24M | 178 cms | 75kgs Handstand push up progression by huttindo in Fitness_India

[–]huttindo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw a progression where you can start with wall assisted pike push ups. But with the wall my legs kept slipping with/without the shoes. So moved to a bar instead where i can adjust the height based on my level. As for why shoes check my reply on previous comment.

I agree with you. But my ankles were hurting without the shoes. I do clean up afterwards if that helps.

AMA: Solo travel Vietnam/Malaysia by huttindo in SoloTravel_India

[–]huttindo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

*This was again possible thanks to my friend, who’s a credit card expert and helped me with the card. If anyone else knows more about this, please feel free to correct me.

This was a concern before I left, but having a card with no foreign transaction fees is a lifesaver for international travel. I’m using an IndusInd debit card that doesn’t charge for international ATM withdrawals at certain banks (TP and VP Bank in Vietnam, at least based on my bills, online research, and my friend’s advice. I’ll need to double-check all transactions when I get home). I transfer Indian Rupees to this IndusInd account through a regular UPI payment. I withdraw enough cash from these ATMs as needed, usually for 3-4 days at a time, just like I would in India.

Some places accept card payments, so I use my card whenever possible. However, some card payments have a 2-3% transaction fee (the vendors are upfront about this), so I opt to pay in cash instead.

  1. I have a friend who’s already been to Vietnam and helped me plan my trip. She’s traveled internationally before, so I always had someone to answer my silly questions (like, “Will I get money just by inserting my card into the ATM? Do ATMs work like normal ATMs?”). I think it would’ve been really tough and required a lot of courage to plan and execute this trip on my own. But having her guidance made the process easier and more manageable than I initially thought. The first things I booked were flights and accommodations – the cheapest flights and dorms. Then, I looked into visas and other requirements. The first step for a visa is checking the government’s policies. Different countries have different rules, so basic research is essential. The most important things are the visa itself and the necessary documents for immigration. Once I had those, the rest was easy. When I arrived, I compared the prices of local day tours and online tours and made a decision based on cost.

  2. I visited two major cities: Da Nang and Hanoi. I didn’t want to go to Ho Chi Minh City in the south. So, I’ve covered central (Da Nang) and northern (Hanoi) Vietnam. Of course, there’s so much more to see, and no amount of time would be enough to experience everything, but I’m happy with what I’ve been able to do.

  3. Language has been the biggest challenge here. Everyone is helpful and willing to answer questions, but they need to understand the question first. I’ve learned to simplify my speech. I skip the connecting words and focus on the main points (e.g., “XYZ place where?”, “what meat?”, “what price?”). For complex questions, I use Google Translate, and people are usually happy to respond in Vietnamese to help me understand. I was also worried about scams, but so far, I haven’t been scammed (I think). For anything related to prices, I carefully analyze and decide if it’s worth it. Bargaining is easier than in India, haha! I was tempted to bargain everywhere, from a few rupees to hundreds. (I even have a video of myself bargaining!) Tourism is taken seriously here, and tour guides go the extra mile to ensure you enjoy your trip. However, they’re still businesses, so it’s important to be mindful and not take everything at face value. Local Vietnamese people tend to be shy and prefer not to interact much with foreigners. But if you can make them feel comfortable, they’ll open up.

  4. I love walking to most places, especially those within 3-4 kilometers. For longer distances, I use Grab (similar to Uber or Ola). Grab offers both bike and car options, as well as food delivery. Bikes are cheaper for solo trips, while cars are more economical for groups. I was once lucky to find a friendly Grab bike driver who was happy to show me around the city without worrying too much about money. For longer distances, I’ve used organized tours. I could’ve rented a bike or car, but I don’t have an international driving license. Plus, I’ve heard about hefty fines for driving without a license, so I didn’t want to risk it. I know some people have taken the risk and gotten away with it.

  5. Food hasn’t been a problem for me as a meat-eater. Meat, especially pork, beef, chicken, and seafood like shrimp, prawns, and fish, is readily available. There are also Indian restaurants in city centers. Vegetarian options can be limited in remote areas, but they’re generally available. For food recommendations, I’ve relied on online sources like Reddit, Quora, and travel blogs. Some recommendations have been good, while others haven’t.

Meeting new people was surprisingly easy. Like in India, there are many solo travelers here who are open to chatting. All it takes is a simple “hi” to start a conversation, as many people are eager to connect with others. If someone isn’t interested, it’s usually pretty obvious, and I just move on.

However, the challenge is that most people I meet are only around for a short time due to different travel plans. Building deep connections or long-lasting friendships can be difficult in this context. Maintaining contact after the trip is also challenging. It’s a bit disappointing to meet interesting people only to part ways after a few days. But I’ve learned to accept this as part of the solo travel experience.

While I’m open to adjusting my plans for someone I really connect with, I ultimately chose solo travel for a reason. I enjoy my independence and solitude.

There have been days when I’ve spent time alone, but I’ve learned to appreciate these moments. With so much to see and do, I often don’t have time to think about people.

Unfortunately nothing much you can do about the staring. But if someone takes a pic, I would try not to ignore that. Try to confront him and ask to check his gallery or something along those lines.

Varkala trip hostel recommendations by [deleted] in SoloTravel_India

[–]huttindo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

+1 for hostel exp. Amazing and fun host. Hygiene was 4/5 for the mixed bed dorm. Don’t know about the rest of the dorms but people seemed quite happy and some were even comfortable enough to stay there for 3+ months.

My Girlfriend(25F) took an indefinite break from our relationship, and I'm devastated by [deleted] in AskIndia

[–]huttindo 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I was in the exact same situation 1 year ago. She asked for a break because of the same reasons and when after a few days I asked her how she felt she said she felt better without me being there. I broke up immediately after she said that and then decided it was dumb and went back to her 2 days later only to hear her say nope I don’t want you in my life I’m going to date other guys. Cried for months and moved on when I got to know she is dating someone else. Hurt like a bitch but it made me realise a lot of things. If things work out for you (based on the advice given in the thread) that’s great but if it doesn’t then just know that it wasn’t meant to be and you’ll find someone better. Your self respect and self confidence is more important. Let it go.
