First, thanks to all the wonderful suggestions and tips for my upcoming trip to Tokyo next month. You guys rock! I have more than enough to choose from now, wow!
At some point there will be a guest post here…about music. It will greatly help the “educate” part of the TBB Blog Mission.
After another Champions League Final heartbreaking loss by Atletico Madrid to their crosstown rivals Real Madrid I was left aghast…can you be more cruel after losing to them a few years ago in a last minute play in overtime and then losing to them in PKs after missing just one that hit the damn post!
Lets keep it light and we all enjoy the Memorial Day Weekend. Get out and enjoy the outdoors!
We’ll stay away from travel and miles and points, we all need detox!
I really enjoyed this article in the Washington Post about the aunt of Kin Jong Un, who has been running a dry cleaning business in the US since 1998. Wow! My fascination with this bizarre country continues. I dropped everything at Panera and read it, it’s a must read! I think they are starting to sound a little homesick and positioning for a great encore career in retirement.
The secret life of Kim Jong Un’s aunt, who has lived in the U.S. since 1998
This is an awesome personal finance post! It very much resembles my thinking in the matter and it is wildly opposite to how I feel about the future prospect of travel hacking. I am not joking lol. Take some time to read it all. There is so much bearish crap out there that is just mind boggling. It has always been out there and, as the author correctly mentions, perhaps the two recent bubble bursts has led to this sentiment (in spite of all the evidence) to continue gathering such a strong buzz! If you don’t take the time to read it because you are grilling or something, I pulled the final paragraph and pasted it here for you.
Permanently Bearish Commentary
So here’s my permanently bullish thought: The world is going to keep getting better in the long run. But practically any measure global wealth and well being will improve over the rest of my lifetime, and my children’s lifetimes. Along the way there will be panics and crashes and bubbles and politicians you hate and horrifying global events. Asset prices will rise and fall and rise again, because that is what asset prices do. Competitive corporations will seek new ways to increase revenues and profitability. Many will fail. In a long enough time period, any single company is all but guaranteed to fail. But the collective whole will succeed, and shareholders will benefit. If this all sounds a bit too Pollyanna for you, maybe long-term investing in stocks isn’t for you.
And something for the entertainment factor, a crucial component of what TBB stands for always! These are great!

Is this a sneak peak at Devil’s Advocate next article?

I would respond to the Milesperday blog post but then I thought about it and decided to go on with my day because I think he wanted my reaction. And I am just not going to do him a favor. Besides, I have not read a post using the word “hate” so much, wow! I excuse myself for using it in my epic rant about the pumpization orgy this hobby has become but, you know, now that I think about it, not sure I used that word as many times in a post that was 20 times longer!
Doing a whole separate blog post about it, wow.
I find it interesting to see how many jumped to his support. First, it was Doctor of Credit who agreed with the post. You all know I like his blog. Just found a different longer way (and, imho, more respectable way to become a Titan). And based on what he revealed in reddit and the amount of buyout that blog was offered is well on his way.
In the meantime, there is an incredible love fest going on on Twitter between Tahsir (Bengali Miles Guru), Travel is Free Drew and MMS. WOW!
This is my little baby and I can express myself the way I want without any corporate overlords telling me what to write and watching my “conversions”. And I like it this way.
So the question then becomes: Do I grill today or leave it for Monday?
@Curly: you are on fire!
lol love the gif!
didn’t get all the accountant jokes but OK.
wearing myself out in Florence, not thorough enough planning and a little cheap about taking taxis, want to walk for the exercise too. It is a pattern, makes vacation like work but I lost a lot of weight last year.
In some ways it is a challenge, eg. how to do the bus or subway, but can result in lost time. Not the laser efficiency of taxis.
I wish I was in Florence but Ann Arbor is just peachy as well. Absolutely stunningly gorgeous day!
Everything posted made a great deal of sense.
However, think about this, what if you were to write a killer post title?
I ain’t suggesting your content isn’t solid, but suppose you added a title that makes people want more?
I mean Accountant Jokes, Kim Jong Un's Aunt, Permanently Bearish – TravelBloggerBuzz is kinda vanilla.
You could glance at Yahoo’s front page and note how they write news titles to
get viewers to click. You might add a related video or a pic or two to grab
readers excited about everything’ve written. In my opinion, it might make your blog a little livelier.
