I live alone and I’m just wasting away my time here. It’s actually making me very depressed to be honest. I do live in the city which makes think there ought to be at least something to do out here. Though I can’t really afford to spent money on it every day.
So unless it’s like a one time purchase or if the costs are actually that low. What do you think I should do?
Try to identify your local ethnic/cultural organizations, and follow their events schedules.
There are pretty large Indian and Vietnamese populations where I live, and they each have an association to share their cultural highlights with the larger pop. The Holi and Festival of Lights celebrations (Indian) and Lunar New Year (Vietnamese) were all an absolute blast and had amazing food.
Good way to get intel on your local organizations is to hit up the respective restaurants/grocery stores from whichever cultures are well represented in your area - look for pamphlets and ask the staff.
As a pasty white dude who’s only recently started tuning in to events like that, everything feels very new and unique - highly recommend!
This! My area has a sizable Hispanic population and I wasn’t aware of how many street festivals they have until I moved here. It’s pretty great. Had the best churro ever the other day, and got an amazing poncho for day off the dead.
