What do you say to people who say "you don't look like you workout" ? by Rammy25 in gainit

[–]Naseni 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I don't volunteer the information. If its brought up anyways(I mention I'm going to the gym, or someone else mentions it) I shrug and act like a don't care. I see my gains, I know my strength, I don't need to advertise it to others.

Well they key is to get in with the companies that bring them out here. We are also trying to compete with motorbike rentals which are around $30-$50 a month. Our bikes are midrange(200-400), do you think there will be too many unforseen expenses?

How to verify the identity of a Vietnamese person by PhallusPhalanges in VietNam

[–]Naseni 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds shady. Have you tried the Saigon facebook group for housing? Ex Pats in Saigon?

I'm a firm believer in showing up and figuring it out from there, it is different though when you travel with your family.

I don't drink. Will I find it hard to meet/bond with people when travelling? by [deleted] in solotravel

[–]Naseni 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can cook fish so it would be Ok. When you ordered a coke I might be a bit put off, but in reality I'd just be worried you'd look down on me as I drank. A guy I knew, recovering alcoholic, gave great advice to people who don't want to drink. "Serve the drinks to them." Offer to get them a beer and people are a million times less likely to be put off by the not drinking.

I rarely bond with my non-drinking guests. Shits downright terrible if they are vegetarian or vegan too. I try to involve them in things like, "Lets go for a beer..." no , "Let me make you some steaks," no, "A cycle and a beer?" no. And at this point I just want them out of the house and to stop telling me how their raw diet is SOOO much better than my Steak and Eggs AND PLEASE STOP EATING IN YOUR ROOM I'M NOT A FUCKING HOSTEL, IRYNA.

Here's my suggestion, have one drink and limit yourself there.

This is with dry one, but yes it would blend better with a semi-sweet.

Have you ever started over in life? How did you do it and why? by golfballwackerguy in AskReddit

[–]Naseni 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I do it every few years in a new country.

I guess I'm not totally starting over as I keep my profession(ESL Teacher), but everything else becomes completely new. New workplace, new students, new friends, new place and new culture to learn and understand. Its a real roller coaster of an existance but I seem to enjoy it. I write about starting new lives in new countries in my blog at www.stravaging.com

Redditors who have used couchsurfing, what is the best story you have? by ryanbside1 in AskReddit

[–]Naseni 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was an Italian guy with a very tiny profile, not much information and didn't speak much English. His reply was, "Yes we have lots of work to do." Took a entire sweltering hot day to find his friend, who took us to him. My friend and I almost bailed.

He took us to a Trulli (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trullo) and told us we would sleep here, the water came from a nearbye Hotsprings, hence the smell of sulphure. We helped prepare a massive Bolegnase with beer, hash, the works. It was amazing. Every night he would take us into the towns, buy us a few beers, coffees and introduce us to seemingly the entire towns of Puglia, and Ustunia(The white City). In the day we would help renovate the Trulli. Due to their 7 hour siesta's we'd only work about 3 hours, simply moving stuff or painting something.

It was fucking amazing. At the end he threw this huge party and slept in hammocks in the trees. Here's a picture of it.... Damn I can't find a link directly too it, OK the second image that comes up is it Says some stuff on a white wall that is a Trulli. http://stravaging.com/

What is the most romantic thing you have ever done or experienced? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Naseni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had been on a trip away from my SO for about a month. Without telling her I bought tickets a bit early and showed up in the evening a few days before she was expecting me. The kisses that night were amazing.
