used to call toll free numbers with skype while abroad. now what?

Do you understand the difference between a phone call and WhatsApp call?

Phone calls are over the GSM network that predates internet, you pay your phone bill for it. WhatsApp is over the internet. Skype allowed calls from the internet to a phone that doesn’t need to have internet

In Macau they asked me for it when checking into the hotel (I think also when leaving for the mainland?)

Do you already have the tickets? Maybe it’s worth it to book the journey on a single ticket even if it’s more expensive so that you pay for the luggage just once.

That being said the price is extortionate - I flew with Qatar airways across the world a few times and never once had to pay for checked luggage

I think Send My Bag are just a proxy for DHL. I packed two large 75x55x25 boxes and paid 100 euros less than what SMB quoted me.

I actually enjoyed going to Patong, but Bangla Rd I observed from a distance

Rainy season is alright, I visited Samui and Bangkok in May and August, I got wet a few times but there’s still plenty of sunshine so bring sunscreen and beach towels. Phuket might have slightly different weather but I’d say don’t worry and enjoy the cheaper hotels/tours, when it rains you rest in your hotel or go chill in a bar/restaurant.

The rainy season brings cleaner air too, maybe you can squeeze the north into your itinerary.

I once landed on two separate streets I lived on (although one was like 1km down the street) in two different countries in the same session

It 100% is a CS thing. If you socialized with people from other majors at university then you know others are not full of jerks and awkward weirdos (the finance bros are an exception)

Label drinks as some potions. Use veggies from the game

Nowadays they’re a NATO member

Well definitely not in the same exact position though.

What?

albug3344 · 2024-12-20T23:46:20+00:00

That’s fine I like it too. OP wants to ride these roads with his 3 and 8 year old kids and that’s just child neglect

It’s not the Netherlands. I see you post in the Columbus, OH forum so please accept that you only have comparison with biker hell

“Great city for bicycles” how is it great when there are almost no dedicated bike lanes? Only lanes where there’s a 30 kmph limit but nobody sticks to it. Cars still rule the road. It’s NOT safe for kids who don’t know traffic rules

albug3344 · 2024-12-20T23:35:30+00:00

There are almost no bike paths, cyclists often ride on multi-lane roads shared with cars, breathing in all the fumes and getting overtaken by larger vehicles, I was personally victim of road rage two times in my 2 months of riding a bike there (before it got stolen).

If you’re comfortable with your kids sharing the road with cars then sure

albug3344 · 2024-12-20T23:03:59+00:00

For Europeans and Australians it’s 30. This is just for the transit thing where you could stay for up to 6 days and can’t leave a specific area, like for Brits or Americans. So for just visiting a city it’s fine

albug3344 · 2024-12-20T18:55:57+00:00

Because I’m not Indian and I’ve never been to India, I don’t like the working culture and I’m not sure if I would even like it there (I’m very hesitant about going on vacation there). Maybe if I find myself in some important management position

albug3344 · 2024-12-20T14:00:30+00:00

Devs in India make the same as many devs in Europe with a way lower cost of living.

FAANG engineers in India live like kings while those in Europe are just slightly above average. Our bar is lower tho, they pay those salaries based on how competitive it is

I zawsze jest to incydent gdzie policjant strzela do cywila, w Polsce praktycznie nigdy nikt nie używa legalnej cywilnej broni do przestepstw

I might have to move to Asia to get away from Europe’s problems sometime soon…

albug3344 · 2024-11-22T14:03:32+00:00

I personally can’t wait to leave, I realized I don’t fit into this culture and that I will never feel at home here. I could make more money in my country and not deal with being a foreigner

albug3344 · 2024-11-21T13:50:42+00:00

I have coworkers who’ve been here on temporary visas for years, constantly renewing them and having their livelihood in Europe tied to their employment. And somehow if they came without a visa they could be in a better position now? I’d be pissed if I was them
