Whoa! Just watched the footage. I proposed to my wife at Notre Dame.

Re: The travel thread
Cathedrals are one of the few parts of organised religion that I actually like, and it's a damned shame to see one of the finest examples largely destroyed.

Anyone who's been there (not I), I'd say your goodbyes while you can. I think it's over, Johnny.

Well, except for the fact that it's only the roof that was damaged, and it's going to be restored.

I find it amusing that last year they were asking for 150 million euros in donations to fix the place, and now it's burnt down, that's at least 200 million I think I see pledged from rich peeps.

Re: The Travel Thread
Just got back from a trip to Malaysia, Borneo, Hong Kong and Dubai. I'm holidayed out.
Re: The Travel Thread
Did you enjoy Hong Kong? I really wanna go there. My girlfriend and I are thinking of going this autumn, possibly combined with some time in Vietnam.arqueturus wrote: ↑Wed Apr 17, 2019 2:30 pmJust got back from a trip to Malaysia, Borneo, Hong Kong and Dubai. I'm holidayed out.
Also: Dubrovnik. Good? Taking the GF there for her birthday. Hoping I haven't made a poor choice.

Hong Kong is amazing if a bit expensive - we were there for 5 nights but could have used so more time. The architecture of the place just blew me away.Pew-Pew wrote: ↑Wed Apr 17, 2019 5:29 pmDid you enjoy Hong Kong? I really wanna go there.

In Malaysia we went to Kuala Lumpur which was nice but then onwards to Kuching and that was fantastic - that's the one I really want to go back to.
