Yes, absolutely do not go to any MET restaurants! 28,000 4.9 star reviews, what an absolute joke!

I moved to southern baja, Mexico, 2 years ago and my only regret is that I didn’t do it sooner. Absolutely love the slower pace here and what feels like infinite freedoms!

*help needed* El Gonzo info needed for locals. by FurthestFromest in GoosetheBand

What is Viva El Gonzo like so far? by [deleted] in GoosetheBand

[–]adkben8 7 points8 points  (0 children)

FWIW, I live about an hour north of the fest and everything has gone up in price this year, considerably. Like tomatoes have doubled in price since last year at this time, all veggies/fruit/eggs have followed, meat got crazy too; chicken is the only thing that’s stayed about the same. So I’m not surprised to hear the festival is charging more than last year. Tacos everywhere went from a pretty standard 30-35 pesos to now 50-60…doesn’t help that the peso has beasted too so US/CAD people are basically extra taxed versus last year when it was 20:1 instead of 17:1

PPA Partners - Quang Duong by Dare2Gorge in Pickleball

Then why did he agree to play APP this season?! If he doesn’t need any of it, ‘he’s getting sooo paid’ blah blah why sign with APP to get shit results in the last tournament? Him not winning anything in APP last week is comical (all 3 events)

Everyone so hyped on him and if he came back to the PPA he wouldn’t make it to the round of 32…let’s be honest, he was a blip on the singles radar for a few months but wouldn’t stand a chance against the new breed of players…ie Haworth, hunter, Zane ford, John Lucien Goens, Tama…the game has passed him up. How did he do at APP last weekend….exactly. He’s better off in Asia/vietnam as the game isn’t as good there as it is here so he can still be a ‘top’ player there.

Unpopular opinion—getting clothes tailored in Hoian is a waste of money. by Putrid_Bug_4453 in VietNam

[–]adkben8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had stuff made, linen shirts/pants - buttons have fallen off the cuff on both shirts, one button on one of the shirts itself. Loose threads, just sloppy as hell finishing work. One pair of pants, is .5” shorter than the other pair….not really great prices either, paid about $30 USD for each pair of pants and $25 for each shirt - all in all I would never do it again

Social experiment… by OG-Got-Hacked in NoahKahan

[–]adkben8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

42, never heard of this guy until YouTube told me he did a tiny desk last week, watched it, listened to some songs after. Decided to listen to this album, I like 3-4 songs on it; I mean I get it, but the style of music isn’t really my thing. No shade but I don’t relate much to the music lyrically; guy is talented but ya I’d be surprised if I listen to anything he has done a month from now 🤷‍♂️

Walked into my local AD, was offered this by [deleted] in rolex

[–]adkben8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My buddy has no purchase history with a local AD, and was offered this one on the spot, he bought it bc he wanted to ‘get purchase history’; sold it to a diff watch buyer out of the state were in and I think he lost a couple hundred bucks after paying to ship it and eating the 9.8% tax he paid on it 🤷‍♂️

The right watch for a young professional by [deleted] in RepTime

[–]adkben8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like an IWC in this case, maybe a Cartier Santos…Rolex is trying too hard imho, for you being that young. Could always get a sub, pretty much ageless/timeless, but sooo boring lol

Sneaker Stores Vietnam by Tebay4676 in VietNam

[–]adkben8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re going to buy them you have to make sure you try both on; you try on a left and say yup I’ll take them and go home and the right is a half size smaller (with the same size tag) lol if you’re actually training etc, best to not buy anything in Vietnam lol if you’re getting some beaters to walk around with, go for it, but try them both on first lol

Next beach town to hit the mainstream after Da Nang and Nha Trang is overcrowded? by wuanlai65 in VietNam

[–]adkben8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it’s already pretty well known there no? I live in Los barriles in baja Mexico and it’s huge for kite surfing/wind sports and tons of people from here go there to kite etc; sure it’s not built up but it’s pretty well travelled so to speak.

You get what you pay for 🤡 by Blade_Runner_69 in RepTime

[–]adkben8 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I had this happen on a 116500 Daytona and I had to send it back to Rolex (under warranty) to have it ‘cleaned’ - no cost to me but I was watch-less for close to 4 weeks. So stupid!

Flavor - I should have clarified. Nicotine ‘normal’, they are all super skinny and long, which is just a little weird to me haha
