The main difference to a regular apartment are the events in the building - yoga sessions, regular community dinners, weekly football matches, parties etc. Everyone in the building gets to know each other pretty quickly. Average age is about 29.
Living in a bunk is a different story - I've stayed in my fair share of hostels and honestly the worst part about a shared room is the snorers (even with ear plugs etc.)
Would be interesting to see the market share of Apple, Samsung and Garmin for smart watches.
Now that's a steep consulting rate, wonder what he bills per hour

I've personally never had any issues with Amazon in terms of quality, but would never buy anything from them I put in my body - I usually stick to electronics of value < £100.
E.g. if an app is getting mostly 5 stars and you give it a 1 star, your rating will be more prominently shown in Google Play.
Then saw in the URL that it's their Canadian store so makes sense.
I seem to remember reading somewhere that they get audited to make sure they don't do this, although can't find the link.
From my experience, so few people actually do this. When I watch friends or family use Google, they almost always click on the first or second result without thinking that it is probably an ad.
I was holidaying in Split, Croatia when the MS Queen Elizabeth [1] docked and thousands of people descended onto the city from it.
The quiet city became absolutely packed with tour groups from the ship, completely ruined the atmosphere.
I guess the cruise tourists do bring in quite a bit of money from eating in the restaurants, buying souvenirs etc, so not that much of a negative for the locals.
I usually listen to Audible when I can't or don't want to read (e.g. walking or on a commute).
