Incredible scenry and historical sites but, man, Istanbul broke my heart First time here in Istabul, always wanted to be here a long time due to its historical significance. However, it totally broke my heart: Been pickpocketed on the first day, lost approx. EUR 1,000. Filed a police report. Police was nice but I do not expect any positive result. the places where I stay (close to the Blue Mosque) have plenty of t…

Best historical memory museums?

( www.reddit.com )

Best historical memory museums? I just got back from Lima, Peru and I was joking with a friend that I spent many hours at the “requisite Latin American political violence museum”. These kinds of memory spaces are usually the highlight of my trips. I find a country’s ability to process its own history to be fascinating. How do they tell their story to outsiders? Whose perspect…

Jordan historical sites to visit – reccomendations? Heya 🙂 My partner and I are going to be spending around 11 days in Jordan in March, with a plan to hire a car and drive around. We’re both archaeologists and excited to see as many historical places as possible! Are there any little gem sites that people recommend that might not be as common? So far we’re thinking of staying a few nights in Amm…

Songs about a historical figure?

Songs about a historical figure? I think there are lots of songs to choose from.. Candle in the Wind is obviously about Marylin Monroe. Nightshift by the Commodores is another two people. Many songs to choose from related to Elvis as well. I’m sure there are also songs about someone that is more obscure, that perhaps many people haven’t heard of. Bonus for any song about a pers…

Mortgage rates right now are not out of line with historical values

( www.reddit.com )

Mortgage rates right now are not out of line with historical values I have had to make this point a couple of times in individual posts, so it probably warrants its own discussion. If you look at mortgage rates over the last 50 years (the data, by month, is freely available), you will find that the average 30 year mortgage rate is 7.75%. The median is 7.4%. The rates we all got used to in the last couple of deca…

Is there an investment calculator that simulates the returns based on real historical market performance?

( www.reddit.com )

Is there an investment calculator that simulates the returns based on real historical market performance? Most of the interest rate calculator are rather simplistic in that it takes a fixed rate of return as input and shows what the returns will be in the future. However, the actual market performance is not fixed and there will be down-years where my capital will go down significantly in some years. Is there a calculator where I can simulate what a…
