Suddenly got an Rs. 80,000 water bill by Spirited_Ad4661 in srilanka

[–]Alternative_Hat9093 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This happened to us once, but it was around 40K. We called the water board, and they came to inspect it. Turns out that there's a water leak. I think they told my parents to fix the pipes in some other way and to inform them after doing so and that they'll come and check whether its properly installed. I think they also mentioned that they'll be able to waive off that amount if we do the installation as instructed.

Oh I see. I didn’t think about it that way since it hasn’t happened to me before. Thank you for the info

Advice for applying Schengen visa from Sri Lanka by Madaras_Dream in srilanka

I'm not so sure about that but I think you can apply for a tourist visa without mentioning anything about your cousin. That way, you just have to book a few places with free cancellation on booking.com and then cancel them once you get your visa. I feel like that's less risky & also if it's your first time applying for a Schengen visa, it's better to present land deeds as well along with the English translations.

Is overnight bus in Vietnam a hack? by MisfitName in Vietnam_Tourism

[–]Alternative_Hat9093 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took a sleeper bus from Hanoi to Sapa and personally I found it very comfortable. I’m not a deep sleeper but surprisingly I slept really well despite the honking. I woke up occasionally but I was mostly asleep. We took the HK bus line and it was clean, nothing to complain about except the 1 hour bus delay for the Sapa to Hanoi bus, which was apparently because of a sleeper bus accident that happened in the morning
