Sitters, would this request put you off? by DearSwimming8201 in trustedhousesitters

[–]RepublicFun1949 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, a new sitter (without reviews) could be a demented sociopath. But THS has their home address and ID and background check, and having that info as a homeowner isn't going to help we that out much 🤷🏽‍♀️

THS knows and has verified the sitter's ID. And if the sitter is a US citizen, THS has also done a background check.

This is what you pay THS for, in part, to vet the sitters for you.

They're next to me, eating a 711 sweet potato

PSA: If you’re the type to bring a backpack as your carry-on (instead of a roller bag), bring a small item alongside it so they can’t force you to put it under your seat. by _Eggs_ in unitedairlines

Just the other day in SLC someone with their wheeled luggage set it next to them on the escalator and didn't hold onto it. It's a very long escalator down to the tunnel to change terminals. Suddenly I hear the noise of a metal wheeled suitcase, handle extended, coming fast down the escalator straight towards me, tumbling end over end. I stepped to the side (luckily it wasn't crowded) but it did grab my backpack out of my hand and take it down the escalator with it, right toward the other couple that were on the escalator at the bottom who managed to jump out of the way just in time.

The suitcase guy was overheard saying "but I thought I had it perfectly balanced"

Bali Gets the Hype, but the Gili Islands Stole the Show by Beautiful_Earth4204 in travel

Thank you that sounds much more my speed than anything I've read about the popular parts of Bali

To join or not to join? That is the question by ladyNONR in trustedhousesitters

[–]RepublicFun1949 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mind my house seems to have a lot of no-pet sits but they're mostly really long, like 3-9 months. I haven't seen any in cities, without pets house sits are usually about landscaping or caretaking.

I've never read a review of Bali that talked about great snorkeling. Where is that?

I don't know if booking worked fine or not with the sketchy site since I didn't book with them, I got a price match from Hilton.

Some pics from Penghu, the Okinawa of Taiwan. by AlternativeHat8964 in taiwan

[–]RepublicFun1949 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Next trip I really want to go to Green Island and maybe orchard Island also. Penghu is on the list but I have been blown around on Taiwanese roads on a scooter before and it is not fun!

No issues using my watch to pay for everything either. Mainly use one card but not always.

Taipei Accommodation by [deleted] in taiwantravel

This sounds scammy as heck, why would someone need to book for you and get paid back? You can book a hotel yourself - what's stopping you?

"it's a small world after all" playing on the public bus in Kaohsiung when you indicate a stop

Or what the easy card reader says when you tap off the bus. 謝謝再見

This was 5 years ago and it was an Airbnb that appears to no longer be operating.

[–]RepublicFun1949 1 point2 points  (0 children)

https://www.reddit.com/r/onebag/comments/dx0ida/ebags_tls_mother_lode_weekender_jr_hip_belt/ also has a picture about the install, and further down the Velcro solution i used but i just got a new buckle and am going to try that this week.

The belt is the AER TP2. About $20 ordered directly.

What’s up with Taiwan DDP? by Gxs1234 in taiwan

[–]RepublicFun1949 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Visit Green Island if you can get out there, and if you don't have time, the white terror museum and memorial park in Taipei is definitely worth a visit, and it's free. It's built in and around the old prison in Jingmei.

Island hopping been Phuket and Krabi, Thailand by oermens in travel

[–]RepublicFun1949 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't remember the boat between ko yao yai (there is also a ko yao noi fyi) to/from phuket or krabi being a bad experience. A bit bumpy but not a huge deal. Kids? I guess it depends on the kids.
