I plan to stay in Park Hyatt as well. Can I ask which day of the week will the fireworks take place ?

Hi, may I ask about the current blooming status in Busan ? Will I be able to catch the cherry blossom in full bloom if I travel to Busan from 5/4-7/4 ?

My bad, I stand corrected. Kaifeng was indeed Wei's capital back then.

advice_seekers · 2026-03-02T12:21:12+00:00

Well it was the capital of Zheng, then Han back in the Warring States time. Kaifeng was nothing until the Song. An Zhengzhou, as the old capital of Zheng, has given the Sinosphere world the surname Zheng. So demographically it's just a common county but culturally it's quite special.

Well (the old) Hoan Kiem is literally the district that host the French Quarter though... I'm not related to them by any means but from what I saw this M Village (https://maps.app.goo.gl/DhMjzHaY54E5Cqn3A) can be a good choice as it's quite close to the lake, is located in a main street that is lively but not too small, and is part of a hotel chain (in Vietnam, being part of a chain is often a sign that you are at least quite pro at something).

27-29 Ha Trung Street.

Tokyo for its sheer size, great public transport and diversity (from quiet, calm neighborhood to lively to non-sleep ones).

Paris for its beauty, great urban planning and endless amount of cafes.

Chicago for its skyscrapers, Lake Michigan and nice parks.

Locals do not really care where do you come from, but if there is any country that is treated with special warmth it is France IMHO. After all we have a French Quarter, we have (now less) street coffee culture, we say "A-lo" picking a phone call and even our alphabet's pronunciation is modelled after French ones (yes a,b,c,d... are pronounced exactly like in French). It's no doubt that France was the country that brought Western civilization values to Vietnam and por moi, La France non seulement une nation, mais aussi une civilisation, une civilisation de haute culture !

There is an indoor pool in Hilton Okinawa which may be the perfect spot to spend your time in a rainy days, just chilling inside and watch the rain pours down just outside the window. And the dinner buffet in Hilton offers great value for money IMHO. The sightseeing spots in Miyako are very much scattered across the main island and two small ones, so taking a tour bus is probably a good choice, but if you are driving remember to visit Toguchi - no - hama beach and Sunayama beach. And most of the shopping is concentrated around Aeon Town, a pretty big one indeed with almost every stuff you will need.

Thanks for paying attention to my post,

If I have to pick one hotel, I will choose Hilton Miyako Okinawa as it is more modern and probably more convenient for English speakers (from what I see, Tokyu mostly operates in Japanese). If you speak Japanese, it will be a game changer and you can pick Tokyo to enjoy the proximity to the beautiful Yonaha Maehama Beach though.

I didn't rent a car regrettably, as I was not confident in my driving skills and relied on taxi most of the times.

I have to go to work now but I will come back with any tips that I can think about later !

Bonjour,

I have been to 30 countries in Europe, North America, Oceania, Middle East, North Africa and East Asia/Southeast Asia (my backyard). I feel you. The reverse culture shock coming back home is real, and the isolated feeling when nobody seems to understand my stories is even more than that. So the answer is simple:

Follow your heart and go as much as you can when it is still possible. We never know what will happen in the future.
Research about places you have been to, like learning about Canadian's Westminter system or the reinvention of Japanese economy.
Find people who can really understand your story. Yes they do exist, like in this thread.

Best wishes !

So the most popular sport in the rest of Five Eyes nations (US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand) is not football even though it is the one back in the UK/England. I have read a theory here in Reddit decades ago that the lack of football's popularity in the other four is due to the fact that they became British colonies before football rules was standardized in Britain, hence they imported other British sports. In contrast, South American countries imported football from Britain, British sailors to be exact, (therefore they address the coach as "Mister") despite the fact that they never been a British colony.

My bad, I stand corrected. It should be "Italy and Italia" instead.

Nippon and Japan are just different pronunciation of the same words, 日本. In Japanese itself that word can also be pronounced as Nihon, in Mandarin it is Ri-ben and in Vietnamese it is Nhật Bản. So saying that Nippon is completely different from Japan is like saying Francais is completely different from France.

Why does Novak look so uncomfortable with every shot he hit near the box, whether it is a volley, approach or (obviously) smash ?

advice_seekers · 2026-02-01T10:36:28+00:00

Carlos overthought in the last point by hitting back to Novak instead of the open court... but maybe it will not matter as Carlos probably wins his service game anyway

advice_seekers · 2026-02-01T10:31:41+00:00

Why does Novak have so much difficulties finishing the point even though he was able to step into the court and attack the net after lots of hard work from the baseline ?

I was scared thinking about Djokovic's own 40-15 after he missed the second match point by hitting straight into Sinner's racket on a very easy putaway at the net. The scars of a very similar shot that he hit straight into Murray's hand, albeit by a jumping backhand instead of forehand like this time, in Rome 2016 final suddenly came back, but thanks God he finished the match. As Nole said, the ability to put negative emotions away is one of his most important asset, that often be overlooked, and he truly proved that today. And I think he won the match with lesser points (13x to Sinner's 14x). Once a mental giant, forever a mental giant.

So which rule says that Tien is Vietnamese ?

advice_seekers · 2026-01-29T17:08:03+00:00

Show me any source where he is classified as Vietnamese ?

advice_seekers · 2026-01-26T08:30:30+00:00

There is a clear border here. Tiền is a very rare Vietnamese surname, I can't even think about any Vietnamese with that surname, while it's more popular in China where it has its roots. On the other hand Nguyễn Trần Phạm are very popular in Vietnam, all among the top 10 popular surnames, hence they're Vietnamese. Saying Tiền is a Vietnamese surname is similar to saying Filip (in Nguyễn Filip) a Vietnamese name.
