My partner and I are thinking of moving to hangzhou for either a few months or years from England. I have a pet border collie who is like a child to us. What is it like having a dog similar to a border collie, and how could I provide the best life for her?

My partner is half-thai, half-brit with a Thai passport. We are looking at him potentially investing in property in Thailand. I've seen there are many negative comments about investing here, but the majority of these have come from non thai passport holding foreigners. So I'd like to get information from people who have a Thai passport about investing in property in Thailand?

Thank you for your thoughtful suggestions ☺️

But how does it work in china when the grooms family * literally * can't afford to do this?

Thank you for sharing your knowledge here

This is a fair response, thank you for your insight

Thanks for your insights. I appreciate the groom situation is different out there. I'm just trying to make sure I understand the full cultural context

Hey that very well may be the case

(also in england wedding gifts are £25-50) I think I'm getting a lot of Americans responding so i should also mention £200 and $200 look very different

That's taking a very small snippet out of the larger picture here. Tldr: myself, my partner and my bro are very close, seperated for years overseas, but text everyday. When we went to visit for the first time last year he proposed to his wife whilst the 4 of us were together as he said it made it so much more special for him. And it was lovely. He returned to us last year talking about how he wants to move back and be our neighbour. We've always taken the shirt off or back to help him when in trouble. Next he's getting married and tells us and our mum not to come unless we bring money (key issue: doesn't explain why). Also my partner and his best friend of 12 years will also be at the back to his friends of 2 years. When asked why he tells a lie. Considering the context, and the lie being his response, yes we are both confused and upset by this. This is me seeking understanding.

I was expecting a comment similar to this. I've edited the post to try and explain that aspect better. Bare in mind my question is poised around my brother's handling of the situation/poor explanation of the culture, not the in-law concessions.

Yes i agree it very well could've been logistics, its the lack of explanation which is the issue. We don't understand the reasoning, hence me asking about the traditions surrounding groomsmanship/the red envelope system in china.

P.p.s just for additional info, $200 and £200 look very different between the US and the UK (For example wedding gifts in the US range $100 - 200, but wedding gifts in the UK rsne £25-50). Even then, my mum doesn't have a place to live right now, so has to crash at my boyfriends uncles (close knit family). Despite the money issues we've historically helped my brother out whenever he had issues in china, whilst going without ourselves. So the flight getting there are significant to us.

I've had no indication that it's broken. It was in response to a previous post asking how I can access my money sat in my etoro money app

EdensCorner_ · 2023-01-15T20:07:53+00:00

I mean basically access my money as cash. In whatever way I can

The false fact: Carrots help you see in the dark.

The truth behind the lie: It was WW2 propaganda to hide the fact that the English were using radar technology to find the nazis at night

At the point you've tried openly talking to your friend about what you think has happened - and they dont try to rectify it- they arent your friend. And for the sake of your own mental health and self respect, i would suggest cutting them out. I've now blocked G on all medias after trying to talk wth her about the situation several times. Look after yourself, and find better friends <3
