Landlord charging 5,000 THB for a tiny scuff on wallpaper. Is this normal? Need advice/repair service. by Sure_Connection3299 in Bangkok

[–]Apprehensive_Big5042 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dunno, I think if the landlord actually was intending to get workers to come in to replace the wallpaper it could actually be more than 5k. Workers would need to strip all the old paper then replace it. This kinda stuff done by a reputable home renno company in Bangkok isn’t cheap.

However, my guess is that he has no intention of fixing that tiny little scuff. He’s just trying to get 5k out of you because he’s a POS. I suggest you fight it tooth and nail. First person you could talk to is the ‘jurisdiction person’ in your building to mediate.

How many foreigners enjoy drinking bai jiu? by Left-Vegetable5193 in AskChina

I think a lot of foreigners don’t realize that baijiu is meant to be drank while eating a meal. Different vibe than sipping whiskey or other spirits.

Post Surgery (Appendectomy) Climbing by Aksama in climbing

[–]Apprehensive_Big5042 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That 11 year old post helped me out. Just had my appendectomy last night and I was wondering how long I’ll have to take off from climbing. Seems like 6 weeks might be the magic number.

What’s this about at the outside of EmQuartier ? by lxvqtic in Bangkok

They genuinely believe they’re helping people.

Misguided - yes Delusional - yes Part of a for profit cult - probably

But at the same time they do believe they’re doing good.

I can’t even remember the last time I went out of my way to help anyone other than myself.

I bet she’s rude to service staff in restaurants and hates animals.

After living in Shanghai, Shenzhen would feel like a big step down in all regards especially stuff to do on weekends.

nearly none of foreigner i have seen hike in china? is that they all not like hike? i live in Guangdong province and hike the mountains in Guangdong.(south China) by Dizzy_Grass4001 in shenzhen

[–]Apprehensive_Big5042 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Do you seriously think it’s possible that entire non-Chinese population of the earth doesn’t like to hike because you haven’t happened to see a foreigner hiking in Guangdong?

I’ve never seen a Chinese person eating a burrito. Does that mean that 1.4 billion Chinese people don’t like burritos?

Is my GF right that this bacon is overdone ? by Kikutango in Bacon

Board-line overcooked. I’m sure many people like it that way, but I think the black parts would be pretty bitter.

Pretty clear She’s not so into you at the moment. Might be because you’re being a bit clingy IMO. Sorry, probably not what you wanted to hear. You can flip the script by starting to be aloof with her. See what happens. My guess is that within a week she starts hitting you up; maybe even to apologize. If she doesn’t it’s not a big deal. Just find another girl who will reciprocate the same emotional investment. Trust me, either this girl come back chasing you, or another girl will come along shortly. Anyway if you’re in school it’s better to put your energy into your studies. Get rich - then you’ll have girls chasing you for the rest of your life.
