i was in the uffizi from the opening until the closing. I was great at the end because I had the museum to myself basically. i need to edit this photo more but walking through those galleries with hardly anyone in the room was better than i could have imagined

was the tour expensive? I visited by myself and made the diligence to prepare for long days in the museum because I did not want to be on someone's schedule. as a history and art buff I can see where the jealousy comes from, my eyes dazzled in amazement.

I can't find the receipt but I don't remember it being bad - we booked a group tour which was for up to 12 - something like 20 euros each. It was in September and when we got there it was just us - so we got a personal tour. The only problem with that was that it was very intense - the guide was good but kept asking us questions, and they weren't rhetorical, she wanted us to discuss the paintings critically! "Yeah, that one is nice" wasn't enough for her - she need some analysis.

Idk how y’all do it with weather above 86 degrees Fahrenheit man, let alone 95.
I’d rather tear my other quad than 2 more days of this.

Note how it says the average weather this time would normally be around 21 Celsius/70 Fahrenheit
We’re not built for this

do not get me wrong, i somtimes believe these tour can worth your money but i just see the point. i really dislike being pressured into time schedules while traveling because in my opinion it defeats the essence of traveling

that sounds strange haha was the tour guide italian? i saw many tour guides throughout europe and they are yelling and also stressed out. from what i have seen as well, they are upset when someone does not tip them haha

I think she was German. She was really good, and we enjoyed the tour - but just not as good as the young guy we had taking us round the Uffizi when we went the year before - he was knowledgeable and interesting and pointed out the highlights, just not nearly as intense.

I feel like an old man when I hear young college students talk
Youth dialects here have a ton of anglicization. You’ll unironically hear “that’s crazy”, “damn bro”, “diabolical”, “peak”, “insane”, “guy”, constantly thrown into the middle of just speaking Dutch.

It’s not unusual to hear something like
“Damn bro, check wat die guy doet. Crazy **** man”
= Damn bro, check out what that guy’s doing. Crazy **** man.

Might as well just speak fullblown English at that point. And the constant switching is either going to be a random transition to a near flawless American accent or the worst butchering of US English pronunciation you’ve ever heard.
