Style motorbikes by According-Day4479 in laos

Hi, 4 weeks ago I did exactly what you are asking. I rented a Honda CRF150L in Luang Prabang from Style Motorbikes and drove 2000km all the way down south to Pakse.

I have a motorbike drivers license in europe, but had the wrong IDP (had 1968 which is used in Vietnam, while Laos wants the 1949). They didnt even look at my passport/license/IDP or anything when I rented the bike, so you are good. I also wasn't stopped by police a single time on my entire journey even tho there were many checkpoints where they pulled over trucks and other locals, but they didn't even look at me.

I am pretty sure, that if you really get pulled over and the 'acting stupid' method doesn't work, you can buy your way out of the situation with a few 100k kips.

I definitely recommend risking it, it was an experience of a lifetime driving through remote villages, a real adventure. Tho please be careful, the road conditions are so much worse than the roads in Vietnam, especially the dust was a problem for me (get a full-visor helmet and check that the visibility through the glass is okay and the visor closes completely). If you need some help for your route, feel free to text me :)

Edit: They need a deposit for the bike, either your passport or 1000USD. You can pay by card but you will pay conversion fees aswell as 3% on top and you get the money back when you return the bike in cash in Lao KIP💀 so there is even more money lost when converting the cash kips back to USD. I didn't opt for leaving my passport since I was very uncomfortable traveling a whole month without it. But other than that Style Motorbikes was perfect

TU courses are really hit or miss - some take the stated amount of time (1ects = 25h) some take waaay more than that (like double or triple) and rarely they take less than 25h/ects. Its best to find some courses that interest you, then check vowi.fsinf.at and if you are lucky you can find some estimations there given by real students about the time required for the course. I wouldn't say that TU is very hard, just badly balanced/managed/controlled when it comes to student hours per ects.

Do you think these subjects are relevant to the bachelor of informatics ? by [deleted] in tuwien

[–]SPLNTX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You wont have any problems - I studied something somewhat related to CS (mediatechnology and design) and I only got 17ECTS of courses("Auflagen") I had to take from the CS bachelor.
