Hi there! I'm reaching out over the post you made about Sokka and Katara encountering fields and plants for the first time. I believe it's made in good faith, but I also think that based on the real life circumpolar peoples that the WTs are based on, green fields and plants are not new to Sokka & Katara. I can't link it, but on my tumblr (/post/647735735644012544) there's an Image ID-ed post that addresses it. To spread awareness about these real life places, do you mind reblogging? thx!
Also want to add that while ATLA suggests that the Water Tribes live in perpetually snowy wastelands, that plays off some pretty basic stereotypes about people living in the Arctic. I think addressing this in fandom would help highlight their actual lived realities! :)
okay so. there are a lot of layers to this... 
it’s true that no one other than some really hardcore scientists actually live in the literal south pole. atla’s worldbuilding is influenced by many real-world cultures (i mean it’s pretty much impossible for high fantasy worldbuilding not to be to some extent), and it is common knowledge that the southern water tribe primarily draws from the cultures of the inuit and yup’ik people, as well as other indigenous peoples across the globe. even if you live in a tundra, there will still be some distinct change in seasons, and flora does grow there. i wouldn’t want anyone to think that i am not fully aware of these facts. 
then again, my post doesn’t actually say that katara and sokka don’t know what plants are. there’s a big difference between seeing some plants and some trees, and seeing a lush green field. i didn’t grow up in a tundra, but i did grow up in a city, and even though there were plenty of trees on my street, and many parks nearby, standing in an actual field in the middle of a verdant natural landscape is a very overwhelming experience for me (literally every time, no matter how many times it happens, i fucking love fields), the same way that seeing snow for the first time is an overwhelming experience for someone who grew up in a desert, even if they’ve also seen snow in the movies! 
i also made up the existence of poison ivy as a plant in the avatar universe for the purposes of that post, because i wanted to make a joke about sokka’s bad luck, and it was the first plant i could think of. the reason i didn’t think too hard about the wildlife that would and would not plausibly grow in the avatar universe is because, well, there is literally no guide. it’s a made-up world. pretty much every animal is just a preexisting animal mashed together with another animal, and other than one meta joke, they do not question the (extremely bizarre) implications of this at all. and there’s no point actually deeply questioning that, because it’s clear that the writers were just having fun with it. 
while atla draws from real-world cultures to inform its worldbuilding, that doesn’t actually mean that it “represents” those cultures. like, yes, if toph lived in our world, she would probably be chinese, but toph isn’t actually chinese because china as a country does not exist in atla. i would never want to diminish the lived experiences of any group of people, but just because the worldbuilding for the water tribes is largely inspired by the cultures of people who live in tundras (as well as um. australia. china. etc.) doesn’t mean that it’s any kind of 1 to 1 analogue, and i personally find it fallacious to hold it to that standard. i definitely think it’s really cool when inuit people & other people belonging to indigenous groups talk about the worldbuilding for the water tribes, and how that reflects their experiences, as well as just all the real-world cultural inspirations throughout the show, but i think we have to keep in mind that it’s a fantasy world that was never designed to accurately reflect the lived experiences of any given culture. 
i also think it is fair to assume that in the world of avatar, the north & south poles where the water tribes live don’t actually have distinct year round seasons, esp the closer one gets to the poles themselves. at no point in the show(s), including flashbacks, do we ever see it be. not-snowy. which makes sense, because it’s a fantasy world with elemental magic, and they’re going for a whole visual motif. if hemispheres exist on the atla planet (which just logically speaking, must be the case), then it would be summer in at least one of the poles. and yet, both are shown to be icy in book 1, which takes place over the course of about a month, i believe, and certainly not half a year. you might think this is a bad oversight on the part of the writers, which is certainly a valid opinion to hold. and the claim that this does not reflect the lived experiences of real-life people who live near the north pole would be true! and yet the people of the water tribes also have magic water that they can control with their minds, which is a tool that no real-life peoples possess (to my knowledge) so that’s also a pretty important factor in considering why they would actually want to live in perpetually-snowy wastelands. 
also like. imagine how funny it would be if they did have distinct seasons. zhao gives a whole speech to the highest ranking members of the fire navy like “the northern water tribe is an impenetrable fortress that has stood impervious to attacks for the past 100 years. we will need every fleet in our armamentarium to penetrate their walls.” and then he’s like “so yeah I’m thinking of attacking right smack in the middle of winter.” that would be so funny actually yeah you know what you’ve changed my mind

Hey guys,
So I went at all 14 parishes, for the first time in 2019. Most of my touring was for work, I worked with a research lab for a while. However, I did go touristing for fun.  Here’s a recap:
St. Thomas
I went to St.Thomas several times in 2019 primarily for the beach.
St.Thomas
St. Thomas actually has a nice beach that isn’t too popular and it’s pretty easy to get to. Besides the last time I went, the water was beautiful. To get to the beach, I’d have to take a Morant Bay coaster from Downtown for $250 then take a Lysson taxi from Morant Bay town centre to Lysson’s beach for $100. To get into the beach it’s $300, it was $250 earlier this year and if you’re a UWI student it’s free but you’d have to get the pass from SAS before going there. Read more about that here: 5 Things You Can Do With Your UWI ID. 
This is a beach in St.Thomas. It cost $700 JMD from downtown to get there and go back.
You’re allowed to carry food on the beach and that’s usually what I opt for but there is a cookshop directly beside it you can opt for. For a reasonable $2000 or less I could pay for transportation, access to the beach and food.
Me at Lysson Beach in September.
Portland
Portland is my all-time favourite parish, I hope I can live here in the future. I went twice in 2019 for different reasons.
The first time was for work. I was working side by side with the vector control team for one day for research purposes. Since I was working, I didn’t really get to explore but I did go to a new place which was Snow Hill. I bought lunch from a roadside shack selling Jerk Chicken and festival. It cost under $500 and it was really good.
Port Antonio
I asked some school girls to take my picture after a long day of work.
The second time, I went on a road trip with some friends. I did way more exploring here because, well, I had the time to. I spent maybe around $2500 on transportation, access to the beaches and food. My first stop was the Folly Ruins.
Posing in front of graffiti at Folly Ruins
This was free to explore. You can read more about the story behind the Folly Ruins here.
The next place I went to was Blue Lagoon, this was also a free option. I’m not that great of a swimmer so I didn’t venture off into the approximately 200ft lagoon.

  After Blue Lagoon we went to Winnifred beach, it was my first time there and I absolutely loved it. The water was literally transparent. There was somewhere to buy food but I was saving my money for Boston jerk pork. There was also no cover charge but they asked that you contribute any amount. I did, maybe about $200.
Winnifred Beach
After Winnifred Beach we went to Boston Beach. It was my second time there. This time I decided to try the jerk pork and I fell in love. I don’t remember how much I paid for it, maybe around $600 for the quarter and I paid for some festivals. They gave and charged me for an extra one I didn’t ask for but I can’t get mad in Portland. It wasn’t enough pork but I got what I paid for, next time I’ll stop being cheap and buy more. While I’m not 100 per cent sure of the cost for everything, I know for a fact I spent less than $1000 though. To get into Boston beach, I believe was $200 JMD.
Boston beach
  St Mary
I never stopped and did anything in St.Mary in 2019 except drive through but I was there so it counts. In 2018 I went to Hamilton Mountain and the surrounding environs to help with vector control activities and lab work.
St.Ann
I went to St.Ann once in 2019 for work. I was helping with training at Shaw Park. Food and transportation was covered by the company of course so I only paid my regular fare to go home from work after we got back to Kingston. I did charter a taxi to get to the lab at 6am though but that wasn’t from my pockets either. Everything would have totalled $900.
Little photoshoot at the end of the day
I drove through St.Ann another time but that was also for work.
Trelawny
I went here for the first time. We stopped at a gas station right across the road from the sea. Really excited to come back here and find hidden gems. No one really speaks about Trelawny and what it has to offer but I’ll be figuring that out in 2020.
St. James
2019 was also the first time I went to St. James. I went maybe three times, all for work. It was also the first time I went to Montego Bay and as a Kingstonian, I think Mobay looks much better than Kingston.
Only picture I took in St.James
Transportation was covered by the company, I spent maybe $500 on some food when I was in Mobay.
Hanover 
I spent a whole lot of time in Hanover, okay I spent maybe 3 days but it was a lot of time to me. It was the first time going to Hanover and yes guys, it’s real and it’s beautiful. Hanover reminds me so much of Portland with its beauty. I went here for work and so transportation was paid for.
some interesting plants i found on the job
I wish I was able to explore the parish more but I only went from the hospital in Lucea to Cacoon Castle to help with vector control and gather things for research.
This was the view from the hospital and no this photo was not edited
We stopped for gas so I ran across the road to take a photo with the sea.
Westmoreland
I also spent a lot of time in Westmoreland for work. I mostly stayed in Negril but went to a couple other more rural places to collect data. When it rains over in the west, it pours. I learnt how to walk on steep surfaces in the pouring rain and not slide on swampy lands. Of course, transportation was paid for but I did spend some money on a box food and Popeyes in Savanna La Mar. All of that would have been maybe $1000 total.
We stayed in a quaint little resort across the road from the beach.
Pure Garden Resorts where I stayed. They’re very reasonable.
After work, I’d go over there for dinner. They’re not cheap, I bought some fried chicken strips and fries for maybe $700. I liked it so I got it the next time I was there and drank water. I save a lot of money just drinking water. The company would have helped with some of the cost of food on these trips though.
Burbon Beach
I liked Bourbon beach, not just because there was no entry free but the sunset was beautiful.
St. Elizabeth
I went to St.Elizabeth both for work and fun. While we mostly drove through St.Elizabeth I did get stranded outside Santa Cruz. Driving through St. Elizabeth to get to the rest of the west for work was always the most tiring part of the journey. It felt never ending.
A very blurry picture of me outside the “Welcome to St. Elizabeth” sign
Right at the border of Westmoreland and St.Elizabeth, you can get seafood or you can go up the road to Middle Quarter for shrimp. You’d spend no more than $1000. I spent nothing because I brought snacks and protected my pocket, even though I was travelling that time for work.
I also went to St. Elizabeth for a wedding. It was right outside Treasure Beach. I was tagging along with my mom so of course, I didn’t have to worry about transportation.
Treasure beach
It was a wedding so food and drink were covered of course.
Manchester
I spent quite a bit of time in Manchester, primarily Mandeville and Porus. This was again for work and so transportation and food was primarily taken care of. I had fun walking up the steep hills and steps in Porus and Mandeville, it was a good work out.
Clarendon
Clarendon was mostly a drive through parish for me this year but I did stop at the Juici Patties in Toll Gates a couple times for a cheese patty.
St. Catherine 
St. Catherine was another drive through parish for me. Hopefully I can explore this parish more this year.
St. Andrew
This is where I spent most of my time. I attended workshops, award ceremonies, movies, anything. You can read about it here:
I Went Out For Restaurant Week Alone and This is What Happened
A Review of Pizza Please’s Jerk Pork Alfredo Pasta
Back on the Rack Review
Review of the Healthy Hair and Beauty Expo
My Experience Attending She Speaks; A Necessary Safe Space for Women’s Voices
Review of the “Securing the Bag” Millennial Mixer
I did touristy things too like go to Devon House and explore Gordon Town for the first time.
When it comes to St.Andrew, I get most of my fun from exploring restaurants. I went to South Avenue Grill for the first time 2019 for my solo birthday dinner.
Always looking for new experiences and restaurants in this parish. St. Andrew touring isn’t really considered travelling per say so I’ll leave the budget out of this one. I should mention that I got a free movie pass from work, entry to some workshops for free and free food so I still saved money.
Kingston
Ironically, Kingston was parish 14 even though I’m so near to it. I did a couple things in Kingston like boarding the coaster to go to another parish, attending an art festival, attend workshops like
 What You Need to Know About Investment from the Adulting 101 Conference
Takeaways from the Adulting 101 Conference
What You Need to Know About IPOs
Fare to go to Kingston and get home is capped at $200 and I didn’t pay for any of the events I went to.
My favourite thing about Kingston 2019 was seeing Waterfront and the Art festival. I sampled all sorts of wine from ackee wine, to sorrel wine and passion fruit wine.
Posing with Melisa Kerr’s art Downtown
Well, there you have it, a brief synopsis of what I did in all 14 parishes this year. I didn’t spend much out of pocket which was primarily because of the nature of my job. There are ways to cheaply tour Jamaica, the places I did go for fun didn’t break the bank either. I find that carrying food cuts down on the cost. You just have to do some planning. You can check out: How to Travel in Jamaica on a Budget
How I Toured the Island in 2019 Without Breaking the Bank Hey guys, So I went at all 14 parishes, for the first time in 2019. Most of my touring was for work, I worked with a research lab for a while.

How can you defend shows like South Park?
because its not as black and white as "theyre trying to make people believe these sorts of things are okay" the reality quite literally is shock value with shows like south park, they are looking to offend you on some capacity and its been the primary goal of the show even when it was just some poorly made christmas special made to air once and only once on comedy central. in fact, south park creators matt and treys idea behind getting things through censorship is making one extremely awful joke that they are fully aware will offend people so that the other offensive things don't seem nearly as bad - while that works and it doesn't seem very ethical, it was their way of showing "hey you see these things? theyre bad and if you see people doing this stuff, know theyre bad people and feel free to treat them as shittily as possible." if you actually sit down and watch earlier seasons of both south park and family guy youll definitely see a stark different between older and newer seasons - however youll also notice that south park has always been out to show you offensive thing where as family guy was just supposed to be an easy parody of the simpsons.
anyone will tell you that family guy characters did have redeeming qualities in the beginning, they were actually slightly diverse characters rather than the unfunny, cynical cardboard cutouts they are now. however, later seasons were when things started to take a nasty turn - primarily starting with he blatant abuse and bullying of meg for no other reason than "we need to pick a character to be hated by the family how about the daughter" when that sort of dynamic was never actually in the show. both chris and meg were treated pretty much the same in early seasons (in fact, meg wasn't treated as the butt of jokes nearly as much as she is now) but as soon as they made that character dynamic shift everything started getting worse. it isn't character development its just they needed to 'spice things up' so they decided to dig more into the idea of shock value, taking notes off of south park whos main goal, again, was to shock people and offend them.
family guy could have been an endearing and enjoyable show, but seth funnymans shift in humor was to suddenly just be as offensive as possible to follow the south park formula. wanna know why? because seth doesn't know how to make anything original - his entire premise for family guy was to just copy the simpsons and when that started becoming stale he decided to steal the "be as disgusting as possible" from south park while also stroking his ego and pretending like hes making some sort of grand commentary on the world that south park OR the simpsons has already done. all of his other shows have the same formula as well, none of them actually stand out because he just chooses to not show any type of creativity - of the three hes had the only one thats even mildly enjoyable is the cleveland show and that was cancelled because nobody wants to watch his shit anymore. the only people who watch his shows anymore are frat boys and middle aged adult men while everyone else just keeps it on as background noise.
to assume a show molds you as a person and your personality is totally bogus - keep in mind a lot of people grew up watching both south park and family guy, even robot chicken, the simpsons, futurama, the boondocks, archer, frisky dingo, aqua teen hungerforce, the venture bros, squidbillies, and so many other shows with offensive and gross humor. i watched all of those shows as a kid and yes a lot of the time i was offended and i understood if other people were offended by them as well. i was also fully aware, even when i was like 13, that it wasn't okay to use those types of jokes in public. its more of an issue to do with maturity and self-awareness rather than the "snowflakes are too offended" syndrome. people lacking in self-awareness and maturity most of the time don't fucking understand why something is offensive so they assume everything MUST be offensive in some way and that theyre just being targeted for no reason. even seth funnyman has this sort of thought process because he himself cannot believe his creations are in any way untasteful.
yes im offended by a lot of the jokes and themes in shows but i still watch some of them because theres still some sort of entertainment in shows like south park. family guy, however, is on a whole different level for how mind-numbingly terrible it is. if thats the hill i die on im chill with it because i fucking hate family guy and its writers.

Choosing the right hotel, ryokan, or other place to stay in Kyoto is important—not from the perspective of having a comfortable bed and the most high-tech toilet (although having the right temperature of heated seat is important), but primarily due to location. (Last updated July 16, 2019.)
No matter how long you’re staying in Kyoto, you will not have enough time. This is something we’ve stressed in our posts about Kyoto, and it bears reiterating. There are such a high number of compelling temples, shrines, and other points of interest that it’s impossible to see it all during a single visit.
We’ve visited Kyoto multiple times over the last several years, and have stayed at several hotels, ryokan, and Airbnb rentals. In this post, we’ll make specific recommendations concerning where to stay within Kyoto, offer a few specific and generalized hotel recommendations, and offer the pros and cons of staying at a ryokan or Airbnb rental.
Let’s start with location, as this is going to be important regardless of the style of accommodations you choose. If you’re visiting Kyoto for 2 days or less, I’d recommend extending your visit. But seriously, in that case, you should determine which region of the city appeals to you most, and choose a place that is convenient to those points of interest.
In 2 days or less, you are not going to be able to see it all, so it’s best to not even try. Instead of criss-crossing the city, wasting time in the process, pinpoint an area. See as much as humanly possible in that area, and save everything else for a future trip.
In this case, my recommendation is staying near Inari (more on that below), which provides convenient access to Fushimi Inari, and relatively easy access to Higashiyama. If there are other things in Kyoto that pique your interest more, consider a different location. There aren’t any “wrong” answers here.
If you’re staying 3 days or longer, I think choosing a location near a transportation hub makes more sense, as this enables you easy access to all of the regions of Kyoto. The obvious pick here is Kyoto Station, which is Kyoto’s main artery for transportation. Not only is it easy to get anywhere in the city from here, but it’s easy to get to Osaka and Tokyo from here.
We also are really fond of staying just north of Kiyomizu-Gojo Station in the south part of Gion. We’ve done this twice now, in the exact same Airbnb, which is pictured above. We’ll likely return to this Airbnb, as it works perfectly for our needs.
For one, the Gion area is lovely, and being at its southern edge is cheaper and away from the touristy area where the hordes flock. Second, it’s convenient to the Keihan Line, which is our favorite railway line in Kyoto. Finally, it’s an easy walk to the Higashiyama District. As discussed below, we also like staying near Fushimi Inari for similar reasons.
Okay, now let’s break down the various types of places to stay, starting with hotels…
Hotels
Beyond location, one thing you have to consider with regard to hotels is whether they are Japanese or western style accommodations. While this is true no matter where you go in Japan, the two most popular tourist spots in Japan are Tokyo and Kyoto, and the former has far more western chains that offer familiar accommodations to Americans.
In Kyoto, western chains are far less common. There are a few popular hotels, such as the Hyatt Regency Kyoto (pictured above), which earns bonus points from us due to its location in Higashiyama. Another option in this same general (desirable) area is the Westin Miyaka Kyoto.
There’s also the Ritz-Carlton Kyoto in this same area, which is one of the nicest Ritz Carlton hotels in the world. If you’re a real high-roller, Four Seasons Kyoto (pictured at the top of the post) is superlative. Soon, the Park Hyatt Kyoto will open in the best location of all–the heart of Higashiyama. You can see our Park Hyatt Kyoto Photos & Preview for more info on that big addition.
Kyoto Century Hotel, or as I call it “Lamp Shrine Inn,” is one specific hotel at which we’ve stayed that really sticks out to me as being good, both in terms of location and quality (the top photo of the giant lamp is its lobby…hence the moniker). It’s about a 5-minute walk from Kyoto Station, which is about as close as you can get. Like many hotels in Japan, the exterior is fairly nondescript, but the inside is nice and the rooms are a cross between Japanese and western styles.
There are a lot of other hotels in Kyoto that offer western style rooms, and my only general advice beyond the above is to not be tempted by ones that are downtown. In Kyoto, downtown is not the best place to stay. Fortunately, most of the nice hotels that pitch themselves as downtown are actually near Kyoto Station or Higashiyama. (I think they probably realize there’s allure to “downtown” for foreign visitors.) If you’re looking for a hotel beyond what we’ve listed, just consult a map and make sure the location is good.
Ryokan
A ryokan is a traditional style of Japanese accommodation that originated during the Edo period, when such inns served wayward travelers en route from place to place. They exist today as something between a remnant and an homage to the past.
They typically feature tatami-matted rooms, traditional yukata for guests to wear, and common spaces for guests to interact with other patrons and the owner. They also sometimes (but not always) feature communal baths (the idea of this was extremely awkward to me at first, but I’ve come around). Due to the more spacious nature of the ryokan, it’s typically something you’ll only find outside of Tokyo.
Now, it wouldn’t surprise me if some of you took one look at the above photo and instantly ruled out the ryokan. Perhaps the bedding looks uncomfortable or the idea of sleeping on the floor turns you off. Or, maybe you are like me and don’t like the idea of going full frontal in front of a bunch of strangers.
Well, let me “reassure” you: the bedding is about as comfortable as a normal hotel mattress in Japan and…well, at least you won’t get hurt falling out of bed? Also, the public nudity thing is something you get over quickly once you realize no one cares about what you look like naked. (Or perhaps that’s just me…) In any case, many ryokan have private bathroom options for “shy” tourists.
In all seriousness, before you rule out the ryokan, give it serious thought and look at some of the options. We consider the ryokan to be one of the quintessential Japanese experiences, and it’s definitely worth trying to get over some of your hesitations for this. If the idea of a ryokan is a non-starter, you probably should stick to an American chain in Kyoto. Japanese preferences favor firm mattresses, and we’ve had some that make ryokan pads feel like floating in a floor-level cloud by comparison.
Machiya
Machiya are traditional wooden townhouses that are iconic to Kyoto and probably what you picture when thinking of a traditional Japanese townhome. Machiya were popular with Kyotoites in the last century, up until around the post-World War II development boom in Japan that resulted in more ugly concrete towers (to put it charitably).
Many machiya survive today, and there has been a concerted effort in recent years to restore and redevelop machiya, and even build new structures in this classic style. Machiya continue to serve as homes to Kyoto residents, while others have been converted to vacation rentals, shops, and restaurants. There’s even a Starbucks in one converted machiya!
Machiya interior design is quintessentially Japanese. Inside, you’ll find tatami mat floors, minimalist decor, fusuma doors/screens separating rooms (which sometimes serve dual purposes), and exposed wood. The design of machiya is deceptively simple, but like most Japanese design, there are many pleasing details that make the spaces lovely and inviting.
We’ve stayed in a variety of machiya throughout Japan, and highly recommend the experience. In Kyoto, most machiya are found in Gion and Higashiyama, which are great areas of the city. (You’ll also find some in Arashiyama, but we don’t recommend that part of Kyoto quite as enthusiastically.)
Best of all, you can book machiya via Airbnb or your preferred hotel booking site. In both cases, you’ll pay a bit of a premium over non-machiya accommodations, but we’d argue that it’s worth the money for the unique, distinctly Japanese experience. We’d recommend going the Airbnb route over booking a machiya hotel. Speaking of which…
Airbnb Rental
Pretty much whenever we travel internationally, we check out prices on Airbnb–particularly if we are visiting during a busier season. In Japan, we’ve visited during sakura season (cherry blossoms), fall foliage, and Golden Week, and have thus encountered high hotel prices. Instead of paying those rates, we looked to Airbnb. In case you’re unfamiliar with Airbnb, we have a post on our Disney blog that discusses our Tips for Using Airbnb and provides some general background.
We prefer Airbnb to booking hotels because it gives us the option for a much larger room, usually an entire apartment. Japanese hotel rooms (that are not Western chains) tend to be very small, and using Airbnb is the best way to avoid this issue. A lot of Airbnb flats are “ryokan style” in terms of the guest quarters, which also provides a slice of authentic culture. (If this isn’t for you, just made sure to get an Airbnb with proper beds–a variety of styles are available.)
Obviously, the lower price is the biggest selling point of Airbnb. It’s also nice that many rentals can accommodate larger parties without an extra per person charge (as is common in Japan). Plus, Airbnb hosts often include free MiFi so you can use the internet on the go. We’ve had some fun experiences staying at unique Airbnb locations throughout Japan and really cannot recommend it highly enough. You can also use my sign-up link for a free credit your first time using Airbnb!
We’ve had several excellent Airbnb experiences in Kyoto, including two month-long stays (one near Kyoto Station, the other near Fushimi Inari). For a longer trip with side trips elsewhere in the Kansai region, we’d recommend being near Kyoto Station or in Gion. For a short 2-3 day trip, the Fushimi Inari area is absolutely perfect.
I don’t like visiting Kyoto for fewer than 3 days, but if we ever have another short stay in Kyoto, I’d book the Fushimi Inari Airbnb we’ve used in the past once more. (The one we rented is pictured above. If anyone wants more info on this unit, let me know in the comments–I’ll dig up our reservation details.)
Of course, you don’t necessarily need to rent this same unit–the general location is good enough. I like this area because Kiyomizu-Gojo and Inari are both on the Keihan Line (separated by 4 stops), making it convenient to accomplish everything along the spine of the Higashiyama mountains, starting with Philosphers’ Path and ending with Kiyomizu-dera Temple. You can then do Fushimi Inari late at night, or early the next morning.
This works because Fushimi Inari is one of the few spots in Kyoto that is open 24/7. If you have limited time in Kyoto, doing Fushimi Inari early in the morning or late in the night is pretty much a must. Not only does it allow you to extend your day, but the experiences at Fushimi Inari without crowds are second to none. (We have done Fushimi Inari at sunrise and late at night many times.)
I think that about covers the pitfalls and our recommendations for where to stay in Kyoto, and which kind of accommodations might appeal most to you. I’m guessing I made the decision of where to stay in Kyoto slightly more complicated, but hopefully I didn’t overcomplicate the decision for you. I will say that some “complication” is good here, as it’s easy to make a bad choice when it comes to Kyoto (we did on our first visit!) On the plus side, it’s pretty easy to make a good decision once you have a bit more info–and hopefully this post has set you on the right path!
If you’re planning a visit to Kyoto, Japan, please check out my other posts about Kyoto for ideas of things to do (or not do) while there. Kyoto has a lot of things to see and do, so I also highly recommend the Lonely Planet Kyoto Guide to help better develop an efficient plan while there. 
Your Thoughts
Have you visited Kyoto? If so, where did you stay? Would you recommend it? Any thoughts or tips of your own to add? Questions about specific hotels, ryokan, or Airbnb rentals? If you have experience staying in Kyoto, please share in the comments–more viewpoints will help other readers! If you don’t have experience, feel free to ask any questions you might have in the comments!

I Didn’t
http://dudeblade.tumblr.com/post/163454403646/so-kob-how-exactly-did-you-debunk-my-claim
1. That was not the argument at hand in the OP: The argument was whetehr or not the shows you listed where better than RWBY.
And 2. I actually did compare RWBY to them. And I even pointed this out the last time you tried this and said how it was an example that RWBY stands up even to professional shows.
But, guess it’s easier to fight a strawman huh?
Primarily out of curiosity. To see if they still held up even after all these years, and to see how they compare to RWBY. IMPO, they are BETTER. Oh wait, that’s an opinion that makes RWBY seem mediocre in comparison, no WONDER you think that all I do is bash RWBY despite the fact that I want to love the show. It makes SO Much SENSE NOW.
No, you were talking in a very affirmative and factual way in the OP, meaning you were claiming yourself to be right. (https://knightofbalance-13.tumblr.com/post/162855264440/yes-yes-it-was)
And I realized that the show, Beast Wars, one of the very FIRST 3D Animated shows ever aired, is better than RWBY.
So no, you were not saying an opinion, you were trying to pass off an opinion as fact. As you are still doing now. And half of your argument is strawmaning me for pointing this out by twisting the facts: if you are so right, you wouldn’t need to do this.
1. So, if Cinder is supposed to be hated, why are we shown her having regrets about things? Why are we shown her to be in pain? These are things that are done to give us a reason to sympathize with a villain, but we have yet to actually be SHOWN or even TOLD what her reasons are for wanting power. She’s supposed to be sympathetic in those scenes in Vol 4, but earlier she acts like a villain who is aware that she’s evil, and is okay with that. Also, the Joker is a force of nature, no villain can top him. But Rampage utterly DEMOLISHES Cinder in the ‘motive’ department.
because she was give n some humanity, some flaws, to make her less two dimensional. By this logic, because the Joker has a tragic backstory, we are meant to feel sorry for him when that is clearly not the case.
And here’s a problem I stated in the argument: Beast Wars is finished. RWBy is not. In the future, we could very well get more information on Cinder’s motives. You can’t make judgements like these until you have all the facts: And yet you are making broad strokes about RWBY.
No...The Joker is not a “Force Of Nature” villain: Darkseid is an example of that type of villain. The Joker is the “Insane, tricky, unpredictable, chaotic trickster” type of villain. This is a problem you have here: You cannot tell the difference between two types of characters. It’s like saying Shinji Ikari is a better protagonist than Goku: they are not compatible. In fact: That in and of itself is a problem here. Rampage was built t be the “Tragic insane” character whereas Cinder is the “power hungry manipulator” villain: they are not compatible thus the argument comes down to who you like subjectively better and in an argument, that means jack shit.
And another thing: You STILL don’t explain jackshit abut your side: How does rampage crush Cinder in motive? Why does he? You can’t just claim these things as fact.
2. Beast Wars IS better. For starters, the writers NEVER withheld valuable information, and they never relied on forced humor. Not to mention the fact that the characters are fleshed out, and get more than one episode in the limelight.
Okay, so first you say that you are stating your opinion and now you are repeating what you said earlier but as fact...Dudeblade, you can’t even go a paragraph without contradicting yourself.
Okay...So? How is that bad? How is not withholding information bad in RWBY or Best Wars? in fact: How do you know withholding info wouldn’t make Beast Wars better or not make RWBY better? No explanation? FIne, your argument is invalid.
How is the humor forced or not forced? What is the tone of Beats Wars and how does it ? Any examples? No? Then I claim bias against RWBY again.
And RWBY isn’t finished: Stop making jumps in logic just to suit your narrative.
3. This is because RW/BY has a cultish following of fans who refuse to see the bad in the show. Like you. You claim that RT isn’t homophobic when they literally repeated the same unfunny “fag” joke in Camp Camp TWICE! And this is just proving my point. “If it’s professionally made, but has a lower rating on IMDb, then we can compare it to RW/BY“ - That’s you. “If it was professionally made, but has a higher rating than RW/BY, then it isn’t fair to compare the two.” - That’s also you.
And I can claim that Beast Wars has a cultist following fueled by Nostalgia and it’d hold the same weight as yours: none at all. because neither of us provide any evidence. In fact, I can say that you are biased against RWBY and then as proof point out all points in which you ignore aspects of RWBY (such as being incomplete, different types of villians and how the shows are structured) or never give examples (humor, motives, characters as well as action, vocals, audio and animation) in this very post in order to declare Beats Wars better.
I can also point out the fact that you call Camp Camp unfunny but admit to watching South Park and the SImpsons were they made those exact same jokes.
And no, I am not. As we will see latter down the line, I actually compare RWBY to higher rated shows. You are the only one who refuses to acknowledge RWBY as being professional until you can say that it is worse than something else.
Here, let me do it right now. Jimmy is the smart kid who feels like an outcast because of his intillect - Something that people can relate to because they can feel like an outcast for simply being BETTER than others at something. Carl is the kid with the medical conditions and weird obsession, which everyone has. Sheen is the guy who hero worships a fictional character, much like how you worship miles and Kerry. Cindy is the girl who is jealous that her title of “The Smartest” was toppled, and Libby has an obsession over music - something that EVERYONE has, or at least KNOWS a person who is.
Except that I don’t feel like an outcast because of my intellect, in fact, it wasn’t because I had something over other people but rather I LACKED something from them. So Jimmy would seem pretentious and entitled to me. Not everyone has a weird obsession and definitely doesn’t have medical conditions. And you missed the ACTUAL chance to be right and say “Kamina or Simon The Digger”, two characters I heavily look up to. Instead, you bring up an attack on me that makes you look like an ass.
Cindy just comes off as a brat to me because I LIKE it when someone is smarter than me: it allows me to see what I am doing wrong and improve. And Libby’s obsession with music is literally the only thing I can relate to.
See the problem Dudeblade? Not everyone THINKS your way, not everyone AGREES with you: In fact, most people don’t.
Going off of your point: I can say the same to the characters in RWBy. Everyone has been like Ruby at some point, blissfully believing in a good world. A lot of people have parental problems like Weiss (like you), a lot of people can relate to trying to fight against the world while trying to NOT become like their enemy and a lot of people can relate to Yang’s depression (as I have and I know you have.) Even if you bring up my previous point: That just means the two shows go after different things.
But if you insist on this, let me ask you: Name a trait of Jimmy’s that isn’t smart or condescending. Name a trait of Carl’s beside sick and weird. Name a trait of Sheen’s beyond stupidity and obsession. Because I can with RWBY: Ruby’s issues with dealing with the world not being what she thought it was, her eagerness to make friends and her guilt about putting people around her in danger. Weiss has her overcoming her racism, learning to put aside her grievances with Ruby to work with her and become her best friend and her admiration of her sister Winter. Blake has her cowardice, her martyr complex, her issues with Adam as well as her inability to let people help her. yang has her maturity, her depression and overcoming it, her good nature, her relationship with Ruby and her father, her duality with her mother and her tendency to be harsh towards those she cares about. You do not give an example of how they are better characters beyond being relateable which RWBY has as well.
Oh hey, look! MORE proof that IMDB ratings are all that matter. Despite the fact that you claim that LoK has an unfair advantage when it has a higher rating.
1. Because they are factual and the only place RWBY shares a page with all the examples.
And 2. I pointed out the exact same advantages that the other three had as well:
And unlike Beast Wars which is a part of an existing franchise, complete and had more professional backing: RWBY didn’t and still doesn’t. Again, while this is amazing of Beast Wars, RWBY is still factually rated higher so your opinion doesn’t hold much weight.
And this while being completed and backed by a popular network whereas, again, RWBY is NOT. SO even with all those advantages, RWBY still beats it out.
And it aired on Cartoon Network and is complete. So your statement fails.
I bring them up in BOTH sides of the coin: You only argue them when they have the higher ratings.
More proof that you only care about ratings when it comes to comparisons.
Contradicted when I demanded that you explain why it was better right BEFORE that as well as the fact that I bring up this right at the end:
And the only one I really fond impressive is Beast Wars. Storm hawks and Jimmy Neutron are both utterly crushed by RWBY in teh ratings, who doesn’t have network backing, isn’t a part of an existing franchise and isn’t complete so it can still go up.
And again: ratings are factual. You cannot make them up nor can you fake them. They are a factual way of quantifying a series' quality. You have yet to disprove that.
YOU SEE! You just proved my point. You just said that the other shows don’t matter because they got crushed by ratings, but when it’s RWBY that’s getting crushed, then it’s unfair because they had “network backing.” NEWS FLASH! - LoK got SCREWED OVER by the network. Your argument is ALREADY contradicted by actual facts.
Except that these exact points you bring up were brought up with the previous three when they had lower ratings: You are only now arguing them because you have a chance at twisting the facts.
And how was LOK screwed over? Because it got so low ratings that Nickolodean pulled it off the air? (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Trivia/TheLegendOfKorra) Wouldn’t a show getting pulled or canceled be a sign of it being bad normally unless proven otherwise, which is not the case here? Especially since TLA never did?
Again, because people like YOU keep claiming that it’s “unfair” to compare RWBY to things like LoK or SU. RWBY has the advantage of not having to deal with censors, and being able to go back to fix things they are aware would make fans confused, but they don’t take advantage of it. Which is a problem considering that you seem to ignore the fact that other shows have to deal with censors, and don’t have the luxury of being able to hire TFS or Funimation VA for one-shot characters. when SU uses a guest star, it’s for a character that is special, and is likely to return. RWBY? - “Oh hey! Let’s hire TFS voice actors for these characters” “Great, which ones?” “These guys.” “But, they’ll only be there for one episode…And they hardly have any lines.” “Exactly! We’ll get the recognition of USING TFS actors to voice characters,and NOT have to worry about paying them so much” - That? That was the (probable) thought process that went into the idea of using TFS actors. Though, it’s also my cynicism talking as well.
I claim it is unfair...then proceed to compare them to RWBY with the same standards that I did with the previous three while you refuse to argue ratings until they are higher than RWBY’s? And...so what about censors? Stuff that the censors deal with nowadays don't concern the quality of a show: Lesbians and black people do not make a good show. They are inconsequential to a show’s quality.
And that’s true...only Tara Strong, one of the most iconic voices in the business.
And a constant compliant with RWBY has always been the voice acting: So wouldn’t hiring more professional actors fix the problem? So attempting to fix a problem is bad now?
And you just admitted to having bias being prevalent in your argument: Why should anyone take what you say here seriously?
Much like how RWBY isn’t even noteworthy enough to get a review by the Nostalgia Critic despite LoK and SU doing so. And considering that you used the words “mostly just using Smash Bros brawl for acting” when you conveniently ignore the stolen assets that RWBY uses, I’m guessing you don’t even know the story at all.
... Nostalgia critic doesn’t review cartoons anymore, especially such recent ones. That's Doug Walker and those are Vlogs, personal opinion. Not factual reviews.
And that “assest stealing” has been disproven (https://lovenotefromcoco.tumblr.com/post/155633293739/slashmaiddeviantartcomartrwby-wtf-645284611). A RWBY fan would know this.
Here’s another thing: Just because RWBY is the first American-made anime DOESN’T automatically excuse any of the mistakes that it constantly makes. I know that’s a hard concept for you, but I can do this about Beast Wars and the mistakes that it made despite being one of the first 3D animated shows to ever air.
Okay...never said it did: You were just trying to devalue the accomplishments of RWBY so I showed accomplishments you couldn’t devalue.
Ahem; Tigerhawk got killed off too early, we never got to explore a whole lot on Megatron’s dragon mode, Blackarachnia whines about not being trusted too much despite having a lot more bad blood with the other Maximals, they used TIME TRAVEL as part of the plot, and Rampage’s caring nature wasn’t explored that much.
And yet you claim it to be better than RWBY when I see many of the same mistakes you claim RWBY has done in here. And when I did this in the past, you still called me a fanboy so why should this be different for you?
There, I just listed off some of the things in Beast Wars that were mistakes/irritating. But unlike RWBY, these are just mine, whereas most of the gripes about RWBY are shared by most of the rwde tag.
And are these shared by most of the RWBY tag on Tumblr, let alone circles that do not include Tumblr? Are they shared by the critics of RWBY or that one jackass FMF? No, so by your own logic, you are still wrong here.
Grow the fuck up kob. RWBY isn’t “Magically exempt from criticism” like you say. Neither are miles, Kerry, Grey, and the rest of crwby. They have to be held accountable for their bullshit excuses and mistakes, or they’ll only receive praise from the likes of you and the rest of the cultish fndm. Meaning that they’ll keep making the same mistakes over. And over. And over.
Funny you say that: I did in fact criticize RT in my Volume 4 review (https://team-crtq.tumblr.com/post/162758524659/volume-4-review). I’m not the one lying, attacking people, being hypocritical, calling someone racist in the tags for no reason other than Ad Hominin and attacking people. I’ m not the one who refuses to say anything but one side of a conversation, refuse to do the same for other shows and then calls everyone who disagrees with them a “cult.” That’s just you.
You failed in the very title of your post so I don’t know what you were expecting.

"most enjoyable swear word in your native language?" and "if you could send two things from your country into space, what would they be?" (but in a way of like, if you would introduce your country to aliens, what would you send) and "what other nation is joked about most often in your country?"
most enjoyable swear word in your native language? Rotzooi. this isn’t actually a swear word, but it is something i say a lot. and with living abroad people think it is a swear word, and i do use it as one. it literally means garbage or crap. in terms of “swearing” i basically only use rotzooi and fuck. it is just what i say whenever something goes wrong.
if you could send two things from your country into space, what would they be? this is a difficult one! definitely something about our war against the water, because i just think that is a really fascinating and cool. i think it is really something that shows of how smart people can be. i love how much land we reclaimed, and that we made a lake for safety reasons, but also that we have created specific places with the intention that they can be flooded (like a parking garage/park/mall that acts both as a dam and as an area that can be flooded instead of other parts of the country)
I love the actions about “making space for the river”, and how now with increase in sea levels, some of the more extreme people are already suggesting how maybe some parts of the country need to be given back to the sea. and how we should make the ijsselmeer (our man made lake) deeper and create extra dams. it is just so cool.
so i would probably go for information about the deltawerken/delta works (it is considered one of the seven wonders of the modern world, so go us!! it is really impressive i think), and information about the ruimte voor de rivier (space for the river) project and everything that means.
we just have so much cool stuff about water, and both reclaiming land from it, but especially in more recent times, learning to respect it and that you still have to give it space. and just learning to manage the water so you can coexist in a peaceful way. it is impressive stuff!! (my region had like nothing to do with it, because we are in no danger of water, but it is impressive and cool)
what other nation is joked about most often in your country? okay so where i am from, south limburg, we primarily joke about the hollanders (and also the rest of the country, we just tend to refer to everyone who isn’t us, as hollanders, which is a little dumb) i think it is because we are located so close to the neighbouring countries, but so far from the majority of the rest of the country. but if we had to choose one neighbour it would definitely be the belgians, and i think that is true for the entirety of the country. it just makes sense because the majority of them speak the same language, which makes it easier. plus they are very easy to make fun of. they’re a little strange sometimes, and as a group they don’t have their shit together. (they do as individuals but if you look at the country as a whole, then it is a mess)

What are the chances of me 'winning' this car insurance claim ?
Yesterday i was leaving work , driving along a road , when a young girl ( 17/18 ) drove straight out of the car park on the left and hit my nsf wheel so hard it pushed my car 5ft across the road. She said she didn't even look to see if a car was coming. She has large scuff marks on the corner of her bumper, my car has a dented wing , wrecked wheel (which is no longer pointing straight ) . This girl is on her parents insurance. Her boyfriend was on his motorbike and said to me , he didn't believe she just did that , he saw it all. My insurance company says it seems straight forward - she was totally at fault, My car is not drive able. Husband ( mechanic ) seems to think i may need a new steering rack, wishbone maybe strutt , wing , alloy wheels ....they may write my car off as its value for insurance is 1200.

How Much Would My Car Insurance Be?
I'm a 20 year old female who just got her license, so I have no driving record to speak of. I want to buy a cheap used car (somewhere south of 2 or 3 thousand dollars.) What I would really like would be an old Ford Ranger (a small pick-up truck) or a Jeep Cherokee. I know insurance definitely increases for a truck, and unfortunately, Jeeps are considered recreational vehicles (because their original use was for off-roading and such) so it would also increase my insurance. However, since I'm planning on buying an older car (like late 90s or early 2000s) I wouldn't have a car payment, only an insurance payment (and gas, of course.) So does anybody have any vague ideas of how much my insurance payment would be?? If it helps any, I'm going to be put on my parent's insurance, and my brother (who currently IS on their insurance) drives a PT Cruiser and his payment is $150 a month.

Appropriate and affordable health insurance for my autistic son?
Here is the situation: My son is seven and severely autistic. He lives with his mom (we are divorced). As part of our agreement, I take care of his health insurance and medical bills, co-pays and things related to his medical care. I pay for insurance for him thru my employer, around $280 a month, just for him. However, although it is pretty good for office visits, it is really bad for hospital. Because he is autistic, he has to be knocked out for some procedures that he wouldn't normally be knocked out for. Recently he incurred a $9000 bill, which the insurance company wont pay because he already maxed out his hospital indemnity for the year. I feel that the time has come to provide him with some sort of hospital indemnity, but I can't find any that I can actually afford. I don't make very much, I make enough to pay his regular health insurance and his child support, and the occasional doctor bill. But I don't make enough to pay the huge premiums that a regular hospital indemnity plan has. To add another wrinkle, I live in New York, he lives with his mom in Connecticut, she is the one who brings him to the doctor/hospital, I'm just the one who pays for it, which I am happy to do. But the problem is, that anything available with NY, only covers providers in NY. CT wont work with me because i do not live there. Am I screwed (as in I have to pay 900 per month in hospital insurance), or is there something I can do? By the way, I make about $36000 per year, not a lot for New York.

I'am a male student that has just finished my second year of college and have had my licence a little over a year (got my licence at 17 to get it out the way) I have never owned a car/been insured on a car and was wondering what sort of prices it would cost to get insured on a beach buggy at my age, the initial plan was for me to get something like a corsa when im 19 and try get insured on the buggy when im like 21. would anyone even insure a VW beach buggy on an 18 year old without no claims bonus? and if so how much do you think im looking at (if some answers seem reasonable i might call adrian flux to see if i can get a quote""

I'm was going to take the drivers test this friday to get my license, since i turned 16. But I found out that I have to have car insurance under my name to get my license. So my dad called his insurance guy and asked him about it, and the guy said that it would increase my dads insurance from $2500 to $4000. My dad said that he couldn't pay that much and that I couldn't get my license. Is there any other option for me? Is there any cheaper car insurance that I could use that would be less, or what if I got my own separate insurance from my dad? Would that be cheaper? I was also thinking, could I just get the insurance for the test and then take it off once the test is over? Please help! I really want to get my license!""

""Car insurance for young male drivers, its cheaper to drive without it and pay the fines!?""
I really dont get it, car insurance on a 2000 plate 1litre yaris is over 10,000 - YES 10K! I do live in manchester, which is the most costly post code to get insured in but 10k is just a joke for a 18year old. Ive done it all correct too putting 1000 annual milage e.t.c So ive read online about how much people are fined when they are found driving without insurance and its about 200 on average. I know it can go upto 5000 but thats still cheaper than shelling out for insurance and your chances of getting caught arnt really high the way i would do it. Get a car, insure my dad on the car so it doesnt flag up on the police cameras when you drive past, drive to and from work only, and say the car is parked at work (nice postcode to get insurance cheaper) over night. which i can say it is my brother takes it on his night shift there. And if i do get caught i will say i took it without owners concent. TWOC the police call it. I just cant get it into my head at why the government dont do anything about insurance it kind of pushes people into breaking the law. And i would use public transport IF it didnt take me 4hours to get to and from work a day! ""

State Farm Renters Insurance: Explain Replacement Cost Coverage to me?

Or would they give you the current cash value to buy whatever it is that you wanted to buy? 2) Are there no such policies that exists out there: a policy that would pay you what you INITIALLY paid for an item? So that one wouldn't lost out financially in the event that an item depreciates?

Earlier today at around 7pm I was in my first car accident. I just got my license a month ago and I am 16.

I was the first in my lane and some guy in a brand new mustang smashes into the back of my car ( 2003 Lexus ES 300 if that helps any ). The airbags didnt deploy but I did hit my head and my neck kind of hurts. My mom was the passenger and told me to deal with it because she just got out of the hospital. The first thing I noticed was he was exiting the maps app on his phone when he got out of the car. Maybe he was on his phone when he hit me?

Now, here are my questions. Why didnt the airbags go off if I was hit?

Getting out of a speeding ticket for insurance purposes?
Is there a way I can get out of a speeding/failure to meet at a stop sign ticket? I really don't care about paying the ticket or court costs at all, but I just can not, really, really, can not pay the extra insurance money. I am paying out of state tuition AND I am in Architecture. Architecture is SUCH an expensive major. The police officer (whose name I can't even read on the ticket because it is just a scribble) gave me a ticket for speeding and failure to stop at a stop sign. I have always been a great driver, I never speed, I always stop at stop signs, I don't drink/text/talk over the phone and drive, I always have my seatbelt on. This one time I absolutely needed to get home at 2am I decide to go a little faster and yup, of course I get a ticket. I don't want to lie, I was doing 36 on a 20 zone at the time, I admit it even though I honestly did not realize I was going at 36 I didn't' do it on purpose. I didn't think hey I'm just gonna go faster because no one is around , I really honestly did not notice I was going at 36. But I am not sure about the stop sign thing. Honestly I was not paying much attention because I drive through this stop sign everyday but I distinctly remember there was a car already at the stop sign coming from the left so I HAD to stop. There was absolutely no one else coming from any of the four sides, so I might have not stopped completely but I did slow down almost to a stop and then kept going. Then like I said I was going at 36 on a 20 zone. This was at 2 a clock in the morning when there was literally not a soul around. The police officer was practically hiding in a dark, empty parking lot and came out of no where. I really don't want to make excuses for myself. I know what I did was wrong and I'll admit it. But this is my first ticket, and I really don't want t have to pay so much more money on my insurance for a slip as small as this one. My boyfriend was with mi in the car if that means anything. I really don't know, I've never had a ticket before. I've been reading up on how to get out of a ticket, and a lot of people say it is good to talk to the officer, and I thought about doing it but the officer's name is not readable at all. He also completely misspelled my name. In Puerto Rico we use both my father's and mother's last names so I have two last names. Let's say my name is X, my father's last name is Y and my mother's is Z. In Puerto Rico it goes like X Y Z and since my license is from Puerto Rico that is how it is written in my license. But the police officer wrote X Z. So my name is wrong in the ticket. I don't know if that counts for anything, someone told me that if they misspell my name or the officer's it means the ticket is dropped. This seems unlikely but hey, like I said I really have no clue. Again, I don't want to make excuses for myself, but I just can't afford extra insurance costs. I just cant...""

I've had people pull out in front of me on more than 2 occasions and my brakes take so long for the car to stop so im really nervous when driving it. I want to trade it in and get a 2000-2005 ford expedition because its on the same platform as my dads f-150 and when I drive his truck the brakes are so much better and I have better visibilty, the expedition is also better in crashes. I know the gas is more but it only gets 2 miles less than my envoy and I only use if to drive to school and footballs games. If i were to switch cars how much would my monthly incurance be? Im 16 and im a honor student so I do get a discount with farmers insurance. Also i believe right now my envoy is pricey because its the high class edition with the heated seats and stuff so all of that makes the rate higher.

INHABIT: TODD BARCZAK AT STARDUST VIDEO AND COFFEE
Tumblr media
*This interview was transcribed and edited from an audio interview. Some colorful language was used. 
Who are you? Todd Barczak. 40 years old. I just turned 40 a few months ago … that was entertaining. I’ve been in Orlando since the seventh grade, but around here [Audubon Park] for a decade or so. Where are we currently and what’s important to you about this space?
We are at Stardust Video and Coffee. Pretty much anyone who comes here probably recognizes me as a staple [chuckles]. This is an interesting place. It’s really one of the hubs for Orlando culturally and musically. When I first started coming around before I found this whole area, I was really trying to find an alternative scene. I lived by the airport and there was just nothing there. You wanted to go out and there was a Froggers and every chain restaurant in the world. Coffee shops are Starbucks. I remember walking into Stardust for the first time and meeting Emily, who was a staple of the experience at the time. She’s gone now.

[Todd went on to tell me how he lived with Doug Rhodehamel. Doug is an awesome local artist, and the resident trash guy at Stardust — literally, his job is to take out the trash. Back in 2011 Stardust hosted a party to celebrate Doug filling up 150 dumpsters.]
Through that [living with Doug], I started meeting all these artists and getting invited to all these art shows. The music scene was a little different then, but it was still very cool. So all of the sudden it was like every freaking night there was a show at Will’s or Uncle Lou’s or someone’s house. I was cycling and the single speed scene was massive back then. So we’d be on our bikes everywhere all the time. We would do these rides from here and go up to Red Fox, back when the Red Fox was around, ride down Mills, stop and get drunk there, then ride Downtown to BBQ Bar and it became this whole thing and the more time you spent, the more you just met and realized that everyone comes through here. And you can’t say that about Wills or Indies or even Wally’s. Are there other places that you hang out in the city? Or is this pretty much it? I guess for me, a litmus test is the people around. So it’s not necessarily, is “it nice or not” or whatever. It’s like what kind of crowd am I surrounded by? The energy of the crowd and everything. And I don’t even need to interact with people. It’s just being around people. So from that context, I’ve definitely been hanging out at Guesthouse a lot. The funny thing about that is that I love everyone that works there. The bartenders and everything are awesome. Everybody is fantastic. Corey has done a great job. They all have. This was a few months ago. I was up against it for awhile. It’s too bougie, too whatever. And the crowd on certain nights is weird, but I was sitting there and it was kind of quiet and I looked around and I swear to God, almost everyone at that bar, I recognized from the Peacock days. They were sitting there and I was like “Shit, all those people were at Peacock”. So once I realized, the community had kind of embraced it that way, that’s when I was like, okay, this spot is solid.

I tried to find a little info about you online before we met up because I really don’t know anything about you, and literally all that came up was a LinkedIn page. You’ve worked as a programmer at the same company for close to 20 years now. My 20th anniversary was in February, yes. That company has changed ownership a few times. They’ve been bought out, merged, whatever. So the job itself has changed. But yeah, they hired me when I was 19. At first it was just answering phones. Then they were like, “oh, you can program.” They let me do that and the only reason I’m still there is because I show up at that office once a week, maybe. Our office is in Lake Mary and I’m like, “I could not do a job where I show up and have to sit at a desk in a cubicle for eight hours every day. It would drive me insane.” Because I can work from here, I’ll go in once in awhile. Say “hi” for a few hours, and then get the fuck out.
That’s kept me, and granted, having a salary the whole time is nice.
I wanted to ask you something else about our job. I feel like in this present day of movers and shakers and thinking it’s cool to bounce around all the time; was staying at your current company for as long as you have something that you did intentionally or was it something that just happened and suddenly over 20 years you’re still here? No, it totally just happened. They tried to fire us so many times and couldn’t justify it. It was just one of those things where every year you laugh and are like “Huh, I’m still here. This is hilarious.” I don’t even want to work in corporate America, fuck that. I would rather work independently, but I can’t say no to the job, you know? And I work with cool people. They are really cool people who I’ve known for 20 years. It’s ridiculous. The only shitty thing is that industry, the tech industry doesn’t have pension. Like if I had started in a traditional business, I’d be 40 years old and about to get retirement.

Two things I notice right off the bat with you is; First, your smile, you always have a huge smile. And second is your tattoos. What would you say makes you the happiest? I have to make that choice [happiness], otherwise I could let myself go pretty dark. I try very hard to appreciate the positive things that I see because I can choose to look at either side and I can go down either path very easily. So as much as it’s hard sometimes, I do try very hard to focus on the shit that will make me smile rather than the suffering.
Do you feel like it’s gotten harder to just get up and exist as you’ve gotten older? Yes and no. Absolutely it has because you wake up and there’s a lot more shit in your head and as much as there’s a lot more disappointment, there’s a lot more awesome shit. But it’s also one of those things where you realize, “Fuck, I have to control my own destiny.” So if I want to be happy or wake up good, I have to actually work to be good and do good shit. Like if you just sit there, like right now, I need to plan another trip somewhere. Because I’m just working (and I love doing the shit I do, but I need to have stuff going on). But that takes effort. And when I was in relationships, maybe the other person was kind of pushing for something. It will always be like “Hey, let’s plan this trip or let’s go to this show or whatever”. Operating, primarily single, it’s like, you have to do all that yourself and that takes effort. And if you don’t, its a downward spiral. What’s your favorite tattoo or your worst one? I can say honestly, I don’t have a worst one. I was very lucky. I’ve seen 3 artists who are all my friends. They are fantastic. Noah Howell did my arm. This was all stuff from my childhood. I love it. And Noah is a great friend and did a great job. Brett Barr is doing my chest and I love his work. He’s an awesome dude. But probably my favorite, no offense to Brett or Noah, is my leg that Scott Lukacs did. I wanted a very Florida tattoo. I wanted a tattoo that said I was living a large chunk of my life in Florida. And at first, because I went to high school in South Orlando, I wanted the head from Gatorland. You know at old school Gatorland, you walk into the head? And Scott’s like, “I love the idea, but I cannot do it. It will look shitty.” So I’m like, “What do you got for me?” We basically ended up doing the mural that’s on the side of Rise Above, facing Wally’s. Which invariably I spent many nights at Wally’s and walking out you see this mural and it’s fucking on my leg and it’s fantastic!
