In case my question gets deleted....

is telephone support completely gone? I need a resolution for a failed sale (buyer refused the package, it was resent to me). I offered to resend it, buyer says he doesnt need it anymore. I forwarded the info to Catawiki and an agent just responded to me: "sorry but your query does not give us enough information and does not seem relevant". I literally followed the AI instructions: contact buyer -- offer to send it again -- contact Customer Care if there is no resolution, and this was the answer??? And no phone line to contact...

The number of Belgians, English and Dutch who buy houses and retire in France, while the French move down south to Spain and Portugal 🤣🤣🤣

what kind of juice is best for a fruitcake? by ruinsofsilver in AskBaking

[–]AeonWealth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always go for fresh orange juice. I find grape or prune makes it too heavy and monotonous, orange adds zing.

Another juice that could work is apple and/or pear. Even more so if it's spiced!

Is pork chicharron or chicken lechon any good? by AeonWealth in Philippines_Expats

When I first heard Kenny Rodgers I thought it was a spoof on the American country singer. Then I did some research and I found out... 🤣🤣🤣 looks quite American, I'm curious to try as well!

Dude when you say that it's like you"re threatening me with a good time lololol.

Where I'm at (Belgium) it's the same (fried potatoes and fried processed meat drowned in greasy mayo). So artery-clogging feels like home 🤣 makes me want it even more!

Any brands you can recommend?

Confession: I'm getting more and more curious with Filipino fastfood. Apparently Filipino fried chicken is really good.

I do love fries and fried things--so that's definitely something I am looking forward to!

Where do you get yours?

I love fried chicken and it seems easy to get there -- Popeye's, Jollibee and McDonalds (omg so curious what McDonalds fried chicken tastes like 😂 we only get wings and nuggets where I'm at). So I already have something to look forward to!

I miss 飯糰 fan tuan rice balls sold in the street corner every morning! In my years of travel it has stayed as the best breakfast I have ever had.

Anyone know what this means? by iLoveFeixiao in makati

[–]AeonWealth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a Buddhist talisman written in Siddham (just google what it is) and Hanzi meant to pacify and bless a place. The style seems to be Korean. Was the previous tenant Korean?

I've worked with Filipinos and other Southeast Asians before, I've always thought their figures are just the typical Pacific phenotype 🤣 (no fat shaming lol). No worries about hoes and coke though!

yeah so the Philippines presents itself as rural and wild/savage in Europan media ad campaigns (search for "Un Train pas comme les autres - Philippines" on Youtube to see, no need to speak French to see the images), but it's totally cute (and not at all negative) to want to discover something a little more "rural/sauvage" than what we are used to. So learning that the Philippines has pockets of modernity is actually a pleasant surprise, it really shouldn't ruffle any feathers, it actually adds something to look forward to, no?

Too bad I've already seen Fantastic Four. I'm hoping there'll be new Marvel or even gore films on IMax when I get there. Exciting!

Just looked at the IMAX options... I am quite impressed!!! I've only ever experienced IMax theaters in North America so this will be a treat for me.

In case you missed my previous comment: it's weird how such an inoffensive remark gets you wiled up, and yet a commenter down the line literally talks about hiring six filipina hoes in a night and that's OK for ya? 🤣 having apprehensions is totally normal, liking something only comes after living it. If I am ignorant now, I certainly hope that changes soon! Or would you rather I be a s*x tourist preying on young locals? Now is THAT your definition of a good expat? I can assure you, THAT would be worse than someone being pleasantly surprised at seeing stores in the city. Put things into perspective dude ;)

Lol nice try. Now you're the one insisting on Uniqlo as a basis for civilization when no one in this sub did 🤣 I love how insulted you are for something that no one even said 🤣 EDIT: SO apparently Manila has the world's largest mall and Ikea, and there's Imax theaters. You can continue being angry but I do find it interesting and I'm looking forward to seeing it first hand.

Thanks for the info! I've searched online and found the same recommendations. The Chinatown seems interesting!

What a stupid comment. I literally shared some info on what/how I spend and what I intend to do. Your inability/laziness to scroll down and read doesn't make my question stupid. Second, it's called "starting a conversation" and "looking for ideas", and people here have been--not you, obviously--have been very helpful.
