I think I am set up to stay in something around 120 a night. Since I have time and it is just me I bet I can beat that by half and stay in a guest houst or something.

Ouch, that's, like, ouch.
My accommodation was 200,000 won for 10 nights. (I spent the last two nights at the Sheraton.)
But, then again, I split the cost with 2 other friends.

Two of my friends (not the ones I was staying with) got piss-drunk one night and I put them up in a room with two beds and a personal shower and toilet for one night, cost 50,000 won or 25,000 won for each person.

You must've booked some fancy hotel O_O

It might be Japan, I don't know. I kind of just merge most of those countries together for convenience typically.

Last time I went on a cool trip with friends, one of them got way too drunk and disappeared for a few hours, then called us to come help him get in the room, which he was no where near. We eventually found him, in the wrong hotel, on the wrong floor, trying to get into someone's room with his driver's license, with his pockets full of like forty dollars worth of vending machine candy and soda.

So I am going over my final itenerary and notice I will be gone for like 20 days including travel time. I will actually be arriving on July 4 or right close to it as I am passing over serious time zones. I leave July 2 7 PM Central Time. Arrive in California 3 hours later and it is 8:30 Cali time. Then a layover for four hours in LA then off to Korea which I believe is an 11 plus hour flight.

I wonder if the US Military there will have anything going on or if they even celebrate July 4th in Korea... hmmmm.

If you miss home while in Korea, go to Itaewon. Lots of westerners there.
IIRC, US military isn't allowed there or sth. But I know for sure that their base used to be around there but moved because of certain incidents..

I have read a whole lot about Itaewon. One of the most popular US Expat bars is right at the Hooker Hill where the service people are banned.

The Pool at the Hotel I am staying at when I am in South Korea

The Hamilton in Itaewon

The pool is a whole seperate deal from the Hotel though it is a part of it. It is always an extra charge. In the party district :)

The pool is not just for Hotel Guests. It is part of the Hotel but even Hotel guests have to pay extra and seperate to use it. Frankly, I doubt I will even use it. Too much other stuff to do. If MTV came to Korea this is where they would probably come :)

I would rather not recommend spending extra on recreations in the hotel you're staying at. If you were to venture out a little bit, you can still play the recreations but you also get to save more of your wallet.

I agree. I doubt I will really be at my Hotel very much at all as there is so much to do in Korea and they have such an awesome Subway that can get you anywhere super fast. I hear it will be Monsoon season when I am there so lots of rain I understand. I am packing my umbrella :)

    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
