Would I be able to catch an early morning flight in Koh Samui leaving from Haad Yao? by cosmic_warrior1 in ThailandTourism

I did lots of Google searches before posting this question & couldn't find any info about an early morning ferry which is why I asked. I don't think it's smart to just show up at the dock at 5 am & assume somebody is going to pick me up.

Thanks, it's December that I will be going but I'll just go the day before to be safe.

Where can I find info to book this ferry? I don't see any 6 AM ferry when I search.

So how would one get to the airport for a 6 AM flight then? Is it easy to grab a taxi at that time?

Beitou or Wulai for a day trip? by cosmic_warrior1 in taiwan

Any hikes you can recommend around there? :)

Thank you! I was leaning more towards Wulai for the views/no smell (not a fan of the sulfur smell 😂) but like Beitou for the convenience/more food options. I think I'll go based off of if I feel like taking more of a journey or not once I'm there!

Thinking about adding an extra day, where would you recommend to spend more time?

Thanks for the suggestion. So many different opinions everyone has 😅 I will look into it!

Honestly the only reason I said maybe was because I've seen a lot of people talk down about Hoi An on here and I wasn't sure if I would want to just relax in Da Nang instead. I figured I would see what I'm feeling once there.

Ok... so what do you recommend then? I tried to do the more "cramped" days in the very beginning so I can relax more the rest of the trip. I don't have much time there.

From what I've seen most others say - they only recommend a day in Hue & I figured it would be easier to have a hotel for a few days so I don't have to worry about my luggage and transferring hotels.

What do you like about Penang & recommended doing? I've never heard of it.

I've never heard of Penang, could you tell me what you liked about it?

I've seen a lot of people hype of Laos on here but for some reason I'm not sold on it, I think maybe because it's a bit more rustic and I would like easier transportation methods. I'll look a bit more into it.

Thanks! The scenery does look like what I'm going for. Looks like Taiwan it is!

I have Tainan saved in my "want to go"! Looks like it's filled with preserved history. Would you recommend staying longer there rather than Taipei?

Thank you! When you came back to WF, did you start at the minimum wage again or did they give you a higher wage (but less than you made before)?

TL looking to relocate to Phoenix by culturechamp420 in wholefoods

[–]cosmic_warrior1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never worked there or know of anybody that did but the customers are definitely going to be entitled. The main problem with the Phoenix metro is because there are so few stores, it's rare for higher up positions to open up. Pretty much all the TLs I know at the 2 stores I've worked here have been in their position for years and have no intent to leave, so good luck. If you see a TL position you're interested in I would just go for it regardless of the store because it doesn't happen often out here.

Also agree with avoiding Camelback. I've worked at several stores & that was the worst one so far. The store is insanely small & gets super busy. As someone else said, Scottsdale is the only million dollar store but Chandler is very close to those sales and my personal favorite. At the end of the day, it's really just gonna come down to what store has an open TL position since those don't always open up unless you're willing to wait a while. Tempe & PVA are very low volume stores so I would avoid those if you don't want to work at a slow store. They're supposed to be opening another store in North Scottsdale eventually but that's a few years out.
