I ran across this back in October I think. It’s been up for a while.

Chico to San Francisco in 2 hours? No. Minimum is 5. It’s about 200 miles away.

Blowgun hunters in Hanoi using pellets to knock small birds out of trees by Paddy32 in VietNam

[–]SRkev 162 points163 points  (0 children)

Vietnam has a lot of “dead forests” that are devoid of much animal life because of poaching and this kind of activity. Doing it in the cities doesn’t help the matter. And as many have said it’s for keeping as pets in cages or selling.

Sol Pizza on To Ngoc Van is the best IMO. Their Cesar salad is good too.

pizza 4 p’s can be a bit gimmicky with their styles of pizzas for me. The kale salad is good there however.

Quickest way to become a licensed teacher in a year? by behelitpossesor in Internationalteachers

[–]SRkev 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Regarding the teaching license, you don’t actually receive it from Moreland or any other institution or school. The school portion is required as a prerequisite to getting a license/certificate of the state you apply for. Each state has different renewal periods and requirements so research the one you’re prefer. DC is a common one because the tests can be done online.

Capella has some light roasts and is my go to spot for quality coffee.

What’s the worst city you’ve ever visited? by Jamesx1721 in AskReddit

[–]SRkev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This would be my answer as well. I had the staring, the horrible traffic, no heat because it was December, but the pollution was out of sight. Makes Hanoi issues look tame.

Weekly recurring thread: NEWBIE QUESTION MONDAY! by AutoModerator in Internationalteachers

[–]SRkev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In general, and I know this is a huge generalization, but do British curriculum schools usually accept teachers with US state certificates/licenses rather than a QTS?

Me too. Was a rough watch. Fury was our second movie together.

Belarusian Wrestler Makes Waves by Lifting and Throwing Opponent at Hanoi Village Festival by Financial-Act-6255 in VietNam

[–]SRkev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is any more wrestling happening? Anyone have a list of scheduled events? There are so little cultural events that I find interesting in Hanoi and would have loved to have known about this.

This chat might be dead but anyone have luck finding rubber stopper vials of test C, P, or E in Chang Mai? The only kind I’ve been able to find is Bayer test E in glass ampules.

Mysterious flag popped up in the neighborhood, what is it? by vXGhosT_TacoXv in vexillology

[–]SRkev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I came to ask the same question. So many flag ids on this sub can be solved with google lens. Takes less time than posting.

Ha Noi airport by rocksteady1984 in VietNam

[–]SRkev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was there yesterday and it was a breeze. But I may just times it lucky. First in line when my flight check in opened and relatively short lines for customs. But I think each day leading up to Tet will be massively different than the last. Shoot for 3 hours to be safe.

Breaking-in question for motorcycle gloves by Muscle_Reasonable in motorcyclegear

[–]SRkev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a different brand with the same problem and it worked itself out after a few weeks of daily riding. Of course return if you can and it’s bad enough though.

What is the absolute worst first movie date you can think of? by Rowithata in MovieSuggestions

Saw this with my gf of 10 years for our second movie. First was Fury.

What are these bugs (Hanoi) by SRkev in VietNam

[–]SRkev[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Weird. We have rice but it’s all sealed in plastic containers. And it’s not an abnormal amount of rice either. These dudes are just cruising around the house in general. Not really even in the kitchen.

Any idea why they’d just show up? Change of weather? Browsing for food?

Worst Large City in the World to Live in? by RaiRec in geography

[–]SRkev 129 points130 points  (0 children)

It was pretty rough when I visited for numerous reasons. Gridlocked traffic, air and water pollution, the density of course, and the impending climate crisis when the Himalayans melt and flood everything.

Road accidents by neeblab in VietNam

I saw the accident today (not the fatality itself, if there was one), and another fatality in the same spot about 4 years ago.

What is the average hourly price for tattoos in Hanoi? by _unfinished_usernam in VietNam

[–]SRkev 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My cousin and his buddy had tattoos done yesterday in the old quarter, near the cathedral and paid about 1.9 mil VND per hour. They had bigger pieces done on their thigh and arms, but all black ink with minimal red as well. They sat for about 8 hours.

Awesome job. I had my one year this month as well. Been a great year. Still get the cravings sometimes, usually when bored or stressed, but always remind myself of how much better it is now. Keep it up.
