Well, even though I'm Balkan, I'm not actually old enough to have friends traveling that much, so I haven't noticed anything... Though I must say, everyone travels these days for some reason?? Like why??
^ im from Central Europe, and my friends who are able to travel only went to northern countries recently, and nobody ever mentions going to south-eastern countries… it may correlate with what kind of people im surrounded by, though… (former art students, lol)
yea i noticed a lot of my acquaintances (girls especially) visited turkey at least once in their early 20s, its so often, at least here in my country that i feel like its such a basic thing to do nowadays lmao, idk why tho
In case of Russia everyone goes to Turkey because it's cheap, visa-free and relatively easy to bring money to, with all the bank bans and stuff. Same thing with Egypt.
I remember Tunisia being highly popular back when I was kid and even I went with my family few times, now most of people I know were going to Turkey. I heard about influencers from my country boasting about visiting Middle Eastern countries often though.
Read everyone's replies - that's so interesting and yeah I can see why people visit turkey, but its funny how it became The One destination to visit for us europoors :'). And yeah, women especially do it! And I do remember tunisia being really popular when I was a kid too, my bffs older sister even went there on her high school trip!
As a fellow eqstern euro, I think this has been an ongoing trend, when I was little in the early 2000s going to Egypt was like the bougiest thing you could do, nowadays it seems to be UAE. I think its just the closest "southern" climate we can get? Like Canaries or something seems more expensive. Idk why one, especially a woman, would willingly go to UAE tho lmao
romania here and usually the default travel destinations are bulgaria and greece. i guess turkey is also pretty popular but mainly those two
It was good reading your thoughts on Ergo Proxy! It's been on my watchlist for years... I thought it would be too Big Brained for me but I think I will finally give it a watch!
I honestly think it's not that complex and adults shouldn't have too many issues with tackling the themes and all. Could be wrong but most people saying "this anime was WACK and nothing makes sense!" probably just didn't watch it too closely heh
Great thoughts on Ergo Proxy. One of my faves!
"fuck grandpa tho" made me lose my shit lmao. imagine your raison d'etre being... to just sit there
