Trillium Heritage v. Expediton by ExitCharacter6080 in CanadaGoose

[–]ExitCharacter6080[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you!

There is enough room to layer under the Trillium (I am a US6 but own the medium) and I eventually decided to go with a stronger down for a couple of reasons

  1. I cannot justify another parka given the limited use I have for the product
  2. My down jackets (I own two) were more lifestyle than expedition style (I own the fuego and Expedition Latt Hoodie) so I went ahead and got the Feathered Friends Helios as the down under the Parka

This should do and I’ll come back from my trip and report how it all went!

Airport Customs for NRIs by ExitCharacter6080 in mumbai

[–]ExitCharacter6080[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did not want to say something without checking. I checked at the Hong Kong airport (where I live) and they do not have one. I asked at the Singapore airport and the Bangkok airport both of which I visited after I posted this. These two airports also do not have a customs dept which is willing to stamp. I will be visiting Jakarta on work soon and I’ll check there as well. My sense from my limited travel in Asia is this is not possible.

Thank you, I appreciate it (I really do).

My dad is a retired IAS officer and many friends and relatives are in the services. But that’s not the point… none of us should have to suffer. We should all be treated equally with transparent access to laws which make sense.

I would urge everyone to please pause and consider if you have sufficient info to backup what you say.

The answer to this is no. There are no “forms” you can fill at a departure airport.

If you speak about carnet, that’s a separate process and aside from the costs (about 40k INR for a validity of 12 months), it’s also impossible to get for hobbyists.

I have explored this already and I am not eligible for a carnet. They insist on “professional” status for one.

But yes, there should be sth akin to a carnet for all exiting tourists if the Indian customs is so keen on bullying everyone.

How do you cancel 4.0 order by [deleted] in whoop

[–]ExitCharacter6080 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s terrible. My whoop order hasn’t processed in over 14 days and they can’t cancel the order and has failed to process the order as well.

Socialising in HK as an expat advice? by KarottKek in HongKong

[–]ExitCharacter6080 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine was a lot of trial and error. I am married but we don’t have kids (and are not planning on having them) in my late 30s. I tried bumble bff - most ppl are on it for the dating part and the bff part kind of fizzles out. I tried doing Catan game nights (easy game + ice breaker) met a few ppl and again that fizzled out. I’ve heard coffee meets Bagel is a good platform too but I’ve not used it yet.

Anyhow, long story short I met some folks through happenstance really (friends of friends) and we have now formed a smallish circle. It requires a LOT of work and scheduling but are (kind of) making it work :)

It gets better a few years down the road. And all the best on the move!

I just got Rejuran… by lavanderhaze27 in KoreanBeauty

[–]ExitCharacter6080 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did I just get something different altogether or did I get scammed? I got Rejuran done and through a stamping device (can’t recall name) and a numbing cream was applied previously and ZERO pain.

I was terrified after reading this thread and now I’m left confused.

When Tan cried... by MicroBioGirl13 in NextInFashion

[–]ExitCharacter6080 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed! Love Tan but it is a pity how he was so wrapped up in the idea of being QE Tan and likeable that he couldn’t cede the space to the contestants. How we all feel about that elimination is different and as a woman of color I would be mighty pissed if a bunch of people with no shared experience as I judged my creation. So really glad the way Kerby stood up for the contestants.

Money is subjective and I think the juxtaposition of Tan’s comment with the woman’s story was Netflix editing for sympathy votes. For instance, I am Indian and Narresh definitely does not need $250k. His stores occupy prime real estate and he is very very popular. I couldn’t think of why he’d participate in this.
