Do we sound like this sometimes...Embrace the culture! LOL

My daughter sent me this link, because...well, it helps me to laugh at myself perhaps. I thought it was hysterical. It makes me think of so many discussions we have: wheels/no wheels, money belt/no money belt, Europe/elsewhere, tours/independent...much of it based on our egos on certain days. For a few, it is always about the ego.

Who does it better?

Anyway, I thought this was very funny. When do we cross the line and end up acting like one of these women (men included) rather than just trying to be helpful? Should we have this as a fall back when we each get a little "my way is better"? Does this make you think of following the webmaster's rules a bit more?

I hope you enjoy this video. I'm still laughing!

PS. I am sorry for the 4 second commercial...didn't know how to get rid of that. So be patient for the video...

That is very funny.

My favorite line: "Surprisingly fewer maracas than expected ... Morocco is the singular of maracas." I think I know a few people who would believe that. :-)

Thanks for posting, Wray. These women nailed it! I don't know which I liked better-Mars or LA skid row.

I think I am going to go move into a yurt in Lapland that doesn't have internet. I appreciate it was parody, but OMG (hair flip) 'influencers"? A sad state of affairs.
(though I liked the Nepal = Napoleon dialogue)

So funny. Incredible editing. I didn’t realize how many actors were speaking until I watched it the second time. Excellent.

Very funny and somewhat accurate in how some people act and behave. I avoid these types. Hilarious none the less.

LOL! “What’s your number?” “Mine is 2X whatever you answer!” See you at Mars!

That was hilarious. I'd never seen her before, but checked out a few others after enjoying this one so much.

Thanks, Wray! Doug's embracing the culture at Costco right this minute. I'm sure he'll give me a complete report when he returns...maybe even write a book about it.

Hilarious! Thanks for sharing. I loved it when one mentioned Europe is so mainstream. Haha! Then she said Antarctica had no culture and hashtag Take me Back!

So much fun.

That was a hoot! Thanks for sharing, Wray. My favorite part was having the floors removed. And paying extra, of course. : )

Now, I'll throw this out there. There is only one woman in this video. Crazy good video?

Great!! My favorite was Antarctica -- paid $250,000 to go there and "a couple of scientists died carrying my luggage."
There was a book series (fiction) about a woman who ran a B&B in the Amish country of Pennsylvania and for a sizable extra charge guests could have the Amish Life Option -- making their own beds, cooking, washing dishes, cleaning the cow stalls. Embracing the culture.

This was so funny! Such talent. My favorite part was when she said she went to Africa to help build but didn't actually help or build anything but the kids seemed jazzed when she had a photo taken with them!

Thanks for the smiles, Wray. Even the plug at the end was enjoyable - and also the comments!

What's your number now? I was on track to hit 278 by now, but because of the darned Covid restrictions, I'm stuck at 209 :-).

Nice. Works on two levels - vanity travel, and competitive status-seeking. This is a parody of the opposite of the traditional "Ugly American" stereotype. Perhaps someone has done a video of that?
