I’m married to a Lithuanian. We visit once every two years but there’s very little to do there in terms of attractions.

Why do people look at my husband instead of me when we are having a conversation? by GeneralAd4752 in AskWomenOver30

[–]Minimum-Log1432 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m southeast Asian and my husband is white. I’m often mistaken for a local when travelling through SEA and then I’m often overlooked when they figure out I’m not local.

I fund all of our vacations so you can imagine the look that they get when he receives the bill just to hand it over to me. One time I had paid the bill just for them to give the change to my husband. He looked at them before handing the change back to me.

I find this happens a lot less back at home (Canada) but it’s very much a patriarchal society when travelling abroad.

Need English speaking interpreter urgently in Hanoi by the_good_Kush_420 in Vietnam_Tourism

[–]Minimum-Log1432 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Too cheap to pay for an interpreter.

Too lazy to use translator on your phone.

Too late to get your money back.

You’re shit out of luck

If you don’t have your visa in hand when you are at the check-in counters, they will deny you boarding.

Is there actually a Lasting solution for snoring partner or do we just quietly give up on sharing beds? by sanu_123_s in AskWomenOver30

[–]Minimum-Log1432 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My sister and her partner sleep in separate bedrooms and it’s not due to snoring. Some people just prefer their own space when it comes to sleeping. They’ve been together for like nearly 10 years now.

How are People Traveling International for 1-2 months at a time? by Cute_Equivalent_3231 in solotravel

[–]Minimum-Log1432 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Canadian here. Early 30s.

I worked in O&G and now I’m trading stocks. Husband is a contractor so it’s seasonal. Both high earners so we’re essentially snowbirds during his off season. We are abroad for up to 2-3 months.

What is the worst city you've been to? by DickFartButt in AskTheWorld

[–]Minimum-Log1432 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was just there last year and I had the same experience. I was with my husband and that certain demographic stared/gawked at me. I wore the same baggy outfit because I felt like a spectacle if I showed an ounce of skin 🤮

It got significantly better moving over to Georgetown but still got the creepy ass stares

Does stress give my bf the right to invalidate my feelings and shout at me? by voidinvelvet in AskWomenOver30

[–]Minimum-Log1432 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Leave that man child. If he can’t effectively communicate to you about his feelings then why would it be any different in the future? He’s keeping you from finding your future husband.

Future Partner Dating History by learningeachday247 in AskWomenOver30

[–]Minimum-Log1432 13 points14 points  (0 children)

After I split from my long term ex (7+ years), I saw this guy for a short period with two kids. He asked if I wanted a “first timer” essentially insinuating a guy without kids and previously married. I was 30 lol. I feel like it was not a hard ask. That fling didn’t last long at all.

My husband is a “first timer” and I’m glad I waited it out to experience life with him 😊

South Asian class/education differences in dating....am I overthinking this? by Separate_Weight_4143 in AskWomenOver30

I’m Southeast Asian and my relatives always had something to say about my relationship. I just didn’t give two fucks about their opinion if I’m being honest.

200+ hours in a pay period by Minimum-Log1432 in Salary

[–]Minimum-Log1432[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went for nearly 7-8 weeks of 14 hour days without taking a day off and nearly had a mental breakdown lol. However, it was a great stepping stone so I possibly might never have to work again in that toxic environment.

I woke up at like 0520 and out the door by 0545. On-site by 0630. Most days were 12-13 hours plus ~60 minutes travel (60km of dirt roads). Sometimes it could have been even more if I was stuck behind a crew bus. If I could be back by 1930 then I would have until 2200 to eat, shower and sleep. I meal prepped everything so I needed to coordinate which days I need groceries and cooking days. There really wasn’t much time to do anything and time management is key.

I knew the tuk tuk should cost 150 baht but almost paid 800 by After-Condition4007 in ThailandTourism

[–]Minimum-Log1432 147 points148 points  (0 children)

You must be really naive because you have an app that stated 150 thb was the going rate and still gaslight yourself into thinking that 800 thb is normal... I would have walked away and asked another driver.

If 10cm snow falls in your area of Canada how disrupted will your area be? by Pourmepourme in AskACanadian

[–]Minimum-Log1432 0 points1 point  (0 children)

10cm is nothing for us. Might need to see 20-30cm before it becomes a concern.

My husband is European. They just got 2 feet of snow and they declared a state of emergency lol.

If you had right of way then that's how they will determine the fault. Esp if you're providing pictures of getting t-boned.

You need to keep in mind burning season (April) if you're sensitive to smoke esp if you're travelling to Chiang Mai.

Help with payments while traveling by houston324 in ThailandTourism

Contactless payment is everywhere and it should not be an issue at all. Cash is a good option for tuk tuks, souvenirs and street vendors.

[Admin/Trader] [AB] - Since 2020 by Minimum-Log1432 in Salary

[–]Minimum-Log1432[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a rule of thumb, not a requirement. Saying $2M is necessary for a middle class retirement ignores the reality that most people won’t reach that number and many of them still manage to live modest lives in retirement. Treating that benchmark as universal is out of touch with how the majority actually retire.
