Not having my passport gives me anxiety. (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Here hoping for some commiseration, if I'm being honest. Looks like travel communities on Lemmy are pretty quiet. Guess we'll see!

Yesterday I mailed in my passport for renewal. It expires in a month so it's effectively useless right now anyway, so it shouldn't matter. But I feel trapped in a way I didn't before yesterday. I hate it.

I only have a couple of friends that have traveled internationally and both of theirs have lapsed and they both have the means to travel so I'm inferring from that that it doesn't bother them in the same way.

Anyone else that does/would feel the same way?

oh yeah, I thought the US had problems back when I left 15 years ago. It's insane to be watching what's happening now from the outside.

cool, i was just in the Philippines last month.

If you find grilled balut rather than steamed, I recommend that 800%. There are a couple pictures in the travel com.

if you ever want to chat travel, I'll be here. just landed in beijing. lemmy used to be blocked here but not anymore!

It'll be my second time to the Philippines. First time in Hong Kong though.

I consider myself a fairly adventurous eater, as compared to most Americans anyway. But I admit balut is well outside my comfort zone.

I wouldn't mind getting a pulse on what traveling in Chins is like. I'll shoot you a message later!

Hong Kong is an interesting spot, I used to stay at Time Travel Hostel, an active martial arts school near Tsim Sha Tsui, so you could see lessons happening. Yea, I get that about balut. The grilled ones are more hard-boiled and have chili oil to mix in for improved taste and texture, but I totally get the general discomfort. China has become wayyy easier to travel in for non-Chinese people the past year or so, I'll probably put up a post about that soon.
