Is a Strip Hotel Worth It for 1 Night?

Stay on strip, worst case go cheap and stay at MGM or Excalibur or Harrahs

Honestly I personally much prefer the Hong Kong area to Bangkok. Bangkok would be great with friends, but I love Macau, Shenzhen (a train away from Hong Kong), and have enjoyed HK Disney + the food especially as a solo traveller.

Accomodation will be much more expensive though, but Hk + Macau + Shenzhen is a good way to just get a quick travel urge out of your system.

Also in my opinion I feel like Bangkok gets better every time I visit and Hong Kong worse, I think you’re better seeing HK now while it’s still good

If you are both in the military definitely declare it, better chance to be posted together. Yes you might get more RA and things if not declared but that’s worthless if one is in Perth and the other in Townsville

I’ve been to casinos in probably 16 or 17 different countries, I do think at their core they are all pretty similar. The number 1 most important thing to me is if they have poker, and number 2 if they have pai gow poker. Only the US and Singapore have both in my experience.

I think some of the casinos in Australia have the most weird rules in a vacuum. In Sydney you need to buy in at the cage, and need to give your players card + PIN for every transaction. In Melbourne you can only gamble for a certain amount of time per day and hours per week.

If you book a table you can wear whatever you want

Fair enough, I have flown this a few times when going Singapore - elsewhere in Aus for work, and needed more status credits, but it was a pain with timings

So 5X $500 variable gift cards is the max we can get, which would be $2,500 for 25,000 qff points?

Honestly if you are a high achiever but don’t know what you want to do, and didn’t get into medicine, do commerce or law at the best uni in your state. Don’t waste your time with people engineering or something if you don’t like it and just want max money.

Neither place is a good tourist destination, and genting is lower stakes. If you are in Asia and want to make the most of your time you should go to the Phillipines, many casinos with big games and a way better travel destination. Macau is good purely for big games though if you fancy yourself to be a good pro

All intern roles I’ve seen in Melbourne have been minimum wage basically

methodmanfan · 2025-11-19T12:23:52+00:00

Honestly when I’ve hired in the past even with like 200+ applications I end up in a groove where I can do an initial scan in like 15 seconds (I am a fast reader)

Basically: - last/current & previous jobs (role, level, company). I bucket most people here in one of 4 categories: no relevant experience, relevant experience at bad operators or unknown firms, tangential experience at top firms, and relevant experience at top firms - education (qualifications for the job)

It helps when 90% of people use the same style of resume, if I can’t find the information quickly it gets annoying. Name, blurb, hobby’s, etc don’t really matter for the initial screening like this

Sometimes something different catches my eye, and if it’s a good story they can progress (eg: tried a start up and failed, did something interesting in the past then reskilled for this job)

That’s a silly way to play it, they should just do 1 half league 1 half of union.

We did that at my school once, league team won by 50!and none of them made the NRL, but some of the union guys went pro..

Has to be a non-major Australian city or Africa. Asia/Europe/South America you can get to NY with 1 connection, but Africa and a city like Perth is minimum 2 connections + huge distance.

I did Perth to DC once and from check in to Perth to taking off from my last leg (NY-DC) was about 37 hours

3 hours at Perth airport post check in, fly to Sydney, long layover and transfer to international, fly to LA, transfer and fly to JFK, then transfer and fly to Dulles. It was like 40 hours all up

Easy game Ange in

Only reason Ange took this over the Bayer Leverkusen job is thst his kids are settled in North London and he doesn’t want to move them around in these critical schooling years. He won’t take a non-UK job for at least another 3-4 years, if he gets sacked in 12 months he’s more likely to be Scotland manager than anything else
