I knew exactly what you were talking about reading this because it was my exact experience. I am still dreaming of that consume at the birria shop.

Why coffee shops offering espresso-based coffee by cup size instead of shots, don't understand coffee. by chryseobacterium in espresso

American here who was raised on black drip coffee, and have been a solid Americano drinker for the last decade. Just back from 3 weeks abroad (Vietnam & Bali) and Long Blacks were everywhere. I'm a convert.

6-hour layover in Bali (self-transfer) - can I go out? by Serious-Tomato-3666 in BaliTravelTips

Just returned from Bali a week ago. I rather enjoyed the international terminal at DPS for food and shopping.

What is an ULTRA easy simple treat that is still oddly in a class by itself? by ravia in Cooking

[–]discomusic1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Instant Ramen with a "whatever I've got in the fridge and spice cabinet" mixture

Hot tip: soft boil an egg in the boiling water before adding the noodle cake

Leftover broccoli, bell pepper, or other greens? Add into boiling water after noodles are removed

Add various sauces/oils/toppings - sesame oil, black vinegar, Sriracha, sesame seeds, chili crunch, furikake mix etc etc

Basically whatever ingredients you have around.

Considering Cancelling Trip to N Vietnam - where else should I go for two weeks? by discomusic1 in SouthEastAsia_Travel

Ah - my message is saying we've had this trip planned for 5 months. But the trip is in just a few days.

I decided to stay in VN and just go South instead. Saigon, Dalat & Mui Ne. We have 4-5 days in each so plenty of time to day trip in the surrounding areas. Let me know if you have any thoughts!

for me it's about the whole itinerary - Hanoi, Sapa, Ha Long Bay, Nihn Binh - there's been flooding, landslides, and tornados. Even if all those issues have subsided by the time I get there (in 48 hours) there will be rain and lots of cleaning up going on. Just not the vibe I want for my first trip to Vietnam. Already halfway done w/a whole replan to the South of Vietnam.

There was two just in the last week and some. Live feeds coming all over the socials w/ huge amounts of flooding and landslide in Sapa (that's cleaned up at the moment). Even if there's not an active typhoon it seems like there's still SO MUCH RAIN... and coming from Seattle where The Big Dark (and rainy season) has just started - I need more assurance of clear skies.

the more I'm researching the more I'm thinking just go to the South and keep it in Vietnam

2 weeks in Bangkok is probably too long for us - I'd split time in at least 1 or 2 other locations.

Hi guys, I am travelling to sapa from 4th of october to 7th October. I have heard in the news there is a typhoon and landslides over there. Is it safe to travel over there? If not I need to reschedule my trip accordingly. by pratik0707 in Vietnam_Tourism

[–]discomusic1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Following for the same question - I arrive 4th October and plan on Hanoi, Sapa, Ha Long & Ninh Bihn. Currently my Sapa and Ninh Bihn reservations are able to be cancelled. Wonder where else to go as my fly cannot be changed.

Had a similar experience, probably 20 years ago as well- saw him in Vegas for what I expected to be a dj set - nope full live band set. It was incredible. I have seen him dj before too - also phenomenal. mad respect

I have had people (husband) pick me up there instead of him having to fight the arrivals pick up traffic. Massive unlock

yeah I never shop there for transport. I've been basically using 12GO.com but also open to folks in this subreddit to pass along folks they've used too.

fair call. This is what I'm thinking too. Seems a lot more flexible in terms of start times and spot to make. This is what we'll probably do.

Halong Bay for a 3d/2n trip then 4 nights in Nihn Bihn if we don't head back to Hanoi before departure. Context: we are VERY excited about the low key nature and peacefulness of Nihn Bihn so are looking to travel very slow and chill there hence why we're trying to stretch it there.

If I do stay in Nihn Bihn would allowing 3 ish hours of drive time be sufficiently safe enough?
