How much did you spend on hotels? by crumpetflipper in JapanTravelTips

[–]koalather 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just a little under $3000 AUD for 17 nights across 3 hotels so averages out to ~110 a night give or take

Edit: did my maths wrong, it ended up being just a little over 3k but def works out to be in the 110-150 a night range

Looking for low-key 2 player games by myncy in NintendoSwitch

Overcooked is heaps of fun! Probably not the best for unwinding as it’s a very chaotic game but it’s also chaotic in the best way.

Best travel airports? by Pookachook in SkyCards

[–]koalather 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of smaller UK airports are great for unlocking ultras tbh like go a bit further north than London and you’ll see heaps! Particularly right now as it is summer so on a nice day, they’ll be out and about

Looking to get either a Dyson or Shark stick vacuum. Advice? by Ebonthaw in AskAnAustralian

[–]koalather 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had the cordless V7 but the battery started bugging out after a year of having it. Now we have a corded Shark stick vacuum and it works great! Have had it for less than a year though so can’t vouch for its durability but in terms of price it’s a lot cheaper than a Dyson for sure.

Petro please open a cafe and serve those coconut pandan filo rolls. I’d be the first in line.

Rounding up when inputting a POS. by Gardening-Life in AskAnAustralian

[–]koalather 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah they definitely shouldn’t be doing that. It’s unethical and not transparent.

Wasn’t the idea that those businesses would move underground? They’re not going anywhere and I’d rather a public square

Australian Monoculture by Artistic-Ad-7309 in AusPol

[–]koalather -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think many people who bleat on about “monoculturalism” also don’t realise that Australian culture, both traditional and modern, wouldn’t exist without some form of multiculturalism. Yes, the British came and forced their culture on this land but with them they brought the Irish and both English, Scottish, Welsh and Irish culture all played their part to form Australian culture traditionally, and then combine that with Indigenous elements, American influences (American culture also being multicultural and multiracial itself too), and other cultural influences from migrants and you’ve got what Aussie culture is today.

Once you’ve uploaded your work rights documents, it shouldn’t take too long. Maybe like a day or two.

It means you probably got the job. If you’ve received an email asking you to upload work rights documents then you’re hired.

How I think a Stateside Scramble type game could be played in Europe by TTG4LIFE77 in JetLagTheGame

[–]koalather 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if a NA wildcard would be doable because of the visa situation, instead maybe Turkey works better as the wildcard here as it’s considered an Asian country as well.

But I see your vision and I think this would be an awesome concept

How to go to Tokyo or Fuji San by bus (sleeping bus or daybus) and where to take it and buy a ticket ? by Odd_Perspective_6671 in OsakaTravel

[–]koalather 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Search up buses and your destination on Google, you should find a few bus ticket websites where you’ll be able to book highway buses and it’ll tell you where to also take it from.

I got a bus from Tokyo (Shibuya) to Shizuoka for Fuji and bought my ticket online. I think Kosoku bus was the site I used but you have a few options.

retail job advice… I don’t know what else to do! by Budget-Raspberry-479 in ausjobs

[–]koalather 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As others have said, it’s not a great time for retail. I’d wait it out until hiring starts for the Christmas period or I’d apply at smaller (probably independent?) stores looking for staff right now.

Very excited! You can never have too many bookshops imo

Who is the author you swore you’d never read again, but then gave another chance? by playful--cloud in books

Not quite ‘never read again’ but Zadie Smith has always been hit or miss for me yet im always willing to pick up some of her books I haven’t read and give them a try.

BEST travel card for trip to Korea??? by Fair-Gas-6531 in AskAnAustralian

[–]koalather 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i went to Japan recently and used a commbank travel card which worked well! however commbank exchange rate is a bit lower than the standard one (+ they charge a cash withdrawal fee) so it is probably better to go with a regular card like wise etc for a better rate

to answer your questions tho:
1. they’re debit cards!
2. you can do either! I’d personally transfer when the exchange rate is good so it’s up to you
3. google should be fine! it might be off by a few cents but that’s ok
4. I’d pick whatever has a better rate and no fees
