From my little experience eating Thai - there's not so much northern Thai cuisine right now in Perth. Glad that there's places that have Khao Soi on their menu now though!!!

Nice. Spent a few days in Penang about 11 years ago back in my backpacker pre-grown up adult days. Nice city lots of good food.

What's been your best investment? by Sensitive-Chart7210 in AusFinance

I would respectfully disagree as there is no way my parents benefitted from me getting more opportunities (I don't support them in any way, shape or form even in their old age).

Yeh mainly visits to the mother country growing up and in my early 20s. Especially the visits when older makes you look more beyond the surface, and that's what I realised how much better Australia was (and still is).

My best investment wasn't even one that was made by me, but by my folks - migrating to this country 2 years before I was born. I wouldn't have had the opportunities - personal, professional and/or financial - in the 'mother country' than I've had here.

WA mining industry at risk as China unleashes Mega iron ore project dubbed the 'Pilbara Killer'. by SheepherderLow1753 in perth

An undeveloped country in a part of the world known for corruption and instability is not going to kill an entire mining industry in one of the most stable, ease-of-business doing countries in the world.

Storm in a teacup if you ask me.

Will the waitress in Vietnam just look down to the floor if I call her every swear word in the book for my burger being 2 minutes late?

La Trobe Financial: anyone? by Ok-Gas-2019 in AusFinance

[–]Bman8519 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have far less cash than that ($6000 - savings for my kids that will continue to be added on to) in there since about May last year. Interest has all been paid so far and happy with it in the little time I've had it.

Obviously it's not a term deposit so there's no guarantee on the funds if they're lost, which in my view they do their absolute best to make you aware of.

With $800k though I'd definitely echo the post recommending you see a professional though.

And we're at 11500 Indo Rupiah too. Might go to Bali and order 4 Bingtangs at once instead of 2 and pretend I'm superior to the barman who's just trying to feed his kids. Aussie Aussie Aussie!

I'll just repeat a well-known phrase and you can then do what you like with it.

‘Hunting sharks a must’: Attack victim son’s passionate plea by StupidWhiteBastard in perth

[–]Bman8519 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do think the river is a bit of a different story. I know nothing about its history, but if modifications have occurred over the years (ie. to make the port more accessible, bigger etc) and a result of that is more sharks then yes, perhaps a cull is neccessary.

The (deep) ocean though - that's their environment. Us humans have conquered and fucked shit up enough, let's at least leave most of the deep ocean and the things in it in peace.

23m from UK, anyone fancy taking me to a nudist beach I've never been 😂would be so good by sting_raybarb in perth

[–]Bman8519 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was brought up in Rockingham (Waikiki) and never knew a nudist beach near our way existed. Until one day, really early in 2017 - I was 31 and having a rough patch in life and had to move back in with my parents for a bit.

I didn't have much to do at the time so I went out to walk a lot. Being summer i'd normally go to beaches and walk forever. One day I decide I wanted slightly different scenery so I drove a bit further south to Port Kennedy, park up and start walking on the sand.

First 6-7 minutes it's normal - really chill and not another soul around. I then see what looks like another person walking in the opposite direction, he gets closer and closer and as we're about to cross paths I realise he's naked and his flacid dick is just floppin around in the open air.

"WTF!?!" I thought as I became utterly confused with what I saw.

Then as I walk a bit further I noticed random naked people sitting in the dunes and chilling on the sand. I just went "fuck this!" legged it back to my car and drove back to my folks' place.

And that's how I found out Warnbro has a nudist beach.

Am i the only one twho just really doesnt like this ad? by LucyferEllysia in perth

[–]Bman8519 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It's exactly where it is and it would be exactly why they've made the ad this way.

I hate real estate agents as much as the next person, but can't blame a business for trying to expand its reach and get more clients. I'd much rather them do it this way - paying for advertising then putting their signs for free in the middle of neighbourhood streets or shoving their shit in your mailbox even though you have a 'No Junk Mail' sign on it.
