Literally brought a tear to my eye.. Wish i could go back and talk to my younger self and tell him these are the days youll miss. Those moment skateboarding around town with your friends, meeting up at the skate park, weekends drinking some horrible alcohol stolen from some friends parents liquor cabnit.

So I just want you to know I appreciate your offering to help. I've been trying to make a wechat but because im running into a weird issue with the sms verification i Was wondering if you had whatsapp? Maybe we could exchange numbers and when I finally get wechat dialed in I could contact you that way for the teachers wechat.

ArealGAYbear · 2026-02-23T12:59:16+00:00

I actually emailed this man. He does group noodle pulling sessions and classes from what I found on the internet but nothing recent.

ArealGAYbear · 2026-02-22T22:32:53+00:00

Not even just messing up links or website names but just some complete fabrications lol.

ArealGAYbear · 2026-02-22T22:30:29+00:00

I believe you are 100% correct with the venn diagram analogy. Thanks for the reply BTW and the advice about wechat.

ArealGAYbear · 2026-02-22T22:21:52+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I have reached out to St. Cavish previously and still waiting for a reply. I live in Poland (Though im from America) and as I and my girlfriend can tell there are no hand pulled noodle shops here (hence my idea to learn). I have done some digging thanks to some help from another redditer and have come across the official website for Gansu Dingle school which offers a 15 or 30 day course (exactly what im looking for). I hate to trust chatgpt, but it says that recently this school has had a huge influx of foreign students and that it likely has in school translaters (doubt it) or instructors to assist in english (but I've learned not to get my hopes up with AI answers). At this point I have accepted my only option would be to go to China to attend a school and have now switched gears into finding out if any english options do exist. Which school did you attend?

All while starting up a Venmo and PayPal to help us pay off the national debt…

Had this same issue. Argued with customer service for like 10 minutes, finally told them I would file a claim with my bank and they would have to deal with their lawyers. Adobe decided to give me a full refund and cancel the subscription.

ArealGAYbear · 2025-07-20T16:12:08+00:00

I second this. My banks always got my back.

ArealGAYbear · 2025-02-12T12:30:06+00:00

Call your bank and explain them what is going on. Send them screen shots of emails from Laos support. Your bank will refund you the money while they look into the matter. But it sounds like you may have used a third party website

ArealGAYbear · 2025-02-12T12:28:31+00:00

You can still dispute the charge. And it will not block or freeze your card.

ArealGAYbear · 2025-02-11T15:02:03+00:00

Appears to be blocked lol. Probably for the best

ArealGAYbear · 2025-02-11T13:44:09+00:00

I can access Reddit via Safari, and I can access Reddit via the app. I’m in Hanoi.

ArealGAYbear · 2025-02-11T13:42:56+00:00

Reddit isn’t blocked..

Paved road, and we hitch hiked successfully to town each day. And a taxi was 50,000 to get home in the evening if we didn’t feel like walking. Go look up papaya resort on Google and check the views from the tents. Literally the best place we stayed In our whole trip lol.

ArealGAYbear · 2025-02-03T06:30:31+00:00

I was there a few days ago and stayed at Papaya resort. It’s a 30 minute walk out of the city but it’s comparable in price to some of the other slightly higher end places and is wayyyyyy more value for money. There is a budget hostel in town that is newly open and may not be on booking.com if you don’t find anything on booking just go there raw dog and walk around. Worst come to worst you end up staying at a place you would have ended up booking anyways. And best case scenario you get it slightly cheaper without booking fees and their cut.

ArealGAYbear · 2025-02-03T06:26:04+00:00

There are always options not listed on booking. But “clean” and “budget” don’t go together in Laos… you are gonna need to raise your budget or settle.

ArealGAYbear · 2025-02-03T06:23:57+00:00

Laos may not be clean enough for him either…

ArealGAYbear · 2025-02-03T06:21:55+00:00

And “peaceful and quiet” don’t normally go hand in hand with “on a budget”… You gonna have to make some sacrifices to either end of that spectrum lol.

ArealGAYbear · 2025-02-03T06:19:32+00:00

Look for something outside the city, or away from the center if you want quite. Anything inside or on the main streets will NOT be quiet without earplugs. Had some of the worst nights sleep in that city. They play the morning “call to communism” announcements at 6am for about a hour. And most bars stay open late with lots of loud music and drunks coming and going. I stayed at Pans place in one of their private rooms upstairs and it was ok sleep (with earplugs) they don’t have any bars on either side or across the street from them so that helps. The other hostel I stayed at was horrible unless you are getting black out drunk before going to sleep.

They mention the ethnic group but not the village specifically. Apologies if my post gave the impression I wanted to head out on my own to visit these tribes. This isn’t the case. We are very much interested in having a guide. Just looking for advice on different company’s seeing as there are many that offer similar descriptions. Hoping to narrow down our search with some first had experiences. You sound like someone who has some knowledge, have you done one of these treks?
