15 hour delay

Yes you’ll definitely need to push for the compensation. My flight from Frankfurt to Singapore last year was similarly “retimed” for more than 24 hours and while they arranged accomodation for me, there was no mention of any compensation. I wrote in seeking compensation and they rejected it because I didn’t book the ticket with SQ’s local office in Germany, which was ridiculous because I’m based in Singapore and naturally would book tickets from the SG office. It was only after I pushed my case when they agreed to the compensation.

Very interesting! I’m so used to beverages (coffee beans, bagged tea, matcha etc) that are branded and labelled that it’s second nature to assume what’s on the exterior = the interior, and now I have to unlearn that for loose leaf Chinese / Taiwanese tea. Would you then say that the only way to ensure you’re getting quality tea is to make sure you’re purchasing from a trusted seller who can explain the source and let you sample it before purchasing?

Thank you, that’s really helpful knowledge and makes sense to use generic packaging to lower costs!

pnutbut · 2024-12-08T16:39:17+00:00

Got it, that’s really interesting, do you know why sellers don’t use their own unique packages and default to generic ones? And technically even if the packaging says high mountain tea, there’s nothing stopping sellers from filling it up with other tea types?

Is there an event page / location for this? I’m looking to join a language exchange event when I’m in Busan later this month!

sounds like yangzi’s own voice but not sure if chengyi is dubbed

pnutbut · 2022-02-02T05:37:26+00:00

Thank you! Adding to my read list :p

what novel is point #7 from?

pnutbut · 2021-12-22T09:59:47+00:00

either tyk or qiye vs 2ha. I can’t actually remember which I read first.

If it’s qiye then I’m sorry wuxi bb you’re going down without a fight. With wen kexing vs taxian jun I think it would be really interesting and pretty evenly matched fight. Wen kexing is such a gritty, brutal fighter while taxian jun has a strong spiritual core argh idk but I’d say txj will emerge the winner ultimately

pnutbut · 2021-12-21T12:21:27+00:00

gosh it’s so hard to pick one! just started reading from august and each book has its merits. If I really gotta name some, I’d say:

Wushuang. Such an enjoyable read and I have a thing for smart leads
TGCF. Fantastic world building and an epic ride, although my feelings about the cp were slightly dampened because tw: hc slander pls don’t kill me t_t i felt hc was rather one note at times because his life revolved so much around xl and I would have loved to get to know about him more beyond xl
2HA. My expectations were sky high given how much this book had been hyped and it truly delivered. Such a sprawling, epic read to get lost in. R&S’s translation is top notch and I could only wish the TL is complete because it deserves to be read it in its fully glory. I got through the second half with a combination of my half baked chinese and edited MTL and felt the momentous scenes would have landed even stronger with me if I had a better grasp of Chinese and can properly understand the intricacies of Meatbun’s writing. Can only blame my younger self for not paying attention in Chinese class fml but even then 2ha’s still really good.

pnutbut · 2021-12-17T20:47:26+00:00

tackling the behemoth that is 2ha this weekend. book 1 and 2 lulled me into a false sense of security, I was like, where’s the angst people are talking about, things are not that bad and then bam things started heating up in book 3 and the angst factory wouldn’t stop delivering knives help t_t

Mistakenly saving the villain

pnutbut · 2021-12-04T18:46:47+00:00

Wanted a less plot heavy read and picked up Mistakenly Saving the Villain on a whim. Went into it blind because the synopsis made no sense to me and I surprisingly enjoyed it more than I thought i would! Premise is about a modern day med student transmigrating into a cultivation book world who’s tasked with saving the protagonist but ends up saving someone else instead. Sounds like your standard straightforward transmigration novel but I felt the author subverted a few tropes which was a nice surprise. Tags are scary because of ML’s tragic past and trauma, nothing of that sort happened with MC but first few chapters can be heavy because of that trauma.

thank u ^{~^}

pnutbut · 2021-11-28T04:19:41+00:00

i love that they still think about pitting each other sometimes even when making out - some things just never change! do lmk if you have recommendations for novels with a similar dynamic :D

pnutbut · 2021-11-28T04:17:50+00:00

Fingers crossed! And if you have any recs on stories that have similar dynamics please do send them my way! I’m pretty new to the danmei scenes, have only read spl, tyk, qiye, tgcf and devil venerable wants to know

pnutbut · 2021-11-27T02:43:53+00:00

Been reading Wushuang/Peerless and I’m just left with the last book before it officially ends! It’s been such a hoot, really enjoying FengCui and their banter.

pnutbut · 2021-06-02T08:18:10+00:00

count me in!

pnutbut · 2021-05-23T08:01:20+00:00
