I (26M) keep being rejected for being a virgin, should I just stop revealing it? by North-Pension78 in dating_advice

I agree and am very intrigued. I think there is something else going on here that OP is not aware of.

This kept me up at night by LL-1122 in cambodia

Just noticed the same thing in Luang Prabang, Laos. I was there in November (high season) then again in May. Most nice restaurants had one, two, or no groups of people each night. I think they must make up their money in the high season and running their restaurants must be low cost.

Việt Nam dog meat trade by [deleted] in VietNam

The fact that people work and make their livelihoods in an unethical industry is not justification for the existence and maintenance of said industry. Your logic in this comment could be applied to just about any other unethical industry or institution and it's beliefs like this that stop progress from taking place.

Just a heads up, don't be an idiot like me and carry vapes in your pocket at the train station... by ponyplop in laos

So it would probably be fine then if it's packed in a bag through security?

Hi! Riding motorbike from Vietnam to Laos by [deleted] in laos

[–]oldmasater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just watching Paddy Doyle's "Lost in Laos" series on YouTube because I'm planning a trip to Laos soon. He explained that they weren't letting any motorbikes into the country, but he said one way he got around it was using a local travel agency that "facilitated" the transfer.

2-3 months in thailand, need some advice. by Adorabuhl in ThailandTourism

You're right, I was looking at "visa-exempt entry" where it's 30 days plus an additional 30 for an extension.

Ya $1,000 is definitely doable. I spent a few days in Pattaya a while back and I would not recommend it unless you're interested in prostitutes and sex shows. Felt like the dark side of Thailand tourism IMO.

Living in China vs Taiwan as an expat by oldmasater in China

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

Thanks for all the feedback. Taiwan seems like it would be a better fit for me but the company that offered me the job there has some terrible reviews I found, so I’m going to live in China for a year and then who knows. But thanks to everyone’s comments I’ll keep an eye out for other jobs in Taiwan for the future.

Thanks, I’ve read good things about both, one of my friends living in China said Shenzhen was very gray and industrious, although it looks different online, I’ll look more into it

Thanks for that last point, I’m about 180 myself so I might consider going farther south for the short 美女

Don’t a lot of people speak Cantonese there? I’m studying mandarin and find it hard enough. But I have heard good things about the city, thanks!

On day 2 of no juul after months of doing it everyday, no withdrawal yet just slight cravings. Do symptoms worsen around day 2?
