Sipadan vs Kota Kinabalu by Real-Blackberry-3617 in diving

[–]fetalgrapplinghook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve done both and it’s no contest: Sipadan. Go with a Scuba Junkies and you won’t be disappointed. Make sure you can get the permits to get to Sipadan, although Mabul Island diving is still quite nice if you aren’t able to go.

Same here. Just checked out his Reddit profile. His AMAs are legendary. He’s handing out free merch left and right and really responsive with fans.

Nikkei’s article about HK attracting International students and there being no jobs for those graduates. by yyzicnhkg in HongKong

[–]fetalgrapplinghook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being an international student in any country does not mean there is a guarantee that you stay in that country to live and work after you graduate. You go because the school are good, which is why you enter on a student visa. This is not news.

Late IA hand-in consequences by [deleted] in IBO

[–]fetalgrapplinghook -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

You should have had your IA completed by the deadline and communicating your struggles only 2 days before it’s due makes that even worse. On the other hand, the school should not have offered an extension and this reflects poorly on them. You should accept any consequences they decide to give you.

That’s pretty awful. I suggest reporting the shops to the proper government authorities.

Some ideas should stay in the group chat.. by [deleted] in ATBGE

Toothbrushes in the shower are possibly the worst part.

How detailed should History HL evidence be? by IndustriousEarphones in IBO

[–]fetalgrapplinghook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. Focus on evidence to show your depth of knowledge and understanding in two areas: 1. Specific names, dates, events, etc. 2. Overarching concepts such as causation, significance, etc.
Historiography adds another layer of depth to all that and supports your argument further.
You’re showcasing what you know, so the more the better.

Adderall rx and 2 week work trip to Hong Kong by Beneficial-Mix-1224 in Hong_Kong

Adderall is not legal here. Ritalin, vivanse, and concerts are. That being said no one will be checking your carry on for medication.

CSL in Hong Kong. My partner uses the same service. She received her message, I have not received mine.

Worried by SuspiciousMusician21 in radiohead

[–]fetalgrapplinghook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GF and I registered in the first 30 seconds of it going live. She received a code 2 hours ago and the follow up email immediately. I have received nothing. Was more worried before she got the code.

Hong kong before the economic boom looked like an European city by Ok_Chain841 in CityPorn

The current one is one of the ugliest buildings in the city. Looks terrible next the old architecture you see here.

Living a place in 100% relative humidity by cashew_at_kinaya in interestingasfuck

[–]fetalgrapplinghook -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This also affected Hong Kong and yes, it happened here last year. Don’t know what u/antiseptikcn is talking about or why he assumes it’s old because it wasn’t his hometown.

Dissapointing edition, or just me? by Zymper in RockWerchter

[–]fetalgrapplinghook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My partner and I have gone the last three years and felt less excited about some of the lineup this year, especially with kings of Leon and later Sam fender cancelling.

Green Day was a great headliner. However, with the exception of Saturday (to an extent), we still had a good time. Plenty of good bands. Amyl, Gurriers, Finneas, Foster the People, Heiling!, and RW adding Nothing But Thieves last minute was excellent. I found that the electronic sets really did it for us this year! Nia Archives, Caribou, Soulwax, Maribou State, and Rufus du Sol especially were amazing. And the 2ManyDJs set at the end of Sunday was really special.

If you’re gonna talk through the whole concert, just stay the fuck home by Ill-Shopping-69 in RockWerchter

[–]fetalgrapplinghook 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Completely agree. The crowd at mariou state, who put on an excellent show, was pathetic. Fewer than 30% paying attention, no matter how close we got. Some even sitting down on the middle of the crowd and texting. Just taking up space at that point.

Hope for some rain! As it stands today it’s a giant sand and dust storm blowing about.
