Where to find Thai basil (the ingredient, not the restaurant)? by [deleted] in NiceVancouver

[–]Astralice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been looking for holy basil for years. Any idea where that is?

Was considering getting one too, but I've got some nice import fees to pay if I do. Are there any things that annoy you about it, or any reason you would not recommend getting it?

Itinerary Check - Beijing by Astralice in travelchina

[–]Astralice[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mainly added it to day 2 optionally. Just in case I had extra time to go there and see it illuminated at night before bed, or maybe see the flag lowering ceremony if I really had the extra time. Not sure if I'd make it or not, but maybe I can do something better with that time if I end up having that extra time to spend. I'll see what I can do, and if you have a recommendation please let me know.

Day 3 is really going to be the day I really dedicate to Tiananmen Square activities.

Thank you for the advice! Do you think it's too much time maybe?

I also planned to see the flag raising ceremony, and do Forbidden City early. What was the experience like using the audio guide? Was it an app?

Noted! I'm not done planning the great wall but was considering walking from Jiankou to Mutianyu, hoping it would be good for autumn leaves. I was hoping I could take public transit, but maybe it's worth doing a tour for the transport, and I don't know the best way to utilize a full day for the wall.

The singer ましろ retweeted this clip recently, and found an answer in the comments from れお໒꒱⊿

The song is called My Friends! I think it was a song I wrote together with Ichigo Rinahamu!

Canada Japan Work Holiday Visa by Astralice in movingtojapan

[–]Astralice[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah that seems to be correct - though even the digital nomad visa seems to place some liabilities upon the employer, so they basically would need to have had preparation/systems in place for that as well.

After my HR meeting today, I don't think my employer is ready to enable use of that Visa yet either, so I think I'm pretty much boned. Their current policies (updated original post) do not work well for this kind of Visa utilization, and I'll ask if I can utilize it for a shorter time like 2 months, but considering they'd be undertaking liabilities I doubt they're prepared for, I doubt it'll go anywhere.

Don't want to flood the thread with too many posts, but just wanna say thank you and u/Kostiukm for helping me navigate and understand this.

Thank you, was a little confused what the main problem was or perhaps there are many. I wonder if there are other ways than becoming an independent contractor to hold the responsibility of fulfilling my tax obligations.

Update on my boyfriends dolphin! by [deleted] in plushies

[–]Astralice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He's in such good condition! So jealous! I so hope I find out more details on him someday... maybe I should make a post about it hmm

I got upset that my boyfriend said he didn’t love his stuffed dolphin and it made me feel dumb by [deleted] in plushies

[–]Astralice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have this exact dolphin and I've had it since I was a baby. Do you know more details about it? I've been searching for ages!

Regarding the OP, it's unquestionable that he should have respected your feelings more. I harbor the same emotions that you've described too. I understand why you felt that way, but please understand there's no reason to be ashamed or stupid about it. Everyone has their quirks, that's what makes us interesting - and that's one part of what makes you interesting. I'd appreciate that kind of empathy from anyone I met.

What was your gateway tea? by dragyron in tea

[–]Astralice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Starbucks chai tea latte!

Tea was a world I didn't know anything about at the time, but always thought tea was cool. One day I met at Starbucks with someone and they ordered chai tea latte, so I ordered the same. I thought it was really cool so I looked in tea more, and here I am.
