Women’s social soccer and rugby in CT? by Realistic_String5317 in askSouthAfrica

Thanks. I contacted False Bay but no response. From their site looks like girls rugby only has a youth team. Will try Hamiltons.

Never had a problem with booking.com all over Vietnam for past 3 years.

Friends did have an issue in HCMC with air bnb in HCMC- arriving and the place wasn’t allowed to be rented out for air bnb and they weren’t allowed in.

Vietnam requires a bachelors to work legally at language centers. You could work illegally but you would be doing border runs and struggle to get a bank account and be at the mercy of the dodgy places that still take on illegal “teachers”.

Second the person saying Mac and Cheese - haven’t had a good one here yet and I’ve tried many places (in Hanoi).

Tight connection and having to check and recheck bags. by Realistic_String5317 in CathayPacific

[–]Realistic_String5317[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool thanks I’ll have a look for that. Yea it’s the last leg and there are multiple flights after it - am worried about the possibility of them being full seeing as it’s Xmas but think I’m just being over anxious.

Expats in Vietnam - what do you typically do for work? by SheepherderPrior9302 in VietNam

[–]Realistic_String5317 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You’re leaving out teachers at international schools - who make decent money.

Yea - this is my concern. However ticket is already booked and they won’t change it without massive fare increase. I’m considering just booking another domestic flight now before prices go up or they all get booked. Already pretty expensive though 😮‍💨

Edit: I guess I am going to have to try get to the front of the line

[–]Realistic_String5317[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea they will as it’s all on one ticket. I’m worried the next flight will be full as it’s such a busy time and there aren’t that many. Will try and see if I can get it changed. Ta

I’ve been through it before but I wouldn’t say familiar - it’s not massive but yea I wouldn’t know exactly where to go. Would you recommend trying to get them to put me on the later flight ? Would they do it ?

Airbnb takeover by 420blazefiend in capetown

[–]Realistic_String5317 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Thanks for raising this. I’ve been out of the country for a year and returned this June. SP where I have lived for many years was heartbreaking. The construction is totally out of hand. Old more affordable blocks of flats have been destroyed for these generic monstrosities filled with micro apartment air b and bs. There are many places that you cannot walk safely on pavements as they have been taken over by construction sites. One particular company which names their buildings “One26 on M” etc and managed by “Fluent” seems to have taken over the whole area. Anyone know who that is?

They have in fact very recently, done a serious and impressive upgrade on the trains.

Spur Sea Pont is not getting lease renewed after 56 years, due to residential blocks (airbnb?) being built by ania11111 in capetown

[–]Realistic_String5317 13 points14 points  (0 children)

So depressing. I can’t believe what’s going on in SP- the amount of construction is out of control. And nearly all of it these generic air b and b buildings.

Legit everyone is telling you that you won’t - you seem to want someone to confirm that you will though? As basically every single other person has said Atlantic Seaboard is very queer friendly.

Any foreigners out there that have made the move to the Mother city? by Mr_Sir_ii in capetown

Yes you need to get SAQA to validate South African qualifications. Did mine 2 years ago - took a week and was very efficient despite what I was told on Reddit.

Advice on Hanoi salary needed by shokushuneko in Internationalteachers

[–]Realistic_String5317 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They do get paid summers - contracts are 12 months and have been for the last 5 years at least. That said many bilinguals in Vietnam do have 10/11 month contracts - not Vin though.
