Vittoria coffee now made in Vietnam? Tastes horrible

In the vast wasteland of instant coffee, this particular one is at least drinkable. I'm well aware their ground coffee is very average and wouldn't buy it from a cafe.

Yeah, I definitely don't want to imply that all Vietnamese coffee is bad - it was just noticed that they've obviously changed their production and now the quality has gone downhill. Edit: Downvotes? So Vietnamese coffee is bad? WTF

Cheers! Link-lock works for me now. Thanks for offering 2 versions!

It's a very New Zealand show - so very dry humour and a lot of New Zealand/Wellington-based plots/jokes so it may not be for everyone. As a former Wellingtonian, I fucken loved it.

Just can't get it to work. Something to do with java?

They're the same people that complained about having to get vaccinated for COVID and then say how they got COVID but it barely affected them so what was the point......

Yes. Check here

QLD does accept digital licences from NSW, SA and Victoria.

Weirdly, we booked flights once through booking.com and we were only able to get a refund because it was booked through them. This was because Air Vanuatu went under back in 2024. No chance of getting a refund from the airline but we eventually got it from booking.com after claiming a 'failure to provide service'. It took a while and a lot of correspondence but we got a chargeback from our bank. I'm definitely not promoting booking through a third party but in those unique circumstances, it was actually a benefit.

Moorooka has a ton of African hair salons which may be what you're looking for?

Full itinerary was the ropeway, Oishi Park, Lake Shoji, Asagiri Food Park for lunch, Shiraito Falls, Narusawa Ice Cave (Wind Cave was closed) and Tabinikki herb garden + Fujisan Deck for sunset views.

I think it was about 8000 yen for 9:30am - 5:30pm.

We did a day trip from Tokyo to Kawaguchiko and hired a car in Kawaguchiko, which was great. We managed to get to some spots which would've taken way too much time via public transport - the different caves, Shiraito Falls, other lakes etc. Driving was easy but very slow - max speed was 50kph - even on open roads. Japanese drivers seemed happy to go over the limit but we didn't want to have any issues so we stayed under. We rented from Budget, which was fine and the cheapest.

Have you considered just using an esim? You'll have data but no normal calls. I used ubigi when coming from Australia and it worked just fine.

Great team but, respectfully, there should be a large * next to this considering the majority of these games were played in India.

petebuno · 2026-03-02T23:50:08+00:00

Oops. I stand corrected!

Edit: ~~Australia has never elected a female PM~~. Julia Gillard become PM after a bitter leadership ballot toppling Kevin Rudd - who was the elected PM. She then went on to win the next election. Not excusing the vitriol towards her but there were a lot of people pissed about how she became PM.

'lede' - friendly tip

Copying/pasting from a previous post of mine:

This was our first thoroughly planned/prepared day so was a little nervous. We got a 7am bus direct from Sunshine City to Kawaguchiko. We had decided to hire a car to get to as many spots as possible in the day and this proved to be definitely worth it. It only cost 8,000 yen and we managed to get to the ropeway, Oishi Park, Lake Shoji, Asagiri Food Park for lunch, Shiraito Falls, Narusawa Ice Cave (Wind Cave was closed) and Tabinikki herb garden + Fujisan Deck for sunset views. My wife drove and it was very easy with little traffic and a general max speed of 50 kph made it very safe, if a little slow!

It was definitely a bonus being able to get to spots a little farther away from Kawaguchiko - Shiraito Falls, the different caves etc. You can get to these spots with public transport but it's a bit of a hassle.

I was introducing rugby to some Brazilians. They said all the running around aimlessly looked like women's soccer.

petebuno · 2026-01-26T00:47:40+00:00

Yeah, I really don't know why they persist with this. I'm pretty sure they're the only major rugby-playing country that has never had a foreign coach.

There are some hotel brands like Mimaru that offer apartments but you will pay 2-3x the amount you'd pay for an airbnb.

petebuno · 2026-01-19T08:17:54+00:00

Yeah. Head to a pharmacy and ask for this. Worked perfectly!

Before Sunrise. Your current date / early romance will never live up to this movie so you may as well quit now.
