london boy

am I in my lover era? probably, but am I ashamed? no, not really. but just a warning, I won't even try to commit to posting this often. literally just a burst of inspiration (and taylor swift).

london boy by taylor swift as inspiration sirius x muggle!reader warning: prolly nothing, it's just fluff wc: 2,2k

From your very childhood up to your late teens your parents really liked bringing you to London with them from time to time. It was a truly beautiful city to be a tourist in. You’d been there so often that you felt like some sort of an expert. You could recite the history of any major landmark, just point at, say, the Tower, and one could hear a whole lecture from you about the fortress, the prison, the ravens, all the good stuff. You got cocky at times, thinking you could easily become a tour guide. Your friends back in your hometown rolled their eyes every time you even mentioned London, and the level of your excitement grew every single day throughout the month before you finally moved there.

Turned out, London wasn’t so great to live in. At least that’s what you thought on your first day, when you paid thrice the price you expected to pay for the cab taking you from the airport to the hotel. Then, the hunt for a rental began. The hotel started to get expensive day by day and soon enough you really lost your spirits. You didn’t have enough money to pay for a room and a real estate agent, so you resorted to looking through tons and tons of newspapers, hoping that an advertisement of a one-bedroom would at some point catch your eye. It wasn’t working as well as you expected, so one gloomy rainy afternoon you found yourself just walking through a random neighbourhood looking at houses and thinking that cooking some hot soup on your own stove sounded really nice at the moment. You realized that your exterior was pretty miserable for someone who couldn’t hold in an excited shriek right after buying a ticket to London last month. As if to confirm your assumptions, a sudden laughter disrupted the cacophony of raindrops hitting the ground and wind howling between the branches of nearby trees.

Oh, god.

“You aren’t from ‘round here, right?”

A motorcycle rolled from behind you along the roadway. You continued on your way, thinking it was just some creep who noticed your vulnerable state and decided to, well, be a creep.

“Hey, hey, ma’am, you don’t have an umbrella and I do. Pretty sure I win.”

“Ma’am? Really?”

You stopped at last to see who had the audacity to just ride up to you like you were their longtime friend.

“Bet that’s what you think us Brits talk like, foreign girl.”

The rider took off his helmet and you saw what was probably the best sight you had a pleasure to witness in the entirety of London. The young man was truly divine: his dark hair barely reached his shoulders and was a bit messy from the helmet; he had a stubble that was too short to be called a beard yet, but it was getting there; when he smiled, you could see small dimples forming on his cheeks. You felt stupid staring at him like that but couldn’t help it at all. With his stunning looks, the obvious accent you immediately took notice of sounded even more charming.

“Alright, not a talker, I see.”

The man stood up from his vehicle, pulled out a kickstand so that it wouldn’t just roll down the street and walked up to you, pulling up the collar of his leather jacket to shield his face from the rain.

“You said you had an umbrella.”

Kind of stupid of you to say, but you couldn’t really make up anything else that wouldn’t give out your infatuation.

“Just like that, huh? Could at least ask my name, you know.”

He didn’t wait for your response, holding his hand out to you.

“Sirius.”

You shook his hand, although yours was already pretty numb from the cold, and introduced yourself as well. You had to say something at that point because you started to look weirder and weirder by the second.

“That’s… an interesting name.”

Oh, come on. This is all you have?

“Bit rude, darling. What did you think it was?”

“Like… Matthew?”

The man laughed, just like you heard him laughing minutes ago. He wasn’t taunting you, no, on the contrary – he was rather amused by your mild naivety.

“Oh shit, do I look like a Matthew? I’m gutted, I have to say.”

You couldn’t help chuckling at his words. The rain didn’t feel so bad anymore, now that you had someone to share it with.

“Hop on. I have to get you to a pub, or else you’ll turn into a bloody icicle.”

He helped you get on his bike and soon you were riding straight through the streets of London with your hands wrapped around Sirius’ body. You felt it was a wee bit inappropriate for someone you met, like, five minutes ago, but you couldn’t say you didn’t like it. What is more, you expected raindrops to become some small annoying mosquitoes who would relentlessly bite your face during the ride but surprisingly, it didn’t happen. It almost felt like you actually had an invisible umbrella above you, because you glanced at a sleeve of your coat and it had become much drier than it was before.

The pub Sirius took you to looked like one of those places you saw on TV when the setting was supposed to be the UK. Lots of wooden furniture around, lightbulbs hanging from the ceiling and emitting warm and rather dim light. In the corner you saw an old record player with a small TV on top of it. You saw it as a symbol of modernity overtaking the old school, which epitomized London itself, but decided not to voice your thoughts in order not to appear as a nerd.

“Fancy a beer?” Sirius asked, leading you to a large counter.

In your mind you would much prefer some tea to warm yourself up, but the stranger was already too kind for you to make any extra demands of him. So, you just nodded and let him have free reign over the type of beer for you.

“We come here with my mates sometimes,” Sirius explained, having made an order while you made yourself comfortable on a bar stool.

“That’s nice.” You felt a bit awkward and out of place, but Sirius didn’t seem like the shady type, so you felt more comfortable with him than you would have likely felt with anyone else. “Do you watch rugby here?” You gestured towards the TV.

 “I mean, if it’s on…” Sirius tried but failed to hide a chuckle. “That’s what the rest of the world thinks of us English lads, huh? That we hang at pubs and watch rugby all day?”

“To be fair, you took me to a pub.” You felt slightly embarrassed but attempted not to show it.

“That much’s true.”

You took a small sip out of a glass mug of beer placed in front of you. It wasn’t that bad, to be honest – a bit too bitter for your personal taste, but you could see yourself finishing the whole thing.

“Is this a British thing, beer in the afternoon?” you asked, looking at a huge grandfather clock behind the bar and remembering that it was, in fact, only midday.

“I guess, but I’ve always thought of it as a me thing.”

You held your mug in front of your face so that Sirius wouldn’t notice a huge smile forming on your face. You found everything about him irresistibly attractive – his voice, his mannerisms, his whole presence was alluring in a very authentic kind of way. It was obvious that in front of you he wasn’t pretending, he was just being himself.

“How did you know I wasn’t from here?” You finally had the courage to ask the question that had been pestering you for a while.

“Oh, it’s obvious,” Sirius replied, taking a swig of his beer. “You can always tell, it’s just how us Londoners are wired.”

You couldn’t really retort.

“Are you on holiday, or…?” Sirius went silent, letting you fill in the gap.

“I moved here a week ago,” you explained, feeling a very annoyed expression taking over your face. “Been trying to find an apartment but no luck so far.”

Sirius frowned a bit, thinking about something.

“I reckon I could help you, darling,” he finally told you with a playful smirk on his face. “I’d have to ask you for something in return though.”

“Oh, sure, I’ll pay!”

And you were ready to, because you had heard from someone that word of mouth was actually the best way to find an apartment on a budget these days. It’s just that you didn’t have this mouth before.

Sirius just grinned in response.

“Hey, that’s on me.”

He stopped your hand as it was reaching into your purse to take out your wallet and pay for your beer.

“Really?”

“Well, I dragged you here, so it’s only fair.”

Afterwards you stepped out of the pub to see daylight again. Fortunately, you discovered that it stopped raining and the sky was of a much lighter gray than before. Sirius caught up to you and stretched out his arm, wrapping it around your shoulder. You didn’t mind at all but were still quite stunned because, well, a teenager in you woke up and started internally screaming from this handsome stranger’s closeness.

“A nice weather we have here, darling. Which is super convenient as I don’t prefer driving drunk.”

Sirius looked like someone who would gladly drive drunk, you thought, but instead simply asked about the bike.

“A friend will take it,” he gave you a rather nonchalant reply, already headed somewhere to your left, with your hand now in his. “Come on, London doesn’t wait.”

“What if I have plans?” you tried to retort but your feet still carried you after Sirius and you weren’t going to stop them.

“Really? You just moved here, can’t find a flat and you have plans? Don’t believe it.” Sirius didn’t leave any room for objections as he was absolutely right. “Come o-o-on, darling, I know you want it.”

And for god’s sake, you did.

—

“So… Is this the part of the day when we say goodbye?”

All of a sudden you felt a wave of sadness coming over you. This day turned out to be truly magical and the last thing you wished for was for it to end. Sirius showed you everything, and you meant everything. He had his ways around the city that you would never even think to take, but they worked wonders, almost like some kind of portals transporting you from one place to another (but of course, it was just Sirius). Soon you could take pride in having explored pretty much all the central boroughs from inside and out. You, once again, had a very tourist-y experience of eating fish and chips in Hyde Park, and Sirius showed you an amazing little Chinese place where you promptly had dinner. You couldn’t have been thankful enough when he told you he would take it upon himself to look for an apartment – sorry, a flat – for you, but when you tried to give him some cash, he adamantly refused, so you were left wondering what he meant when he said he would ask for something in return. But most of all, you couldn’t really understand why he would do anything for you at all.

“I guess it is…” you mumbled, wishing with your whole heart you were wrong. But it was late, the sun hid behind the horizon hours ago and your eyes became increasingly more and more itchy.

“Well, we’re meeting tomorrow, so… Not so bad, huh?”

Sirius didn’t seem tired in the slightest, so you decided to just fire away and ask the question that had been swirling in your mind for the whole day.

“Why are you doing all this?”

“What do you mean?” Sirius raised his eyebrow and, judging by the look on his face, thought you were making a joke.

“I mean, you saw me on the street and just… took me under your wing, I guess. I wouldn’t have all this experience without you, London boy. And this apartment thing… It’s too generous. You don’t have to.”

“I know I don’t have to.” Sirius had the widest smile on his face. It was captivating and you didn’t even notice how you started smiling yourself. “But I want to, that’s it, darling. I really, really want to.”

His hands kept yours warm while he spoke. You had a sudden urge to do something you might or might not have regretted in the future. You stepped closer to Sirius, getting up on your toes and pecking his cheek ever so slightly, as if you were afraid to scare him away. Then you leaned away, staring at his face with worry in your eyes. Sirius slowly ran his fingers along his skin, where your lips just were, like he couldn’t believe what happened. Then, much to your surprise, he got closer and before you could realize it, your lips met his. They were a bit chapped, but the pleasure they brought you couldn’t have possibly belonged on planet Earth.

“I fancy you, foreign girl.”

Sirius pulled back and looked deep into your eyes. His gaze was so tender that you understood that from now on, London wouldn’t be such a bad place to live.

DE2 VR

I've been playing with an idea for a DE sequel for a while I've been calling Video Revachol. just for fun, don't jump up my ass about any of this.

Disco = to learn and Disco Elysium = To Learn Elysium. Video = to see, so Video Revachol = To See Revachol; the story would involve tracking down Harry all over Revachol, starting at the Video Revachol rental store he kept having nightmares about.

here's more

A week after the Hanged Man case, Harry goes missing. You play as Kim, and the game kicks off with Jean visiting P57 to ask if you have any idea where Harry could have gone since you were the last person to spend any significant time with him in his new post-amnesia state.

This solves an issue I've had with the idea of a Harry POV DE sequel, that would have to pick a "canon" ending from DE to spring off of. Jean will interview Kim for details on how Harry was acting and you can describe any kind of Harry you played (or make one up wholesale), explaining to Jean what he was worked up about politically, whether he was sober or not, how well he did his job etc etc. Basically a more detailed version of Kim's assessment at the end of DE but the player is the one dictating it. This impacts what Harry is doing while MIA.

Regardless of the Harry you describe, Jean recruits Kim to help him search for him because a missing police officer is a huge deal, esp one as unstable and erratic as du Bois. Just like Kim does in DE, Jean can suggest where to go next and discuss the case with you as your partner. He obviously has a lot of insight into how Harry thinks, but you aren't dealing with quite the same Harry he's used to.

See this post for an explanation on the modified clothing mechanics Kim and Jean have. They don't steal clothes like Harry does, so you're limited to clothes they already have or can get thru legitimate means. Kim can mod some clothes he finds if they aren't too dirty or stupid looking.

The plot follows a search that goes all over Revachol, starting at Video Revachol and Harry's nearby apartment and then going from there.

Kim has his own set of skills and thought projects, but you aren't starting with a clean slate like Harry. Instead of amnesia, Kim's got a lot of repression and mental blocks compartmentalizing things that will take time to open up. One of the big ones is what happened to his old partner, Eyes.

Dominic "Eyes" Aguilar was Kim's satellite officer. The two of them were close, and it is very vague initially what happened to him. Kim *refuses* to dwell on it, and you'll need to complete a few mental exercises to even let him meditate on the subject. There are hints that Eyes might have been killed, others that he died of an overdose, or that he just quit or was fired. This is a parallel to Harry and Dora, but different because whatever happened to Dom happened very recently. Kim has not been dealing with it in a healthy way. Lots of phantom Doms crop up visually and as auditory hallucinations; his absence is fresh and Kim hasn't adjusted to it.

This affects his dynamic with Jean, a recently orphaned satellite officer. Kim tries to keep him at arm's length emotionally and you can do that successfully, or you can let Kim open up to him. I like the idea of it mirroring the "gruff older man adopts a lost child" trope that was popular in the 2010s, but the lost child is a 34 yr old cop with depression and anger issues.

Other story beats I keep thinking about:

At some point the Kineema is taken out of commission (either damaged or Kim's captain rescinds authorization to use it for some reason), so they take Harry's old motorcycle with a sidecar, inspired by this one sketch by DE's art director. Kim is a huge fan, and Jean... isn't.

When unable to tag along with Kim, Jean has a cop horse he rides around. This way he can leave the scene for various reasons without taking Kim's transport option away. Her name is something stupid like Pookie or Cookie and Jean loves her even tho she's mean. Kim does not like horses and will not attempt to ride her even if prompted.

What happened to Harry is determined by the description you give of him in the beginning. It all has something to do with the Shivers visions telling him about the very terrible thing that's going to happen to Revachol if he doesn't stop it (or, if you described a particular type of Harry, he might be trying to expedite it in a way where he'll come out with some power over what's left)

Kim has a decomptage but it's in disarray after losing Eyes. His team is also majority young women, which gets him some comments. If you eavesdrop/EDC some of his team you find out there's a whisper network among women in the RCM, and Kim's considered a good guy to work for because, quote, "He won't call you with a love confession at 3 am like the other bellends here". This can cause some conflict for Kim because obviously he wants to be a safe mentor for these officers, but female officers trying to join his team has caused some unneeded scrutiny towards him from the other men at P57. You gonna keep up the feminist thing even if it alienates you from 80% of your blue brothers? huh??

Kim's entire relationship with the RCM is framed like an abusive one. The more Kim leans into the cop identity, the more power he feels but the more paranoid and jumpy he gets. A LOT of his fellow officers treat him like shit and you can even get Kim fixated on the idea that some of his team want him dead and out of the way.

like. fucking obviously i want kim and jean to flirt. It becomes very clear that Jean's lonely and misses Harry, so he tries to get Kim to bond with him. You can shut him down or open up-- this is tied to progress on any of the thought projects/compartmentalization deconstruction relating to Eyes. Kim won't let himself get close to Jean without processing some of that grief.

CHAPTER 1: THE RENTAL MISTAKE

Chapter 2 Chapter 3 chapter 4 Chapter 5

The chapter are short in this five chapter story about a rental mix up that could end up benefitting both parties. Characters include AU Bill Skarsgard and my original character Sammatha. It is mostly whimsical with a little blood and sex towards the end. A bit of orgasm denial and oral on female. Enjoy.

Sammatha got into town at 10pm. A storm was raging making it difficult to see the house numbers. This was the first time she ever rented a house. She usually stayed at a swanky hotel that had her favorite morning café and at least one restaurant and pool along with shopping opportunities and transportation to the closest fun activity. Or she would just walk to wherever she wanted to go. But she did not plan far enough. All hotels in the area were booked. That is why she was driving in this storm to find a small cozy home she would make hers for the long weekend.  

The small house had a reservation left because it was only for one or two people. In the picture it looked like a fairytale cottage. A peaked roof. Stone walls. And huge front window at the entrance that looked on to a porch that had a comfortable looking swing. She imagined herself having her coffee there ever morning looking out at the nearby lake.  

Inside it had all she could need and more. The photos showed an off-white sofa with a multicolored blanket flung over it, an armchair that tilted back and a 40-inch television with basic cable included. The kitchen was laid out with all modern appliances and coffee pods stocked for a few days. The add suggested getting groceries delivered from insta-cart. All pans, plates, cooking utensils and silverware were included.

Another photo showed the bedroom with a king-sized bed, dresser, and closet, Tthe bed was raised so there was storage underneath. The bathroom was in a hall that was between the living room and bedroom. It was basic with a sink, toilet and standalone shower that hand a rain type shower head that could be dethatched.

There was a door off the kitchen that led to the back yard. There was a pool with a slide. A few chairs for sunbathing and a grill. It looked very refreshing and private since it was surrounded by a shrub covered fence. It really seemed like the perfect place for her to unwind.

But as Samantha was driving through what seemed like the storm of the century looking for the small house, she was fanatic. She needed to get out of the weather. She could barely see to drive. Then a light caught her eye. Under the light was the number 336. It was just the number she was looking for. She pulled in the driveway into a covered garage. A light came on automatically when she opened the door to get out. A motorcycle was also parked there. She thought nothing of it. It could have been the owner's extra ride.  

She still had to run from the garage to the front door to get inside. She grabbed her overnight bag to make the mad dash. The rest of her things could wait until the morning. She was drenched by the time she got to the door. she looked for a key in the mailbox attached to the house. There was nothing. Tears started to come because she was shivering cold, wet, and tired. She decided to try the door. She had never rented a house so maybe the keys were on kitchen table. The door was unlocked so she went straight inside.

She only glanced around a second before making a Bline to the bathroom. She just wanted a hot shower and her warm pjs. The shower was just as great as it looked in the photos. The water cascaded over her hot to warm her body. It also calmed her down. The weather was supposed to be better the rest of her trip. She was looking forward to some sunshine after what she had to drive through to get her.

She decided a cup of warm milk or tea would be nice before she turned in. She scampered to the kitchen. When she opened the refrigerator, she did not expect much. But it was stalked with milk, eggs, some beer, she had not heard of, wine bottles, steaks, chicken, and some condiments. It was more than she ever expected. The note on the website did say there were some things to last a few days, but she did not expect this much. She got out the milk. Then reached up for a microwavable mug. She warmed her milk. The microwave ding resonated throughout the house. She sat on the couch sipping her warm milk. Her back towards the hallway.

Bill’s eyes flew open when he heard the ding. He was a light sleeper who had a fan going to drowned out any small noises, but a ding of the microwave woke him from a sound sleep. He was just there to get away from the city.  

The nice lake that he could kayak on was inviting when he saw the listing. Walking trails nearby would put him back in touch with nature. He would wear his blue baseball cap with the darker sunglasses so maybe he would not be recognized. Maybe even lounge naked by the pool since there looked to be a high covered fence around it.  

When he was in the US, he usually could not do such a thing because photos were always taken of him. Sometimes at very awkward moments like adjusting his fly coming out of a hotel. Someone in the hotel always leaked he was there and got a pretty penny for doing it. That is why he chose this small cottage away from prying eyes.

But now his eyes were wide open. He swore he heard a padder of footsteps in the main room. He slowly got up. Then listened again. There was nothing but silence. He slid on his shorts and went into the bathroom. A pink and  black polka doted bag was tossed on the floor. He stared at it a moment before his bladder insisted, he pee before checking out whow was in this rental home with him.

Sammatha was startled by the sound of another person coming from the back hallway. She stared into the darkness before taking a deep breath. She did not know if she could grab a knife before they made it to the living room. If it was a homeless person that found the door open, she did not want to harm him. But was not sharing this space with a stranger. That was for sure.

Bill appeared out of the dark hallway. Both surprised to see the other. In unison they screamed “What are you doing here!”

10 Essential Travel Tips for India: Insights from New Delhi Arrival

            Here I have created a list of 10 tips extracted from the article -A Journey Through New Delhi's Heat and Hospitality.       1. Activate Local Services Early: If purchasing local SIM cards upon arrival, be prepared for activation delays. Ensure you have alternative means of communication until the cards become active. In my case, the card wasn't active until the next day, so be prepared to have a second option outside of the internet. Such as a notebook to plan your days in writing and get an idea of where you're going, how you're going, and what you're doing that day.   2. Beware of Unexpected Charges: When using international services like SIM CARD from Your own country, be cautious of potential high charges. Familiarize yourself with international roaming rates or opt for Wi-Fi connections where available. If you use a card from your country, you will have to pay a substantial amount, depending on the settings made with your phone company. Sometimes, you won't be able to activate the internet if the settings have been made to not allow internet access outside the country where you bought the card, meaning the country you come from.   3. Prepare for the Climate: Be mentally and physically prepared for the intense heat and dust of India, especially upon arrival. Dress appropriately and stay hydrated to cope with the weather conditions. It is necessary to know that some people accommodate with the climate very hard. When you accommodate with the climate very hard, you will have the option to choose to travel in the morning or evening to escape the heat of midday.   4. Navigate Wisely: Due to potential language barriers and misinformation, verify directions from multiple sources before relying on them. Consider using reliable navigation apps or maps to navigate unfamiliar surroundings. Sometimes the internet or the navigation system can't help you get where you want to go, but if you have a bit of experience, you know that it takes you nearby. Read the details correctly as you will encounter many problems because of that.   5. Be Vigilant with Transportation: Exercise caution when accepting transportation offers, especially from persistent tuk-tuk drivers. Negotiate prices beforehand and be wary of inflated rates. Don't accept the first transport ever, refuse it then take another round and choose another and negotiate the price.   6. Consider Walking: If distances are short and feasible, consider walking to your destination instead of relying on local transportation. Walking not only saves money but also allows you to experience the local ambiance firsthand. If you have time and you like to spend the first hours on your feet in India, you can walk if the hotel is close and you don't have much luggage. I have said I advise you not to take much luggage.   7. Arrive at Agreed Upon Times: When coordinating with service providers, such as motorcycle rentals, strive to arrive at the agreed-upon times to avoid inconveniences or delays. If you plan meetings with different people for certain services, I advise you to put an hour extra all the time because due to traffic or minor problems you will arrive late for the meeting.   8. Utilize Local Assistance: Don't hesitate to seek assistance from locals or service providers when navigating unfamiliar environments. They can provide valuable insights and assistance, especially in bustling areas. Try to ask for help from those around you if you think it will help you. I can say that most try to help you but sometimes they give you wrong details because they don't understand what you want to find, but they will help you by giving you details about what they know.   9. Stay Flexible: Embrace the unpredictability and adaptability required when traveling in new environments. Stay flexible with your plans and be open to unexpected detours or changes. If you see that you have problems like these: You can't find transport, hotel, you don't have a signal, you don't have internet, you can't meet those you plan to meet, and you find yourself in the middle of the street where you don't even know where you are, stay calm and go to the shade and try to use what you have at your fingertips to solve your problem. (here I have a lot more to add)   10. Document Your Experience: Consider documenting your travel experiences through videos, photos, or journaling. Not only does it create lasting memories, but it also allows you to share your journey with others and reflect on your experiences. Take photos and videos to remind you of all the moments as they were.   I hope it helps you. If you have any questions, please add them in the comments, and I'll gladly assist you.

Akureyri and Northern Iceland

Today’s Destination is: Akureyri and Northern Iceland

Today’s Misstep- My hostel was self-service, and someone was in my bed.

Travel Advice: Be on time if you are on a tour.

  FAQ: How do I navigate the city bus system when I don’t speak the language?

  Response: I traveled around the world for 90 days, and most of the time, I did not speak the language of that country. I had some challenges riding the bus in some cities; for example, Reykjavik, Iceland, was a minor disaster. You can use travel apps like Rome to Rio for bus or train travel guidance. You'll be able to get to the station early so that you can ask other people about the timing of the bus. In Goa, India, I waited at an unmarked bus station, but it never came, so I took a chance with a motorcycle taxi. Later that day, I waited at another bus station and was unsure where the bus would go, left or right. No one spoke my language. I finally got on my first of 4 buses to my destination. In hindsight, a taxi would have been a better option had one been available. Most of the time, you will get on the right bus, and you will be able to get to your destination. If you’re not in a hurry, even better. Enjoy the experience and travel light.

Today’s destination: Akureyri and Northern Iceland

  On my around-the-world trip, I had planned to drive the Ring Road in Iceland for 7 days, the final destination on a 90-day adventure. After many months of planning and reserving a car rental, I canceled with about 2 weeks' notice and decided to fly to the northern part of Iceland for a 4-day trip instead.

  I bought a round-trip ticket to Akureyri, and the airport to get there was tiny, so small that there was no security screening for passengers. There were about 40 people on the plane.

  Once I landed, I discovered there was no bus service to town, as it was not profitable. I hitched a ride to the cruise ship terminal with some airline pilots from Denmark who were with Viking Cruises whom I met on the plane. The terminal for boats was much busier than the one for planes. Five colossal cruise ships—mega-ships—were docked in town. I met a cruise ship passenger, Kelly, from Long Beach, California, sitting on a bench. She was retired, single, and had no kids. She broke her ankle, and walking the stairs is challenging for her now. She was sweet to meet.

  The town has only 20,000 residents.

  When the cruise ships left town, the city became peaceful and relaxed. 

  What did I do those days? It was a great adventure, as I had booked a hostel near a bus stop and Netto grocery store. I took a day trip to Lake Myvatn, the fourth-largest lake in the country. We saw the Godafoss, the waterfall of the Gods. I explored some caves and volcanic areas from afar. While there, I witnessed a long-distance run of 100 kilometers. The run starts at midnight, and I could watch the runners up close and even be at the finish line for several of them. How exciting. I also enjoyed the public pools with the locals every day I could. I felt like a local and explored the hikes and neighborhoods on the city bus. 

https://www.visitakureyri.is/en/see-and-do/events-festivals/sulur-vertical

Today’s Misstep: My hostel was self-service, and someone was in my bed.

In other words, there were no administrative people there at all.

When I arrived, someone was sleeping in my bed. That was disturbing because there was no one to ask for help. The person was sound asleep and sick, and they would not move to another bed. I had five other roommates, but I did not want to take one of their bunks. So, I went swimming in a nearby hot tub instead and relaxed.

That night, I sorted it all out. The other roommates, who were from Germany and China, were kind and friendly, which made it all worth it.

Today’s Travel Advice- If on a tour, be on time.

  You may need to hitchhike if you miss your guided bus tour, so don’t be late. The driver may need to pick up passengers at another stop or drop off others. You can’t keep them waiting, so synch your alarm to return to the tour when needed.

Tagaytay, situated south of Manila on the Philippine island of Luzon, is a well-loved vacation destination celebrated for its temperate climate. Perched on a ridge overlooking Taal Volcano Island—a live volcano encircled by Taal Lake—the city boasts captivating views. People’s Park in the Sky, located atop this vantage point, occupies the site of an incomplete presidential mansion. Additionally, Picnic Grove offers recreational opportunities with hiking trails and an exhilarating zip line experience.  It is approximately 60 kilometers away from Manila, the Philippines' capital city. Tagaytay has become one of the most popular tourist destinations in the Philippines due to its high elevation, cool climate, and stunning views of Taal Lake and Volcano. This being said, Tagaytay is considered to be the second Summer capital of the Philippines with the first being Baguio due to its cool climate thus is a favored destination from those relatively more humid areas of the Philippines.

One unexpected adventure unfolded during the final week of August when my girlfriend and I embarked on a brief outing in the Litex area to find a ball gown rental for her upcoming debut party. The boutiques and rental shops were conveniently clustered together, offering a vast array of gown options.

Shortly thereafter, her mom redirected us from Litex to Katipunan Avenue, where her uncle resides. We enjoyed some snacks before her mom and dad spontaneously invited us for a motorcycle journey to Tagaytay City. As the late afternoon descended, we joined her uncle, his wife, and her parents for the ride.

Exiting Metro Manila during rush hour was challenging, with heavy traffic slowing our progress. By around 8 pm, we arrived in Silang, Cavite, and instantly noticed a change in the atmosphere. The air turned cooler, carrying the aroma of pine trees as we wound through the zigzagging roads toward Tagaytay City.

This marked my first out-of-town motorcycle journey, intensifying the thrill of the adventure. Upon arrival at the Mahogany Market, we savored a delightful dinner featuring the famous bulalo and a platter of tawilis—a local delicacy of Tagaytay.

As the night grew late, my girlfriend's mom arranged for us to stay at a nearby resort, providing an opportunity for family bonding and relaxation.

The following morning at 7 am, we prepared to return to Manila after a quick coffee. Hoping to avoid the Saturday morning rush, we journeyed back safely, arriving home with fond memories of an unforgettable escapade.

Getting Your Motorcycle Class 2B Licence in Singapore- Course, COE and Motorcycle Rentals

Obtaining a motorcycle Class 2B licence in Singapore isn't just about learning to ride; it's a journey that requires dedication and careful planning. If you're considering taking up motorcycling as a more affordable means of transport or simply for the thrill of the open road, there are several key steps and considerations you'll need to navigate. Let's delve into what you need to know to kickstart your motorcycle journey in Singapore.

Getting Your Motorcycle Class 2B Licence in Singapore

1. Learning to Ride

When it comes to acquiring a motorcycle licence in Singapore, your primary avenue is through one of the designated driving schools:

Bukit Batok Driving Centre (Bukit Gombak)

ComfortDelGro Driving Centre (Ubi)

Singapore Safety Driving Centre (Woodlands)

Unlike car licences where private instructors are an option, motorcycle training is centralized through these schools. The curriculum for a Class 2B licence covers theory and practical components, ranging from basic riding theory to navigating obstacle courses and road riding.

2. Class 2B Syllabus

The Class 2B licence permits riding bikes up to 200cc. The training process typically includes:

Theory Lessons: Basic Theory Test (BTT) and Riding Theory Test (RTT).

Practical Lessons: Circuit-based training (e.g., slalom, figure 8) followed by road riding.

Expect a structured progression through the syllabus, with the need for repetition if certain skills aren't mastered initially. Passing the Basic Theory Test is a prerequisite for obtaining a Provisional Driving Licence (PDL), which is essential for road riding.

3. Class Progression

After a year with a Class 2B licence, you can upgrade to Class 2A (up to 400cc) and subsequently to Class 2 (unlimited cc). The progression becomes easier and quicker as you gain experience.

4. Cost Considerations

The cost of obtaining a Class 2B licence ranges from $900 to $1,000 on average, factoring in theory lessons, practical sessions, and test fees. Each driving school has a similar cost structure, with the total amount depending on how quickly you progress through the lessons.

Motorcycle COE Price

1. Understanding COE

Motorcycle Certificate of Entitlement (COE) prices significantly impact overall motorcycle costs. As of recent years, COE prices for motorcycles have soared, surpassing $10,000, making new bike purchases considerably pricier.

2. Cost Comparison

Despite high COE prices, motorcycles remain a more economical transport option compared to cars, where COEs for category A (cars) can exceed $100,000.

Popular Motorcycles in Singapore

For new riders, popular bike models in Singapore span Yamaha, Honda, Suzuki, and more. Second-hand options provide affordability, with prices varying based on COE tenure and bike condition.

Where to Buy Motorcycles

Whether opting for new or used bikes, several reputable dealers and platforms exist in Singapore, offering a range of models to suit different preferences and budgets.

Second-Hand Motorcycle Tips

Buying a second-hand bike requires diligence:

Check COE Duration: Ensure sufficient COE tenure remains.

Inspect Bike Condition: Test acceleration, brakes, and other critical components.

Negotiate: Prices are often negotiable; don't hesitate to bargain.

Arrange Insurance: Secure insurance before riding off with your new bike.

Motorcycle Rental

For those hesitant about committing to bike ownership, rental services provide an opportunity to gain riding experience without the long-term commitment. Prices vary based on rental duration and bike model.

You can search for "near me bike rental shop" to find out the best motorcycle for rent in Singapore.

Conclusion

Obtaining a motorcycle licence in Singapore involves a comprehensive process, from structured training to navigating COE prices and purchasing the right bike. Whether you're a seasoned rider or embarking on your motorcycle journey for the first time, understanding these key aspects will set you on the right path towards earning your Class 2B licence and hitting the road confidently.
