Just the internet

Have you seen this. Thanks to H&M and Google we can now get an app that give clothing advises based on personality data they have from other apps. Reminds me when I was fourteen and the biggest jock (athlete) in the class had bought a pair of Dr Martens boots and everyone were like “you’re a jock you can not have Dr Martens boots”. If only he had had an app warning him. Also for me it’s a principle that Google should know everything about me. Why not let them know and decide how I dress. Then I only need an app that decide what I should do with my hair.


And tinder has a scoring system. That’s nice. Isn’t the thing that it will get hacked and then everyone will get to know what dating score you have. 

One thing that’s more closer to home for me now. The night train from Ljubljana, Slovenia to Munich, (Bavaria) Germany can’t be booked online. Not with Deutsche Bahn anyway. However with the Austrian railway one can book a night train Venice to Munich. I might travel that way just because it’s easier to book the train.

I'm so glad I am not dating during this era of apps. If anything happens to my relationship I'm going to be a hermit.

I'm glad you're still leaning towards the train.

Did you ask about how to meet people when traveling alone? Someone did recently but I don't see this in your prior posts about planning this trip. Anyway my suggestion was to eat in places where they seat you with strangers. They always do this on cruises (unless you are in a group of 6 or 8 yourselves) and it is hard to ignore other people at the same table!

I tried okcupid some years ago and got one date out of it. I have not meet anyone from Tinder.

Good idea. When I, also a few years ago, stayed in a hostel in Copenhagen they had big tables with many sets. It worked.

Gosh, I find the whole smart phone culture really annoying and creepy, but yeah, why don't they just take my money and ship some random crap over to my house, since they know I'm probably gonna like it, hah.

Yeah perhaps they could do that. Good thinking.
