Hell he even went back to the same spots to visit and eat with the same people on Parts Unknown as he did on No Reservations.
He did do a bit more commentary on social/political issues, but I found that 99% of the time, I agreed with the guy on just about everything.
It reminds me I need to quit spending money on bullshit and get back to getting stamps on my passport. Japan, S. Korea, and Thailand are at the top of the list.
EDIT: I really regret not taking some of my severance money when I was laid off 3 years ago and not just going somewhere for a week. I came supremely close to buying a ticket to Tokyo. I shouldn't have been such a scared little bitch and just gone.
Just got back from traveling Japan (Tokyo, Osaka, Kobé) for the past couple weeks after backpacking SE Asia (Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand) and wouldn’t take it back for the world. I have less money than you for sure and still made it a priority to experience it no excuses my friend.
To a lot of you that had to fuck up a memorial thread w your gentrification woes. Let me ask you this, what would you of done if you were in our shoes? Sina (freeride) and I both grew up in a world of this bullshit and made the most of it. We flocked to where the job market is and now ya’ll blame our generation for messing it up? Do you guys just expect us to graduate with these degrees and die so you guys can grab our salaries and standard of living. We worked for it just as every other generation did, yet we get blamed for no fucking reason.
Call us hipsters or millenials, but we were born in this era and are making the most of it while respecting future and past generations. So maybe take a look in the mirror before blaming our liberal snowflake fucktard generation cuz we’re doing the best we can with what we got. /rant

+kronus for adding some perspective to these bitters. A lot of us didn’t choose to grow up in the bay area, yet we did. And with that came 1st gen immigrant parents, competitive ass schools, and high expectations. Like I said before, we milked the shit w what we had and made the most of it.

Wow, you took this personally..
And you're talking about fucking up a memorial thread, yet here you are writing paragraphs about yourself..
Also, "hipster" is not some blanket term for people in their mid twenties

That's exactly what a hipster would do...
Anyways, I'll leave this here

Kinda ironic, and they dont see it. They really are mindless idiots, but they do make some amazing food and beer. Food and beer are the only reasons to go into that shithole
