feedback form full of praise is going to incentivise their employer to do what they can to keep them and in the long run it will lead to far more riches than a couple of Euros a day.

I got my yen straight out of the ATM at Haneda airport. For me that was the most convenient.
