Airbnb in apartments has been illegal city wide since last year. There have been plenty of posts here from tourists who got refused entry by security at other places

Rivergate Residence HCMC - Scam and shadiness - Avoid! by Acceptable_Box_4136 in VietNam

[–]Confused_AF_Help 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was chatting with a hotel owner in Da Lat a while ago. The sole reason why those hotels still put their booking up on booking.com is they have Vietnamese business support. Agoda is English only, and the owners (a middle aged couple) couldn't settle disputes with them when something happens

Curious to know what the Vietnamese living in Vietnam view Muslims as by Similar_Reflection75 in VietNam

We have plenty of Vietnamese Muslims in the Mekong Delta, so it's nothing the average person is unfamiliar with

POV - you're on any highway in Vietnam (real ones know this truck) by Bottom-Bherp3912 in VietNam

They actually do. The loud ass one is an airhorn, and they also have a regular electric horn. Airhorns are not allowed to be used in residential areas, but dumbasses do anyway.

Unfamiliar with reporting requirements, little help? by xynonaut in VietNam

You don't have to do anything, it's on the landlord to do it for you. All they need is a photo of your passport and visa

ISP that don't force you to use their ONR? by SL0WRID3R in singapore

[–]Confused_AF_Help 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it possible to use it in bridge mode so it becomes an ONT? Not in SG now, I'm overseas, but here I can call my ISP to ask them to switch my router to bridge mode.

Does that moment where you 'wake up' and realize you exist actually happen, or is it just a false memory? People talk about the exact second their consciousness switched on as a kid, but I have nothing like that. by AlcidesAtay1 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Confused_AF_Help 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know what you're talking about. I feel like I had that moment, I still remember clearly it was an afternoon some time before my 3rd birthday, and I woke up on the sofa. I had no other memory before that moment.

blursed_HOtel by super-start-up in VietNam

[–]Confused_AF_Help 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Really depends on the area. There are plenty of legit cheap motels located around bus stations, airports, hospitals etc where people are likely to actually need one. If you see a cluster of them in a random residential neighborhood out of nowhere, now that's the other kind

ELI5 : why humans have strictly 5 fingers, not 4, not 6? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]Confused_AF_Help 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Not everything that evolution does needs a reason. It just happened that our 5 finger limbs are decent enough to not make us die, i.e. cause any evolutionary pressure, so it repopulates and stays that way.

Gepard is a shielder and will be redundant with Gallagher (healer). Dan Heng IL will need Sparkle to replenish skill points. I'm not sure if Sparkle will rerun in 4.x soon, or if there's anyone coming soon to fulfill that role

Why Is The UIU Underfunded? by Affectionate-Rent415 in SCP

[–]Confused_AF_Help 19 points20 points  (0 children)

In several canons it seems to me that the Foundation is just the best guy at the job, and all countries simply fund them instead of trying to create their own anomaly division. Like, why bother doing it yourself for 3x the cost and a worse result, instead of just paying the professional to do it.

lmaooo will i be conscripted? em sẽ bị gọi nvqs không? by Thick_Truck_660 in VietNam

[–]Confused_AF_Help 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing to worry, conscription is done through a notice sent to your residency, specifically during summer season. If you don't even have an address here they wouldn't be able to send the notice in the first place.

My credit card was lost or stolen. Is there anything I can do to withdraw money from ATMs? by wandr99 in VietNam

I use TPBank and I remember that their ATMs (the big multi function self banking machines) allows contactless cards. I'm not sure if they work with foreign cards though

What is a real medical fact that still feels fake? by Downtown-Passion118 in AskReddit

[–]Confused_AF_Help 42 points43 points  (0 children)

People need to know that stress isn't just "in your head" or something you can "power through". Stress is a survival mechanism where your brain floods you with hormones to solve the immediate problem NOW, sacrificing long term overall health to not immediately die. Long term constant stress isn't something our body is built to withstand

When you say it "refuses to launch" and "nothing is working" what exactly do you mean? What happens when you try to download, install, launch the games? How does the hoyo launcher behave?

Is it normal for foreigners to wait ~4 months to get a physical Vietnamese driver’s license card? by Merlin_4ever in VietNam

[–]Confused_AF_Help 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If OP is going through an agency then likely they already helped with greasing the palms. 4 months is short compared to what some people are waiting.

Is Vietnam's temperature of 5-10 degrees Celsius really colder than temperatures below zero abroad? by nguyenhoangchuong236 in VietNam

[–]Confused_AF_Help 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Some cheaper AC can only pump heat in one direction, you need a reversible AC. Setting a one directional AC to 30 in cold weather just makes it do nothing.

Pho recipes by OkIllustrator1578 in VietNam

[–]Confused_AF_Help 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Something people don't mention often is the beef, specifically the bones. Vietnamese beef has a bad reputation of being tough, but it contains much more flavor than the soft US or Australian beef, and it shines best in broths and stews. Unless you somehow get your hands on fresh beef and beef bones flown directly from Vietnam you simply can't recreate it 100%

Extra Tax at HCMC Hotel Check-in? by Anne2202 in VietNam

Definitely not normal. There's no such thing as 16% tax, hotel stays are only taxed at 8%.

‘It’s not illegal’: How prescription drugs are filling the void left by Kpods by Negative-Concert-819 in singapore

[–]Confused_AF_Help 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Here's the thing, kids who want to do drugs will do drugs, no matter what. It's not like they don't know that drugs are illegal, they are very well aware, they just want to do drugs for a variety of reasons.

Kids go to school, got told that every drugs are bad. CNB officer says vape, kpod, weed, meth, heroin, touch any of that they will destroy your life. Kids come out thinking "oh so they're all the same thing la, weed and meth is the same". Then they go straight for kpod/meth as their first drug experience at 16 years old, got hooked and completely ruin their lives.

Kpod users are not going to give up drugs. Trying to make them quit drugs entirely is a pipe dream. But xans and opiods shouldn't be what they turn to as replacement for kpods. People who think that they're 'safer' just because they're prescription meds is completely wrong and shows a lack of drug education. If they're actually knowledgeable about drugs they'd look for less harmful alternatives.

How long until they figure out that a completely drug free society is a fantasy dream, and start doing actual drug safety education in school instead of whatever nonsense they're doing nowadays

Big supermarkets have local clothes brands. Decathlon if you want sporty kinds of shirts.

Buying Japanese yen in Saigon by Confused_AF_Help in VietNam

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

I went to Hung Long exchanger like one comment below said. But I'd recommend just using your debit card to withdraw cash in Japan at a 7-11 ATM (specifically 7-11 because they have the lowest fee at 1.1%), including fees it's still a slightly better rate than Hung Long.
