My second time going to New York I was supposed to meet my long distance partner for the first time. I was so excited to go to the Met and all the great museums etc. Well, they got covid and started getting symptoms immediately and then of course I got covid from taking care of them. It was so terrible, we were both violently ill and spent the entire time in the airbnb we rented with a friend. It was by far the best trip I've ever been on though because I got to meet the love of my life. We now say that because we went through that we can handle anything, trip related or otherwise. We now live together and are coming up on a year of being together. Love this podcast and I wish you guys the happiest trips in the future!
Bless. Watching this while my fiancee and I are packing to go home after a 10 days trip to Portugal, my first trip abroad ever. We do pretty well not fighting or bickering because I am autistic and she has ADHD, and we've already gotten pretty great at communicating. But yesterday. Yesterday! We got dropped off to wander Lisbon and my partner had missed that it was a walking day, so she was wearing not good sandals. I was deeeep in an OCD self-loathing, "everything I want to do is dumb and stupid" spiral. We were exhausted and sore but god DAMMIT we were going to enjoy ourselves. ...we should have gone back to the hotel for a nap. But anyway. That afternoon we get back to the hotel and my fiancee collapses, sobbing. The damn room doesn't have a tub for her to ice her feet, just a see-through shower stall IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROOM, so she couldn't even have her meltdown in privacy. What happens next is something relationship scientists will write about for centuries. A small, 30 something Latina woman weeps on a bathroom floor, furious she can't ice her feet. Her confused, exhausted, and befuddled partner is trying to analyze if they need to help or just stay the fuck away. The sore woman attempts to take the shower head out, cranks it to the coldest temperature possible, strips down, and sits on the floor, hysterically sobbing and pointing the shower head at her feet. The confused partner watches for a moment and decides to intervene, bringing over two Advil and a bottle of wine. The crying woman says GO AWAY and the confused partner refuses, sitting down and opening up the Dogist on TikTok. The wine is met with an IT'S NOT COLD ENOUGH, and is shoved in between the feet to be cooled down with the shower spray. The crying woman demands a shirt, and the partner leaps up, IMMEDIATELY forgets where all the shirts are, and tries to whip off their own to give to their wife, walking DIRECTLY INTO A MIRROR in the process. Both people start hysterically laugh-crying at the absurdity of it all, with the confused partner sitting back down and starting to make jokes about how we need to water the feet to make sure they grow big and strong someday. They are met with a hose spray as the weeping one tries to drink from the nozzle, and avoid a near miss at water going into the open wine bottle they have both started drinking out of. The hysterical laughter-sobbing reaches a crescendo, and the sore, sobbing woman remembers that it's Mother's Day and she has to call her mom. Which she does. From the floor. Her mom answers and shows on the video call that she's at lunch with people. Anyway. Our relationship is stronger than ever and the moral of the story is: water your feet. Always do the most absurd thing you both need to do, to get through the moment, so you can laugh about it later.
TLDR: “Bao Buns” and “Chai Tea” share similar language situation Explanation: Bao (包) in Chinese means bread in general (plus some dough products, eg hamburger 漢堡包/ xiaolongbao 小籠包) The specific dish named “Bao Buns” is a traditional Taiwanese dish Gua Bao (刈包). A taco-shell-shaped steamed bun, filled with fatty pork belly and veggies. It evolved into a newer fusion cuisine, with meat alternatives, sauce and spices of your choosing - earning this dish the nickname Taiwanese burger. Frankly, Taiwanese burger makes more sense to me. As to who and why they named it Bao Buns… I have no idea lol So to clarify- “Bao Buns” means bun bun literally, just like “Chai Tea” means tea tea. Bun fact! Bread in Japanese is Pan (パン), which is phonic translation of Portuguese pão (iirc)
A couple christmases ago, my husband and I had an early morning flight to austin to see my in-laws. Cut to 6am when we’re almost to the airport and we get a phone call from my MIL that they tested positive for Covid. Thankfully, I had a friend in San Antonio who let us stay over for a few days until fevers broke, but it was a frantic first leg of the trip trying to figure out these arrangements before our 8:30am flight.
Same! I don’t like going to a restaurant just to handle and cook raw meat. I have bad memories of being at the Melting Pot and my clothes smelling like boiled meat for the rest of the night. 🤢
my most drama filled vacation was my ex besties bachelorette party i had to stop talking to her after that🙈 me and my current bestie had an amazing time tho🌈🌞 we went to maine and salem🦋

Hi
Why does Jordan always seem so annoyed with Kendahl?
It’s called stingy (you had a drink and I didn’t ) and people who are stingy with money are stingy with everything. Steer clear!!
