Requested to book an apartment on Airbnb
Host accepted but shortly after that, they messaged me and said the building is doing a comprehensive plumbing maintenance and there wouldn’t be any water available for part of our stay
They reassured me that we would get a refund but didn’t actually provide one. Had to get it escalated with support, but they took care of it.
Know Airbnb gets a lot of hate on Twitter but they’ve always solved my problems when I had something come up

🇺🇸 🇷🇺 Arman Tsarukyan compares Russia and US:
"USA has better roads. But in Russia - better food, better nature, better people.
There's so much bureaucracy [in US]. You go to a doctor, they ask you to fill out pages and they ask endless questions.
In Russia restaurants are better. Here, you book a table for 5 o'clock, you come at 5, and they say you need to wait for it to be ready."

Always regret not buying more of the Cascahuin Aniversario…
Could have picked bottles straight from the distillery for 875 pesos (back then the exchange rate was more like 1:20)
Now these bottles easily go for $1,000+
The Aniversario and Cerro de Luz are definitely the best bottles they have ever produced

FlyArystan is beyond ridiculous
Tried to buy some tickets on their website and they made me do a quiz about their baggage allowances, cancellation policy, and some stupid shit to get 1000 tenge ($2) off my flight
And when you finally finish the quiz, it pushes you to book the flight on the app instead
Absolute clown show
