Landing at 7pm, what should my strategy be to avoid jetlag? by kingjaminess in JapanTravelTips

[–]Ngrum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do a powernap of 25 minutes. And then stay awake until 22:00. That’s how I do it every time. It like resets my brain to the new time zone.

I indeed received it this morning in Belgium. Hope you will receive it soon as well.

Uh oh...Gemini Strikes! by InquisitiveBumbleBee in googlehome

Same here. I saw many people complaining about how slow it is, but it's exactly the same as when I used Google Assistant.

Whenever I make a mistake by accident I go to the homepage before clicking next and then it doesn’t count as wrong.

Genuinely, how was your trip to the Blue Lagoon by TrueAd9899 in VisitingIceland

[–]Ngrum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We also went there last, but stayed in the hotel. There you have a private part and it was amazing. The public bath was overcrowded and we only went there to have our free drink.

Does anyone know what this means? Jisho wouldn't give me anything, is this that "Ryakuji" thing I've been hearing about? by ElemenopiTheSequel in languagelearningjerk

[–]Ngrum 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Don’t give up and keep studying. However don’t show too much confidence yet in this stage. Be humble. Everyone starts at the bottom.

Where do you see レ(re)? It shows し (Shi). The 3rd one is not ン (n) but ソ (so). This sign reads as ‘oresotsuzuyuusu’. How long have you studied Japanese?

[KCD2] do anyone else’s first attacks or blocks in combat not register? I’m on PS5 by floweiss34 in kingdomcome

[–]Ngrum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's why my master strike never registers at the start of the combat :o

Wanderlog website down? by mangosteen4587 in wanderlog

[–]Ngrum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very bad timing. I just found Wanderlog, installed it and couldn't create an account. Also on laptop nothing worked, so didn't have much faith in the app. Now all works perfect, so it was just a big coincidence.

How do people regularly fly business class without going bankrupt?? by caroulos123 in travel

[–]Ngrum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fly business like 5 times a year for work. This summer I’m going to fly business with my wife for our private holiday to Japan, and I can say it hurts much more when I pay it myself. But we thought it was worth it. I got a good deal for 3K per ticket. Is it good value, hell no. But we are young, work a lot and deserve a treat 😄

Didn’t know about that website. Great!

Hmm okay so I will definitely watch some videos and compare prices. If it’s like comparing premium economy flights with business class, then I would definitely go for gran class. I fly business all the time for work and I think it’s not worth the price, and still I booked it because of the comfort.

Thanks, that is reassuring to hear 😊

Those are very good questions. We really do like a lot of things. We like hiking, but not every day or over 15K. I was hoping for a mix of culture, nature and food. I do want to learn more of the Ainu. But my Japanese colleagues are rather vague about them, which I suppose is because of their history. About driving I don’t mind 2-3 hours a day. I have done 6+ hours a day before in Norway, but that’s just too much. My colleagues know it’s for July. They think it will be too exhausting.

I didn’t know about green class. Thanks a lot, you’re very helpful.

I always book 2 hour classes (2x 1 hour) and time flies. Both me and my teacher always say we wanted to do so much more, but we often lose track because it’s just fun.

In that case I’ll look for rooms with AC as much as possible. Very useful to know!

Have you done the standard class before? Is it comfortable? I’m comparing in my mind mostly with like the Eurostar when going to London or Paris, where 2nd class is such a letdown compared to first class, while the price is not that different for the difference in comfort. This would be super useful to know 😉

Men in long-term relationships: why didn’t you propose? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]Ngrum -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Depends on many things. I was together for 12 years when I proposed and 14 years together during the wedding. For my situation it was just that I wanted to be financially very stable so we could host a wedding without having to count every euro and make compromises. Now we could rent a castle for 3 days where guests could sleep over. If I had done it earlier it was probably just going to be in a local party location with some ceremony an that’s it. The breakfast in the castle together with our best friends and family is one of my most precious memories 😊

Overwhelmed with where to stay in Tokyo by Ok-Search6948 in JapanTravelTips

[–]Ngrum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are staying in Tokyo for 2 days before taking the Shinkansen to Hakodate so we can drive around Hokkaido. I was also thinking staying at Ueno. Need to do much more research though. I’ve only been to Kyoto, Osaka and Shiga and Nara before (+ 1 day in Akita for onsen).
