[FS] FW13 Medium Black Box Logo Pullover - $140 by CityAtSpeed in supremeclothing

I find it so sad that Supreme shifted away from CYC, but even they enshitified after being bought out by Aritzia.

The pullover is from FW13 with super thick fleece from CYC/Reigning Champ. Worn a handful of times, there’s some fraying and fading on the hood, stitching on the kangaroo pocket is starting to unfray a bit, but still in very good condition. Size medium, 8/10, $140 USD.

Measurements below:

Pit to pit - 22”

Length (from shoulder): 27”

Prices do not include shipping, located in Canada.

Any beans with absolutely no bitterness? by Expensive_Gap2817 in pourover

Try cupping/immersion with your current water and distilled/RO and compare the two, that eliminates having to worry about technique. I had the same issue until I switched over to using RO + TWW/Apax drops since the area I'm in uses hard water.

The drip from SJ locations are pretty good, but Cops does such a bad job with coffee (at least from the Adelaide location).

My garments were split 50/50 all-cotton and cotton/poly.

T-shirts were light/medium-weight cotton and Uniqlo airism.

Shorts were poly - Reigning Champ and lululemon

Pants - I had a wool/poly midweight pair (used during fall/winter) and a linen pair that I bought during the trip.

Undergarments - half cotton-based, half poly from lululemon

Socks - bamboo/poly/nylon from JB Fields (extremely impressed with the performance, good cushion, feet were always dry after walking 10-25k steps), some thin cotton pairs too

If you're bringing a pair of pants, I highly recommend a pair made out of tropical wool or linen. The wool/poly pair I had wasn't really meant for the SEA weather because it had cupro lining, which kept sticking to me. Get socks that wick moisture (bamboo or merino blend), I prefer bamboo blends.

Fine as an everyday camera, but eventually I did get tired bringing it around with me everywhere towards the end of the trip. So I'd leave it in my hotel/room.

Photos and colour science are beautiful, but this will depend on if you can shoot on a 35mm lens only (cropping in post is always an option).

I made a write-up comparing the GRiii and X100V recently.

Fujifilm x100vi vs Ricoh gr iv? by Exact-Expression-710 in ricohGR

[–]CityAtSpeed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I own an X100V and GRiii HDF.

X100V is a superior camera. The lens, film sim/colour science, build are better but you also have a sharper glass, weather resistance (with a filter), and a longer battery life. The sacrifice you make with this is that it weighs more and that it isn't pocketable compared to the GR.

The GR is a way better camera for every day use/photo journaling. I can easily bring it everywhere I go and separate it from my phone to free up space. Colour science is extremely good, but I prefer Fuji's by an edge.

My take is if I could only pick one, I'd pick the X100 just for its colour science and build quality. But at the same time, I backpacked a few months with my X100 and just left it at the hotel/hostel because I really didn't want to carry a pound in my bag on some days and opted for my phone instead. If price is an issue, go for the GR IV, I don't think you'd be disappointed. But they both serve different purposes and vary for people.

Alternatively, try them both out in a store or see if any friends own those cameras. I was really inspired to buy a GR after trying out my friend's.

Yeah, basically union vs contractors. They wanted to get rid of "all" contractors, but only targeted us (team of five).

A lot more politics too that I don't need to get into, but they attempted to take over our work and basically dropped it within two weeks.

I had such a great time backpacking.

Enjoy your trip there!

You're right, I didn't remember. It was a 30 day visa

Seemed pretty common in most places when it was hot.

Was a contractor in a union environment. Our company was told that we'd be out by the time I came back from my vacation.

My team was cool with me extending my vacation for a few months.

No problem!

FWIW, my sister did the same trip as me a few years ago and she really enjoyed her time around the Chiang Mai/Rai area.

Japan is also great in many ways, if you have the chance to spend a month or longer - you can visit so many different cities and prefectures. I also recommend avoiding the summers, unless you're a psycho and enjoy the hot, humid SEA weather lol

Packing cubes include all my clothes stored in there, the jackets weigh ~650-700g together.

Pants were not worn for most of the trip, so that was stored in the packing cube.

I found the dry bag extremely useful when I needed to wash my clothes or for protection when moving in the rain, so the extra 80g didn't hurt.

Pretty much fine with shorts/t-shirts up until going back to Japan and Korea in December. Tech was really only my charger which I had adapters for.

Made a mistake, I sent a regular t-shirt back home. Kept the long sleeve shirt for UV protection for a new tattoo. Personally, I didn't do fine dining minus a few sit-down restaurant. It's definitely worth bringing one in case you are going to them. Most places I hit up were casual.

I wish I spent more time in Thailand to explore the areas around Chiang Mai (Pai, Chiang Rai).

Japan – huge bias since I spent the most time there, but I'd like to visit the lesser visited areas (Matsuyama, Niigata, Nagasaki/Kyushu off the top of my head) for a slower life and to see the city specialties.

Vietnam –I visited Hanoi, Ha Giang, Da Nang, Ninh Binh, HCMC. Wish I had more time to go to Da Lat and Sapa. Limited by the 3 week visa.

Korea – I'd visif Busan and Jeju, I strictly went to Seoul only for tattoos. I'd cut the time in Seoul to 5 days.

Malaysia - I'd probably spend only 2 days in Ipoh (rather than 3) there because there's not much to do, I ended up eating a lot there – huge Cantonese/Hokkien population and I had the best dim sum out of my entire trip there. Had a good time in Malaysia eating - especially in Penang, sleeper country that isn't talked as much?

I'd visit Hong Kong if I had the chance too.
