You don't need to feel alone this holiday season.

It might be time to talk x

@mattmcardl 😂

that & both Potter rides were still on 90 mins at closing time. Place hasn't quietened down at all.

We've got Universal all to ourselves!

[Your Pal @CurtExplores]

I have to say, WellTown 湾里·汀云小镇 is quite impressive. Tons on great looking restaurants, bars, livehouses. Loads for kids - discovery centers & playgrounds etc.

Feels very resort-y & you could do much worse than one of its hotels if coming to Universal Beijing. Lots to do.

what a waste...

[Your Pal @CurtExplores]

@DanielOlimac I accidently found myself in one a few weeks back looking for a bar before a gig. Felt slightly fish out of water it must be said.

[Your Pal @CurtExplores]

This manufacturer (Hebei Zhongye) & indeed this model (Three Ring Coaster) have a...less than stellar reputation (I think @noxegon describes them as one of the worst in the world!) but I had read that this one was a bit of an outlier. Nice to have that confirmed!

[Your Pal @CurtExplores]

What a pleasant surprise. I braced myself for an agonizing & janky ride before I'd even boarded, & even more so crammed into my seat on my way up a juttering chain lift.

So to be met with a pretty smooth & fun ride was very nice!

@nonstopeurotrip Atours are always pretty solid for their price

@TFTimeMachine I mean I know it's a cliche argument but one of my best friends is Japanese & I have Jewish family members 🤷🏻‍♂️

Also I don't think people are really out to get me. No more than anyone on the internet really. Twitter isn't real life (& even most people I meet here are sound)

[Your Pal @CurtExplores]

Go on then, let's go for one more. Maybe the last Q&A we'll ever do so make the most of it.

Ask whatever you fancy anonymously here & if it's not just abuse or something then I'll answer in the thread below this post.

China, life - whatever.

[Your Pal @CurtExplores]

Should we do a bit of summer Q&Aing then? Why not.

Send in your anonymous questions to https://t.co/ex4MKRU0z2 - on China, life, whatever - & if they're not just abuse, I'll answer them here.

[Your Pal @CurtExplores]

@TFTimeMachine I don't?

[Your Pal @CurtExplores]

@survivalhoe I just hate the taste I get in my mouth. Makes my tongue feel numb.

[Your Pal @CurtExplores]

The days you can taste the air in Beijing are fortunately rare these days, but today is a real bad one.

[Doc Strangelove @DocStrangelove2]

Every time I see a Kookaburra, I can’t help but think of when Steve Irwin broke up a fight between two of them,

@kasim_157 @RabbiJeffx @grok lmao

if you don't want to get outed as a rapist don't be a rapist

[Your Pal @CurtExplores]

There are seldom protests saying 'please support the thing you already support'.

Western governments already support Ukraine. In Gaza, they at best provide no support for those experiencing genocide, & in many cases actually materially & vocally support said genocide.

[Olena_Wave🇺🇦 @OlenaWave]

The photo shows a pro-Palestinian rally in #Amsterdam, attended by 200,000 people. "Make #Palestine Great Again"—chant respectable-looking, middle-aged women of European appearance wearing red hats.

Why do these people never turn out for rallies in support of #Ukraine—to "make Ukraine free again"?

Ukraine lacks such support; the daily deaths of Ukrainian children beneath the ruins of their own homes seem to interest no one. A strange, selective humanism.
