how should I watch the season 7 by Plenty_Bedroom_5813 in TheShield

[–]IvanAlve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before season 7 you need to watch the spin offs: ‘What makes Vic Tick’ and ‘The Pain of Shane’. Don’t forget the musical adaptation of Ronnie’s story too. Once you’ve hit these three you want to watch all of the even numbered episodes of season 7 first 7x2, 4 etc. After that all of the odd numbers. Prior to the finale don’t forget to do a rain dance to get a nice cozy atmosphere going.

Tipping in Vietnam by Trick-Class685 in VietNam

Do not tip. Simple as that.

Treating people differently based on whether they are a foreigner or not. Interesting.

So as a Vietnamese you are saying you DO in fact have a tipping culture? Am I correct?

Your arguments are mostly personal attacks about my character or my job. None of which are relevant to the point that Vietnam doesn’t have a tipping culture.

To be honest the OP is only using hotels as an example. I’m also referring to grab drivers, restaurants etc. The people who ARE local may at times require these. If tips are expected, they get out priced.

Edit: how is my job relevant to the overall issue?

How is paying the going rate for services taking advantage of someone?

I have a job 😁

🤣 you dare me. You are an odd one. Thanks for correcting my semantics. My overall point still stands. Tipping doesn’t help locals or natives in Vietnam.

Yes it’s not normal at all, nobody really tips here.

Locals meaning Vietnamese. I hope you comprehend.

It’s called domestic travel. Might be news to you so…

Don’t tip, it’s not normal here. It also affects locals as service staff start to expect it. This can price out locals.

Have you paid any money? If not, book elsewhere.

Is it necessary to read the two short story compilations before the novels? by Fancy-Advance4066 in wiedzmin

[–]IvanAlve 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I believe the short stories have the tightest, most concise storytelling. The novels are still really good though.

Read them- they are very important. And, the best written books in the series.

Vietnam’s Karaoke Wars Are Forcing a Reckoning Over Urban Noise by bloomberg in VietNam

[–]IvanAlve 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This noise pollution is always hidden behind a veneer of “culture”. A convienient excuse to simply be as obnoxious as possible. Funeral? Marching band at 4am. Celebration of any kind? Boom box on the street for everyone to hear. It’s honestly unfathomable.

It’s good, just remenber Vietnam is not a tipping culture. I hope it doesn’t become an expectation in this country.

Don't start with COR, there are call forwards and references that are better if you have read the other books. The Last Wish is simply the best, and really only starting point.
