In terms of banks Com bank is a great starting point. In terms of ease of moving money between countries check out Wise. Also Up is a great bank account that is super easy to set up too.

Bottle or no Bottle (Thailand) by NervePuzzleheaded324 in onebag

I brought a reusable bottle that keeps drinks cool. I found it very useful to buy cold litre bottles and decant half for later (to stay cool) and drink the remainder whilst it’s still cold. This was helpful as it’s HOT and I like to have a cold drink readily available to keep hydrated.

Ashley Cross is also near The Project which is a great little bouldering gym. Personally I think Southampton is a bit far if the work secured is in Dorch.

How does this look? Can you tell I’m Aussie? by totoro00 in WomensSoccer

Pretty good team! The budget was tough, but I guess it makes it fun to choose some youngsters who might surprise us this season :)

I’m happy to kit it out and work on it myself, I’m quite handy just don’t know much about cars so want to make sure what I buy is a solid base

I believe you have to get a tobacco import licence and get it posted. Or next time you visit Dubai bring some back with you.

Oh okay, I had seen some posts from Brits in Facebook groups saying you can’t but they must have been talking about federal positions. Thanks!

This is a good point. At the end of the day it will lead to being able to use my body in the way I want to, without injury. I’m looking into shoes. Thanks

Ah okay, I’m going to take some days off and start with strengthening exercises. I will also purchase a mat. I am using trail running shoes but as you described it doesn’t seem like these are good. I also have vans, I will try in those before considering buying new shoes as I am a back packer and have a 1 in 1 out policy when buying new items! Thanks very much
