  1. Yessir. I am working over there on a 28/28 rotational gig. It’s pretty legit, I haven’t been back to the states since May. This time off I’ll be one week in Europe then three weeks in Australia / New Zealand.
  2. Hahaha. I work in Kazakhstan and these guys take this sort of shit very seriously. In March I was out there for the annual new year celebration, Nauryz. They had a best yurt contest and you could go from yurt to yurt and experience hospitality such as camels milk, horse sausage, fermented horse milk, and traditional music and dance. Really it was quite fun.
  3. Hahaha. Thanks guys for all the information. I’ll definitely check out Poechenellekelder I wouldn’t have even found that otherwise, damn what a name. Looking forward to relaxing, this will be the start of 35 days off for me after 35 days of straight work.
  4. I’ve got 4 days in Brussels an two days in Bruges with no real plans made. I’m staying in the city center of both. Considering a day trip to Antwerp to meet up with a work colleague and I got a little Portuguese chica I’m meeting up with in Brussels so that will be fun. Any good date spot recommendations for Brussels would be appreciated. Any must see things or recommendations for restaurants and beer bars? In Brussels I plan on hitting Delirium and La Mort Subite and in Bruges I’ll be hitting up De Halve Maan but aside from that I’m all ears.
  5. This feels like the wrong time in the market cycle to be buying rental houses but hey if you can find the right price/rent combination I guess no reason not to.
  6. Did they really hit it or did they store up a bunch of almost finished cars and then push them all out in one week like they have every other time they’ve celebrated a milestone?
  7. If you want aviators and don’t want to buy Luxottica I recommend Randolph Engineering, they are top notch quality and you can get them with polarized lenses.
  8. I am thinking that the withdrawal from the Iran deal may have been fully priced in already, I think there’s been a record number of long positions on crude held by hedge funds, etc for the last little while. I checked Kemp’s column today and he mentioned that with the recent highs they are starting to liquidate those positions. Commentary: Hedge funds hold fire as oil prices hit multi-year highs
  9. Dude I love me some pickled herring I would smash that
  10. Nice
  11. Yea I need to look into this a lot more, I really just did a quick google flights check. Those are some good pointers though, I didn’t realize that they have such good deals if you buy a hotel room for a few nights. I need to check that out more in the future.
  12. No my default booking class is business but I work a 28 day on 28 day off rotational schedule and I can take my travel budget and purchase any itinerary I want. Looking at trying to do Atyrau to Houston to Dallas to Bangkok to Atyrau on my travel budget and it looks doable if I drop to economy but I want to fly business 😄. I’ll spend more time fucking with it next time I’m working. I just started days off today. My travel budget is about 7k just for the record
  13. Well I haven’t booked it yet but it would be the KLM Amsterdam to Houston route. My company typically prefers booking KLM because they have an alliance agreement or something like that making it cheaper than the delta codeshare equivalent.
  14. Hmmm. Yea that makes sense, how often do flights get canceled for weather reasons? Do you have a good handle on that?
