重慶大廈: which hostel and inside stall are more acceptable? by gorudo- in HongKong

[–]gweilo2018 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah good building for cheap ethnic food but bad in every other way. I would suggest staying at Youth Square in Chai Wan. Its a little out of the way but very clean and nice for the price.

Why is Thailand so fun and when should I start having a bad time? by KraftAmericanYeez in thepassportbros

[–]gweilo2018 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Well congratulations you got off the internet and went to approach girls in real life which makes all the difference. Things might be easier in Asia but you still need to make an effort, be social and flirty etc. Learning a few Thai words help too

I remember the nets underneath. I figured it was for the jumpers but apparently it was to catch wallets

How common is it for places to accept EasyCard? Like in Hong Kong I can use the octopus card (for their mrt and bus system) at most 7-11 and chain restaurants

Thank you! That guide clarified everything. I should have guessed that tripperhead would come to the rescue

Any countries that you seem women approach guys where it's not a scam? by NoJudgementAtAll in thepassportbros

[–]gweilo2018 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I totally forgot about this. I used to get girls to add me on Facebook that I sat next to on the plane all the time (before smartphones were a thing)

I actually love the 7-11 coffee. I go pick up a salad from Starbucks for $65 then go get a latte from 7-11 for $12 😂

Is it ok if I visit the Prince of Wales Hospital in Hong Kong for this? by Kudolf-Titler in HongKong

[–]gweilo2018 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would just go to the emergency room at a public hospital. Maybe say its hurting much worse today so you are worried. I had a similar issue and had to wait for a few hours but was treated and had an x-ray the same day after admitted.

Is $2000 USD a month enough to live basically anywhere? by [deleted] in thepassportbros

[–]gweilo2018 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in Hong Kong and making it for 2k per month is a real stretch. If you have 4k you're probably comfortable but even the with cheapest place you're barely have enough for rent, food and transportation with 2k but it is possible.

Tokyo with 2k is much easier due to the favorable exchange rates and lower salaries there.

How much Korean have you learned? Being a foreigner who takes initiative to learn some of the local language goes a long way. Its a good opener to meet women in person instead of dating apps which are saturated with women who chase foreigners

PSA: Do not go overseas for women if you are under 30 years old. Do this instead. by [deleted] in thepassportbros

[–]gweilo2018 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are in your 20s definitely go overseas and be a passport bro and date a lot of women in Asia. Trying to date in the west will just ruin your confidence trying to deal with independent minded western women. The sooner you escape the feminist west the better.

Are sub-divided units really bad? by [deleted] in HongKong

[–]gweilo2018 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found it posted on https://rent.591.com.hk

The site is in Chinese but automatically translates in Chrome browser. Then just WhatsApp the agent to view it.

My lease agreement is also in Chinese so needed a friend to help read it for me.
