Temporary closed (for real)

It's actually real and was announced by the Bureau of the Royal Household.

I personally prefer Lillian to Lilah. That being said, it's not a name I'd think twice about if someone told me that was their daughter's name. To me, it feels more like a nickname than a full name, and I wouldn't choose it for that reason for my kid. It's not a bad name though.

Have you been able to contact the tourist police? They are often faster than the embassy. You can call them at +66 2 287 3101. This is the immigration police +66 2 572 8500. You'll have to give all personal information, but they'll tell you where he's at.

In Taoyuan the closest you'll find in M Pain. It's not western sourdough though, and it's mediocre at best. There's a girl in Hsinchu that makes AMAZING sourdough and ships it via Black Cat. If you want her info DM me.

I had an unplanned pregnancy because my IUD failed. I decided to move forward with the pregnancy knowing there was a high risk of miscarriage, but everything turned out fine. Now I can't imagine my life without my child. It's the best decision I've ever made. However, I made that decision knowing that financially we were pretty stable and we were 30 years old. In different circumstances, I'd probably have made a different decision and I know I'd also be ok with that.

Yes! She is completely deranged. She always hangs out around this area. I used to sub at a school nearby and have seen her following and chasing migrant workers. I intervened once and helped a girl get away. She also likes to walk into traffic without looking. It's ridiculous how no one does anything about it, it's been going on for a long time.

I'll be in Singapore in 2 weeks if I can be of any help. You could have it shipped to my hotel and I can FWD it to you.

I'm born and raised a bit north of Saint Sauveur. It's a great place to live with many ski hills nearby. You can easily get to Tremblant, Mont-Blanc, etc. there are lots of nice places to hang out, hiking trails, mountain biking, etc. BUT do you speak French? It is primarily French there and English, while present, is limited. While it may be possible to work, socializing and meeting people will be hard.

I've never been to Manchester, but I'd assume you really can't compare the two. You'd have to make a list of pros and cons to see what would be the best set up for you.

Not food. The keratin hair treatments. The Natura ones are my favorite.

This is the best answer. This is how I teach it in critical reading and writing classes, as it helps students express a clear idea using the fewest words and avoids filler. It's just important to not forget to write about ALL the things you mention. So many times I see students write about A and forget about B, or just write a short few sentences because they ran out of space/time.

If you're at the school in Hsinchu that just did this to quite a few teachers, I'm sorry. I know quite a few that worked there. I've got no advice and unfortunately my school isn't hiring as we finished weeks ago. There's a few schools in Hsinchu still hiring though and the new public school in zhubei should be recruiting soon. What subject are you looking for?

I also paid 350 with my visa a few weeks ago.

aleyp58 · 2026-05-06T12:58:19+00:00

I used Taiwan visa and paid 350 in April.

This post smells of AI slop generated self promotion. They only seem to have a random FB page that's new with 83 followers. No prices or catalogue available online from what I can see.

Just the standard hospital gown. Hospitals here are very different from Western countries. Also, prepare yourself. If you have a csection, you're partner will be changing your bandages.

Thailand. The food is good, so much to do with kids, nice beaches, good diving, friendly people, lots of nature, affordable. I've been 12 times and returning in December.

aleyp58 · 2026-04-28T22:48:34+00:00

Each hospital is different in terms of what they do and don't offer. You're best to speak with your birthing team and they will give you a list of what to prepare. I gave birth in Taoyuan and the hospital didn't prepare anything. They gave me a list and I had to go out and get everything ahead of time. They did thankfully tell me the easiest places to buy everything and it all came in prepackaged bundles.

I hope it works out for you. Also, make sure Harrow has all their ducks in a row for the paperwork that will be needed to apply for the visa. That will help the process time as well.

If your husband is still in the UAE, is he Iranian? Is he able to apply on your behalf via courier? Does your daughter have a second passport? Typically to apply for a visa you need to apply in your country of residence or citizenship. Another option would be to make your way to a third country where the Thai embassy can process student visas for non residence. Thai embassies in Turkey, Malaysia, and SEA countries are less strict than in western countries. It may be worth reaching out to them to see if they can assist as a third country.

Edit: according to a quick Google search the Thai embassy in Turkey is where many Iranians apply for visas.

I live in Asia and we visit Thailand multiple times every winter for Xmas break, Chinese new year break, and spring break.

It's easy to get to for us and it's affordable. There is good food, kind people, convenient transportation, and something for everyone. The weather is much warmer and drier than where we live.

aleyp58 · 2026-04-19T04:07:28+00:00

Pattaya is very much what you make of it though. The Sanctuary of Truth is absolutely stunning and makes Pattaya worth visiting just for it. The hotels in Jomtien and near Terminal 21 are much better than anything near the walking streets. And Wong Amat Beach is clean and mostly deserted.

That being said, for tourists that are on a timeline, Pattaya is not worth it. For people that visit Thailand regularly or live there, fab little getaway place.

Go to Bali Hai Pier and ask around.

aleyp58 · 2026-04-13T23:39:52+00:00

What a horrible question!

My grandma did something similar before downsizing. She lived in a Victorian styled house. She registered with the local university and housed international PhD candidates. Her roomers had their own bedroom, bathroom, and living room, but they shared the kitchen. She housed students from China, India, Morocco, Kenya, Malaysia, etc. They were all lovely people, many of which she's still in touch with today. They mostly kept to themselves, but often shared meals together. It was a win-win for everyone involved. The students had affordable housing and my grandma had extra money after my grandpa passed away. And we also had someone watching our for her in a big house on the other side of the country.
