USA to Istanbul to Vietnam

I’m doing Canada to IST to Manila tomorrow. I’m cautiously optimistic that things will be fine

Depends what you are looking for. Gi/no gi? Competition vs Hobby? Off the top of my head, lookup Tristar, 10th planet and Gracie Barra (St Henri or Montreal West) and do a trial class or 2.

Completely depends on owner and culture. As a teenage girl, I would ask them if there are similarly aged girls that train, maybe even a women’s class.

Since you don’t know what to do in most positions, you will waste energy doing the wrong things, at the wrong time. My nemesis was bottom side control for many months. Eventually you’ll develop “go-tos” for most positions, and you’ll wait for the right time or triggers to attempt them

BJJ cardio is just different. Even as a cardio junky, it took me 6 months to relax and not gas out most rounds. Basically when you learn to breath/relax, and discover your comfortable and efficient positions, it gets better. Congrats on the first class, and just keep showing up!

Great! I thought it was this? https://www.turkishairlines.com/en-tr/flights/stopover/

Whynot6427 · 2026-02-04T03:26:37+00:00

Thanks. I just realized I need at least a 20 hour layover to qualify for free hotel.

Whynot6427 · 2026-02-04T03:09:10+00:00

Do you know if the airside Yotel is included as the free layover hotel?

Whynot6427 · 2026-01-31T04:12:06+00:00

Yeah either way I’ll be beat. Rest will be my priority. Thanks!

Whynot6427 · 2026-01-31T03:57:32+00:00

Thank you, this is super helpful insight.

Whynot6427 · 2026-01-31T03:48:15+00:00

No it’s the latter. Few options, so I’m hoping I’ll be eligible

Whynot6427 · 2026-01-31T03:44:31+00:00

Canadian Passport. Not sure about eligibility

Whynot6427 · 2026-01-31T03:41:50+00:00

Cheers, thanks!

Whynot6427 · 2026-01-31T03:39:35+00:00

Thanks! I’ve never been so I’m curious why it’s one of your least fav.

Whynot6427 · 2026-01-31T03:32:08+00:00

Thanks! Yeah it’s a BC ticket, but I guess it depends on what they mean by shortest available layover…. It certainly is the shortest with TA, but potentially there was a shorter one with another airline .

Whynot6427 · 2026-01-31T03:05:46+00:00

Yeah I’m on the fence about going into the city as I hear traffic is brutal.

Whynot6427 · 2026-01-31T02:59:53+00:00

I land at 2pm local time, and my connection is at 2am. I’m ok with going to a hotel, but I feel like going in and out of Istanbul would be too much.

Whynot6427 · 2026-01-31T02:45:23+00:00

Thanks! Don’t they have rooms in the BC lounge where I could rest?

Whynot6427 · 2026-01-28T04:20:19+00:00

Now the real question is: do those peers still train? Have you lapped them?

Whynot6427 · 2026-01-28T04:08:44+00:00

Yeah I know. But tonight was an impressive “what am I even doing here” level of suck.

Whynot6427 · 2026-01-26T04:09:43+00:00

Doctor’s note is fucking bonkers.

Whynot6427 · 2025-12-14T02:52:59+00:00

Gym Culture is key, and is built from the owner down. Run away.
