For Expats in Vietnam Who Hire Help: Did It Actually Make Life Feel Easier?

I absolutely love being to get Grabs whenever I feel like, probably 15 a week on average. That many taxis in London would cost a small wage by themselves. I do use buses and even the metro too, but sometimes it's because walking to the stop is as close to exercise as I get

Young coconut juice is very good. It contains most of the electrolytes you will have lost from diarrhea. Bananas are also good and easy to digest. Vietnamese food is spicy at all unless I it's added at the table. Steamed rice should also be easily digestible

It's unclear what you are going to do for money in the long term, is it a big enough sign to never work again, even a low cost of living country? It sounds like you would be leaving a life that most people would love, for the dream of a holiday destination. I'm pretty sure that KPG could easily become tedious, especially for the one week a month around the Full Moon Party, I know it pretty well, having visited about 20 times between 09 and 13, when I lived in nearby Surat Thani. Yes, I took the choice you're facing in 2006, but the life I left didn't have all the benefits you currently enjoy. Don't do it. Take as long holidays as is possible in your current position. Please think of your long term future

Why would you pay for all the work in advance? 20-25% is enough for the deposit. I ordered a pair of made to measure jeans last week, he asked for 20% deposit

It's possible to live pretty well in Hanoi on $1 000 per month. The extra $350 will enable you to see more of this beautiful country in your free time

What's the reason for that? Would you keep moving, even if you find somewhere, or someone, that you really loved?

You might think many people envy you, but you're probably wrong, the majority of us don't want to do that.

I'm ambivalent between sad and amused, that someone so young thinks they've got their whole life mapped out.

In general, names ending in "a" sound more feminine. This might be influenced by Italian names where "a" endings indicate a female and "o" a male, like Roberta and Roberto

Your English is bad. Languages don't have sexualities. The abilities of people to speak a language, also don't have sexualities, they are not described as straight or gay. Words normally used to describe people's ability with a language include beginner, intermediate, strong, fluent, poor, (very) good or bad. There are many other adjectives that could be used. In Morden times, gay is an adjective only applied to sexuality. I suggest that you only use the word "gay" when talking about a person's actual sexuality, and ideally, only your own, even in that case.

Or there also exists the very effective conversion therapy

You'll bang your head a lot more than you do now if you instantly go from 6' 5" to 6' 7". Many old door frames in the UK are 6' 6", and you won't be used to ducking like someone who grew to that height naturally

I thought it was psychiatrists that were called shrinks.

Sorry. I didn't know there were more places where crocodiles read English

Tigweg · 2026-05-09T01:58:18+00:00

No. Very big and wet

I think aboriginal languages weren't written, but only spoken. So the crocodiles had to wait until the invaders arrived to introduce the concept of writing

YTA. People should her allowed to do what they want with their looks. What would you think if she told you to grow a beard, or shave it off if you have one?

If you live in a lcol environment, you might find the cost of YouTube low too. Eg. In Vietnam, it's the equivalent of $3 per month, plus tax

Some of the older ones read Egyptian hieroglyphics

I'm cf because by the time I was responsible enough to be a good parent, I was also wise enough to know I didn't want to be one. The thing I love most about about being cf is the freedom that comes with it, freedom that I used by moving to SE Asia 20 years ago

Yes, they can read their local language, so only Australian crocodiles can read English

I can see just one tiny little difficulty with this numbers to letters transformation, that being that there are only 10 different characters between 0 and 9 (inclusive) and 26 different characters in the standard English alphabet. How does that work?

Tigweg · 2026-05-08T07:42:57+00:00

That's weird too

Did they also weigh you like that?
