Is it just me or is this week's question an excuse for people to post photographs of themselves showing off?

Not sure
A couple look that way, but some of the pics have just been fantastic.

There is obviously nothing wrong with going on holiday to unusual places
but these trips are only life-changing/eye-opening/different world etc if you are an ignorant, patronising white person with the emotional development of a teenager.

Just saying.

so true
went to my brother's place for dinner with the mrs and my other brother.

first brother shows us a select few pics from Canada. Quite nice. Photos of bears are good.

Next brother shows us every fucking photo from Turkey when everyone there had been there earlier that year.

I fucking hate holiday photos

I put my photos of Venice on Facebook more for my own records than for anyone to see
but loads of my friends commented on them all. I don't know why you would voluntarily look at someone's holiday photos. I know perhaps Venice is slightly more interesting than generic beach holiday, but still. I would only show my friends pictures of a holiday if it was, say, a bear biting someone's face off.

Oh, I didn't click on them, I don't think it's funny to photoshop someone and put words like "COCKFUCK MEGA THUNDER CUNT" or words to that extent.
It's dull, combining a few swear-words (and maybe adding animals), shows no imagination what so ever, anyone can do that without even thinking. And then, using personal information he's found out by stalking people, is also creepy, and not very imaginative eaither.

Your flounce, you just called things how you saw it, yeah', sure, I thought it was wrong when you used personal information people have intrusted you with, but at least there was some whit to it rather than "LOL U SHIT URSELF LOL".

"There I was, on my gap-year, where I searched the world finding myself....
... I went to Thailand and I saw this waterfall, and I just sat there and cried. It was a beutiful metaphore of my life, the rush of water falling into the lake. It's like we all travel through life, a complete journey, and then we come to the end of it.

Let me tell you a back-story, there was a girl, there is always a girl, and needless to say, I was head over heals in love with her. She was stunning and funny and perfect in every and any way possible. I saw her on the train, but didn't have the guts to strike up a conversation, and now that moment is lost.

Fast foward 5 years later, and I'm in Thailand, by a waterfall. There were people playing by it, loads of students, and it was like time stopped, I could see every single drop of water, I could see each and every leaf blowing in the wind, I could make out every single bubble in every single bottle of beer in the bar set up by the pool of water. You see, I thought I saw this girl again, I thought god himself was giving me a second chance. It's ironic you see, while trying to find myself, I found my true love. I walked up to her, and I said "Do you remember that time you got on the picadilly line, going south from Arnos Grove at 17:35? Well, that was me on that train. My love, I've found you.", she told me she's never been to england in her spannish accent, that I must be mistaken. A man came up to us and put his arm around her, I was to late, it wasn't even her, however, for that one buetiful moment when I thought it was, I think I found not only myself, but happiness too. It's given me hope, a hope I've never had before, and I know in some small way, everything will be alright."
