Yeah but then most of the things people come to Kyoto for a closed.

Not saying I disagree.

If there's specific things you want to do that happen to be in Kyoto, I agree. I just think (somewhat from personal experience) that going to Kyoto because that's what you should do on a Japan trip is a bad idea.

Interesting. We really enjoyed Tokyo, but spent most of our time there in smaller, out of the way areas. Absolutely loved it.

Though my favorite memories are from a super tiny seaside town (no public transport, ended up there because we misread the map) in the middle of nowhere.

I mean... that's a pretty memorable trip, no?

well... at least he realizes that was bullshit...?

This is all your fault for sending those dmails :/

Oh, and while I'm at it: do not trust any food recommendation written in English. Good or bad.

If you travel to Japan, honestly just... Skip Kyoto. It is so full of tourists (national and international), you cannot possibly imagine unless you've seen it.

Sure, there's a lot of impressive temples there. But so is the rest of the country.

We were lucky enough to spend 4 weeks in Japan earlier this year, and if I could do the trip again, I would straight-up skip Kyoto and Osaka.

Rent a car, drive in some random direction. You'll he a lot happier, it it will actually be your trip. By far the best memories coke from places not in any travel guide.

Depends - was the assault comment directed at assailants or victims?

Thanks for the recommendation! That looks interesting indeed.

This entire topic is probably a sinkhole of complexity. It's great to have somewhere to look for inspiration!

Yeah those are good points. Also noticed the CDN thing, it's a bit annoying for a privacy-first project... But should be an easy fix 😄

Stirling's backend is Java. So, yeah, heavy and slow sounds about right.

The one exception here: it's great to have it installed on your parents' PC when you're the one doing the update once in a while when you are around. Rock solid in between, no nagging, and if something did break, easy to roll back.
