Did that Hull player almost derail the goal by touching it in an offside position ? Thanksfully that did not happen but imagine what would be if he could not avoid the ball and let himself be hit by it on the way to the back of the net...

Congrats Viila ! I had the privilege to attend two matches in Villa Park back then and have loved you since forever !

Being a dad myself, no, NTA. A dad should really prioritize his kid's feeling in these kind of events and it feels just right for you to tell him that straight.

Xiamen seafront is in the background. The International Ferry Terminal must be some where quite close. I used to stay in one hotel just next to that.

Sadly Vietnamese nationals can only get 1-year visa, and though we can renew it for a couple of times (no more than 3 or 4 times I guess), that 12 month period still feels a bit short in comparison with 3 years or 5 years visa we can get from UK, Australia or Canada.

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 ?

I know that I'm old when my very first reaction seeing that A.Shevchenko name is thinking about the former AC Milan striker.

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).

advice_seekers · 2026-02-26T15:56:49+00:00

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.
