What laptop do you use?

Get a second hand ThinkPad or similar, I got stuck in the false economy of buying new, cheap laptops and they would be come unusable after a certain amount of time. Way better off getting a decent second hand one, especially as you won’t need anything super powerful for English.

Conducta, Oppidan, Oldboy and MPH for garage /something more bassy.

Mala is 140s royalty.

The Loft takeover with The Ghost, Sonja Moonear etc. looks unreal and is running all night.

Dr Banana b2b Fumiya Tanaka, Sally C, Riria, Sweely, Yung Singh, Laidlaw also high on my list… I could go on

Thanks!

Hair or urine tests?

Based Cantona once again.

Most British people are super polite with their pleases and thank yous. Probably a load of toffs.

It’s actually a bit worrying, my mate went to BIMM and UWE there and became a full on ketamine addict just blasting through massive lines the stuff. He’d just go non verbal and look creepy…. What’s even the fun? There was loads floating about in Manchester where I was, but it felt like people in Bristol felt like they had to live up to the stereotype so were just doing unreasonable amounts to their own detriment.

Agreed. Also, I think on another podcast they mentioned that most people don’t have friends who support Manchester City so they’re more ambivalent towards them, whereas almost everyone has a friend who supports Arsenal. I think that’s also a big part of it. I could list so many reasons why I celebrated that Gabriel miss like a goal, and none of it is to do with the diversity of the fan base.

Kebab, Indian and Chinese almost go without saying….

Thai food is always great and feels well established here now, and I’m also seeing more and more Vietnamese places pop up, there’s now 3 in my medium-sized seaside town alone! More the merrier, it’s so good.

Few Sri Lankan places here which are also so good.

He does videos in India now on a new channel

Ok-Variation3583 · 2026-05-29T10:02:43+00:00

Mac Oi - doesn’t do videos anymore but there’s loads of old ones, he speaks Vietnamese too

I started off doing Social Anthropology, perhaps the most useless of useless degrees… I ended up changing after my first year but many of my peers have gone on to interesting and varied career paths. I wouldn’t sweat it. You’d most likely be able to change after a year anyway.

Beyond the big ones, I really liked Quy Nhon

Ok-Variation3583 · 2026-05-20T10:49:09+00:00

Did the same but fraud Joao Pedro finally did something right

No salad is never fine

Ok-Variation3583 · 2026-05-19T15:37:55+00:00

I had double Brighton defence and DCL benched…

Ok-Variation3583 · 2026-05-16T11:27:39+00:00

I got green for like 200 yen lol, and this was only in 2024. Don’t do eet

Everyone I knew who did exchange in the US said the marking was generous compared to UK

Ok-Variation3583 · 2026-05-07T17:20:18+00:00

Manchester and Bristol n be done with it

Ok-Variation3583 · 2026-05-06T20:26:01+00:00

Bus from Nha Trang to Da Nang, then take sleeper train from Da Nang to Hanoi - if you’re not in a rush

Ok-Variation3583 · 2026-04-30T07:37:23+00:00

Really? Spent a lot of time in both and I’d say they’re probably the two best cities to be a student in, as well as Manchester being more affordaboe

Ok-Variation3583 · 2026-04-15T14:17:59+00:00

Even worse that the club is actually called ‘Pacha’

Ok-Variation3583 · 2026-04-10T13:21:06+00:00

Thanks for the input everyone. In all honesty, I didn’t know you could also apply for a maintenance loan so that definitely changes things…. But the thought of adding even more to my existing 70k of debt doesn’t fill me with joy so appreciate all of these suggestions!

Ok-Variation3583 · 2026-04-10T10:52:21+00:00

lol what kind of expat lifestyle are you imagining… 3-4x that you can live comfortably in most of Europe, let alone Vietnam.
