    Just FYI some of my favorite ramen is right outside one of the TeamLab locations! I ate a lot of ramen last time I was there and it was definitely some of the best, AND it happens to be vegan!...

    There's a certain irony because the fearmongering that the website is using is pretty much the same tactic I feel like Google is using for side loading lol.

    I'm an Android developer for my job and I think it's a good idea to lock out side loading for most people for 24 hours, but I kinda wish there was a more elegant solution. But honestly in a technological world where some people really don't know how to use their phones, I think it's pretty good mitigating scammers that use urgency. I do wonder what scammers would do to circumnavigate this though.

    If I didn't go with my friends that pulled me away from everything, I think i could have stayed in the same spot watching a washing machine filled with dolls for hours.

    If you liked it, I think you'd probably really like the Denver location! I was literally there like 3 days ago.

    I will say, it's not my favorite art thing in the world, but to be fair I was incredibly high for both places. It was really fascinating that way.

    If you have a moment, do you know anything about the Safari Park/resort that my co-worker mentioned to me? It seemed interesting!

    I've been to many places internationally and I think that happens to a lot of people everywhere unfortunately. I probably wouldn't generalize a whole country like that.

    Sometimes people just like things? I feel like comments like these are also LLM generated at this point.

    Similarly I learned recently that Disney also re-animated a couple of their songs to include sign language. Super cool and beautiful. https://press.disneyplus.com/news/songs-in-sign-language-to-debut

    Wait these are all amazing suggestions! I do loveeee Ghanaian food, I might just eat jollof and fufu all day every day. I usually do a bunch of museums and just general wandering, so I love all these suggestions. My team member in Ghana sent me some pictures at a safari resort he went to as well that definitely looked really cool! And of course, I definitely love the shopping experience, especially buying things that I can't normally get in the states.

    Your suggestions have definitely pushed me more into just buying the tickets to go, and I definitely would love to read about some of your favorite places!
