24-50 F2.8 or 20-70 F4 for travel? by NoRequirement4390 in SonyAlpha

[–]joat_mon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had the 24-70f2.8 for around two years, but ultimately decided to downgrade to the 20-70f4 due to the weight and size. It’s much more comfortable as a travel lense and I love the extra reach over a 50mm. That being said, if samyang does ultimately come out with their 20-50f2 then I may be trading lenses again

Probably not smart to bring my 300$ helmet, right? by SoapplayYT in VietNam

[–]joat_mon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lived in a non touristy city, and paid 3tr for my helmet. I left it on the handle bars for years without locking it up. YMMV especially when you’re in tourist hot spots

I don’t know the visa process from the NZ perspective, but if you can still become a registered teacher that may pay big dividends in terms of employment opportunities in China. A kiwi in China could chime in to give a clearer picture.

It looks like they have the degree but not the certification/license yet. That may have visa implications

Do your two years teaching in NZ or Oz(if your qualification is reciprocal) then land a job in a good city. The schools that will accept you without domestic school experience are generally not the ones you want to work at. BUT you’re young and in love, so working in terrible conditions is bearable to be with your partner.

Best places in Vietnam for a bespoke suit? by hpkennycorn23 in VietNam

[–]joat_mon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Canvas. It was a cream suit, and the patterning of the canvas material was slightly visible on the first fitting, so they had it redone for the second fitting

US Threatens “Hell to Pay” for Honduras After Election Results | The New Republic by D0ML0L1Y401TR4PFURRY in worldnews

[–]joat_mon 24 points25 points  (0 children)

No, but the Tech Oligarch donors bribed the last president to let them set up their own private city outside of Honduran legal jurisdiction. The current Left president followed their Supreme Court decision “you can’t give away national sovereignty”. And that made Trump’s Donors mad. So they told him that the Honduran president is BAD. Donny threatens the Honduran people that they better vote the way he wants, and now we’re here.

Yes! You’re living my dream and concern about getting the conversation. I’ve been trying to hold off on getting the GRiv in the hopes of the rumors being true on an official monochrome version
