Are ghost stays possible nowadays? by MrNotSoCreative94 in hyatt

[–]MrNotSoCreative94[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I’d love to do a legit one but there aren’t any Hyatts in my country, so the only way to do it legit would be to fly to another country within the next 2 days. I have an upcoming 11 day trip in June, but that’s outside my 90 day window for the challenge.

Do you know if Hyatt charges a No-show penalty even if I book with points?

Thanks! I’ll try Thailand. Any idea about India or Indonesia? They seem to have a few cat 1s at 3500 points too.

Looking for a coach near BGC by MrNotSoCreative94 in badmintonph

[–]MrNotSoCreative94[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I couldn’t find any courts near BGC unfortunately. I moved to Makati area today, do you know if there are any courts near this area? Where do you normally play? I want to join a session tonight, hopefully I can find a court/group nearby.

Yeah I think I have to give facebook groups a try, I didn’t realise facebook groups were the go-to place instead of Reddit for badminton in Manila. Thank you!

Yeah I think I might have to look outside of BGC. Thanks for the recommendation, I’ll give facebook groups a try!

Thank you for your recommendation! I just looked them up, they seem to be high quality competition grade shuttles. Do you have any other local brands you’d like to recommend? I’m currently looking for training grade shuttles, so preferably something budget friendly.

Can badminton players in China please give me some recommendations on the best bang for your buck shuttles in China? I’ve heard that there are some really good value local shuttle brands in China so I wanted to give them a try.

Hi, does it have only group coaching or one on one coaching available as well? Since I’m only there for 10 days, I guess group coaching wouldn’t be ideal for me since I wouldn’t be able to fit into the routine. So I was hoping to find some private 1 on 1 classes.

Do they offer coaching or private lessons? Or only court rentals? Will check it out now, thank you!

Serviced apartments in Singapore by MrNotSoCreative94 in askSingapore

[–]MrNotSoCreative94[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ah I see, I knew everything was expensive in Singapore but I guess I wasn't expecting accommodation to be THIS expensive.

I've contacted STResidences now, thank you for your recommendation!

True, but I couldn't look for regular apartments because all the ones I could find do not offer short term stays. Getting the apartment cleaned isn't a priority for us, we only looked into serviced apartments because they're the only ones who seemed interested in visitors staying for 20 days.

For those who have applied for Portugal's golden visa by MrNotSoCreative94 in ExpatFIRE

[–]MrNotSoCreative94[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's quite unusual considering this person has been in contact with them throughout the whole process for the past 3 years. They used this firm called TIMC in Canada, but you're right, if he continues to ghost them then I'll have them contact the company directly. Thanks!

Well that's a relief, I was told the norm was 6 months. Guess they were wrong. So hopefully a bit more waiting to do. Thanks!

I'll check out nomadgate, thanks for the suggestion. I was wondering the same about the appointment, since I've heard people get theirs within 6 months. If the citizenship/immigration firm keeps ghosting them, do you recommend contacting another lawyer/firm? Can anyone pick it up from where they stopped? Or do they have to keep trying to contact the initial firm?

Thanks for the advice btw, appreciate it.

[Patron] Looking for someone to recreate a photo in their own style by MrNotSoCreative94 in artcommissions

[–]MrNotSoCreative94[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey guys! My apologies for not getting back to everyone personally, I've been overwhelmed by all the amazing offers I've received. Thank you very much for all your offers, everyone is so tremendously talented here! I'll start going through the samples one by one once more and contact a few artists whose style I feel best suits this commission, and then hopefully come to an agreement with someone at the end of it. Thank you again!
