Ahh. I accidentally stepped in a crime scene there where some drunk guy died the previous night. Quite a dreamy place. The copper almost took my shoe to rule out my foot print as crime scene contamination.

I did London for 2 years, with Accenture though. Not very exotic and the weather got me down. Makes you understand why they colonized everywhere. They were like let's get the F outta here and find a sunny island 🌴

Is Tokyo doable as a solo traveler with zero knowledge of the language? Thinking of doing a group trip there but adding on a few days alone in Tokyo at the beginning. I’m pretty well traveled in general and do just fine alone, but a different alphabet certainly makes things harder (if translations aren’t common). Female if that makes a difference.

Help! I recently purchased a wanna get away ticket through Southwest for a business trip that was about $850. I was asked to cancel the trip due to other work issues in my local area. As luck would have it, there's a strong possibility that I landed a great new job and they need me to start right away. The credit is under my personal rapid rewards account. Ideas to help me avoid writing a big check to my company??
