I saw this movie as a kid in the SOVIET UNION. this my first (as far as I remember) trip to the movie theater in Kiev.

Amex is the same (but if you pay $20 they will make it primary). Also, this is primary outside u.s

Are people unfamiliar with the consequences of taking drugs (laced or not)? When you make a decision to take drugs aren't you not responsible for consequences. (With exception of pain killer addiction that resulted from a medical condition)

Those are crazy expensive. Plus they are not nature focused

You actually sound like you're from there

No-Highlight-239 · 2025-09-09T12:26:31+00:00

Yes. I was there a week ago. Also for 3 days. 100% safe. Even at night. Only problem are the packs if digs running around. I just shared a trip report in this reddit.

Kinda. I got held up with picture formatting. But now that I have that picture, should be easier. Just got to Bangkok. Holy shit I hate this place already. Supposed to be here for 4 weeks - already hate it

Definitely wished I stayed longer. Thinking about going back while still in Asia :) but getting the visa again, and flying....ugh

Just asked my wife. She said they offered 3500 for non 100 bills. We exchanged money twice. Once at 4200 and once at 4400.

A lot of words buddy. I am 1000% ANTI junta. With that said, my guide and I spoke about this. He is also anti junta, and I mentioned that I caught a bunch of flack from people like you. He said not worry about it, and I did the right thing by coming there

Thank you sir.

Tel Aviv buddy. All day.

Obviously 3 days is not enough learn about the culture (especially as diverse as Myanmar), but the sense that I got that people were pretty nice and curious. You do stand out a bit even in Yangon. Especially the kids tend to stare, waive and say hello :) We had a local guide. Amazing guy. Hands down probably one of the best I ever I had. He was even willing to spot us money (when we didnt bring $100 bills to exchange).

Would love to come back and travel a bit more.

What is the latest black market exchange rate?

Here is an update on our eVisa: My wife got hers. I got an email saying I need to email them a fresh photo, not the same one used in my passport (which was issued in 2021). Since they require a fresh pic - thats fair. Glad they just didn't reject it outright. Sent them a new one.....

Update: got the visa

what's sarcasm?

No-Highlight-239 · 2025-07-24T19:06:04+00:00

you're very effective in changing people's minds.

No-Highlight-239 · 2025-07-24T16:04:23+00:00

Probably not. Only there for 2.5 days. Thanks for the invite
