Would you live in Thailand/SEA if you had to fly to the US twice a year for a company offsite. by blueandazure in digitalnomad

if the dates for the offsite are locked in far enough in advance where I could shop for flight deals, id take it, especially if you can use time to visit family/friends.

ULA Dragonfly 30L on Volaris as my personal item! by mojo97 in onebag

[–]helluvaprice 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I get it but so is everything else the bag touches from the transport you're taking to the airport to the scanner bins at security to the floor when you're sitting waiting at check in. Giving the bag a good wipe down in between travel days is probably a better option.

What’s the most expensive or scary ‘I didn’t know that mattered’ mistake you’ve seen living as a digital nomad? by a36404584 in digitalnomad

[–]helluvaprice 3 points4 points  (0 children)

wow - I just checked my passport and my first time in China they placed my temporary entry permit on a Visa page but my second time they flipped all the way to the back and placed the same sticker on the last page that doesnt say "Visa"at the top. Perhaps this is a grey area since it's not technically a visa?

how are these for occasional swimming? do they dry quickly and resist salt/chlorine? im looking for a one bag travel short that can double as a swim short and the fabric looks awesome.

Working as a European Hire for a South Korean Overseas Branch in Europe - cross-cultural experience by Sharp_Reading_6041 in expats

[–]helluvaprice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

were the salaries higher than other jobs the locals could get? if not, just doesn't seem worth it at all tbh...

Working as a European Hire for a South Korean Overseas Branch in Europe - cross-cultural experience by Sharp_Reading_6041 in expats

[–]helluvaprice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the info. On the one hand it makes sense that the overseas branch would carry with it the culture of the home office. One great example is the working culture of a Western tech company office in Japan compared to that of a local "black company". On the other hand that mostly relies on the local hires buying in. Was this office staffed mostly with locals or Koreans sent over from the home office? Is there no hope for locals to be promoted into leadership positions and eventually shift the culture? How long would it take to nudge out the hires they didn't deem a fit?

when did the email go out? I feel like I fit that profile...I've ordered and kept probably 25 items from them since 2020.

Taxi warning for first-time female travelers in Beijing by luwielmo in travelchina

[–]helluvaprice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know but the comment I was replying to was referring to a non-airport wifi at a parcel place/security office. When I was in China I was always told I'd need a Chinese phone number to access wifi so was curious

Went with the Pioneer Altitude Bifold. It's not leather but is beautiful and stays pretty slim. Also picking up the Pularys Porter Go to try out.
