What's up, Sam? I'm back in Chiang Mai. Missing Europe a little bit, because you're out where in Vienna, in Austria?

I'm in Austria, yeah, yeah. Graz, actually. Never heard of it, but that's where it ended up last night.

So while Europe is missing you, I miss traveling with you. We had a very interesting trip through some countries I never thought we'd ever visit. Yeah, I did a count of how many countries I went through in the last couple of weeks, and it was something like 14, which is insane. Well, that's incredible. So you're going to be on your path to 100 pretty quickly after that little summer vacation. Yeah, and it's been fun because I did some math. And even though I spent

a ton more money traveling in Europe than I would kind of bootstrapping my normal life in Chi Mai,

all of that was paid for just

through passive income. Fancy. That's amazing, man. I'm interested in your cruise expenses because

sometimes those things can actually be very affordable if you don't go crazy once you're on the boat,

right? Yeah, and the funny thing is on the boat, people spend a lot of money. And it's because

they're trapped and there's nowhere else to buy anything. You can't price compare. You can't

go on your phone and see how much it would cost somewhere else in a store because you don't

have internet. Or if you want to pay for internet, it's $300 for a Wi-Fi package. It doesn't

make any sense. I guess it's just because you're a captive audience and there's no options. But I think the cruise lines would pull such a more professional audience. I know a lot of people that would stay months and months on cruise boats if they could get decent internet. But right now it's just it's not an option anywhere in the world that I've found. Yeah. So hopefully one of the younger cruise lines like Carnival, they might kind of get it. I know they have a $5 social media package now where pretty much 100% of people sign up for because it just gives you access to like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, which connects people enough where, you know, they're fine doing that. Then if you want to use like email and things like that, it's 10 bucks a day, which is still,

it's fine, you know, like I'll pay that.

But to pay $299 to use the internet on celebrity, it was ridiculous.

Yeah, and then you just end up at the customer service line right after the cruise is over,

complaining because even though you paid the

$300 the internet only worked like one out of 20 minutes and it's not even fast enough to

download your emails and stuff so it's just it's a nightmare surprisingly celebrity stepped

it up they actually have really good like fast service now so at least they have that part of it
