The sunrise illuminated the face of the statue of Ramesses II in Egypt’s Abu Simbel temple on Thursday, something which happens only twice a year. Hundreds of tourists from different parts of the world came to witness the event.

    How is the way other people experience their lives infuriating? It’s no skin off your back

        The more I travel the more I realize that people travel for different reasons and a lot do it as a thing to check off the list and show off to the people back home.

          Sure seems that way.

          The last time I visited MOMA there was a crowd taking pictures and videos with their phones in front of Starry Night, and I honestly wanted to ninja kick every one of them.

            When I went to The Louvre, I took a picture of the Mona Lisa, with my phone, through the viewfinder of another person’s camera.

            Tbh I’m kinda proud of that shot, even if I can’t find it anymore.

      I dunno if I’d call it infuriating, but more like disappointing. Or some better word to describe the feeling I get when people are living their lives in the clouds instead of with both feet on the ground.
