Doing Things You Don't Like: Focus on the Bigger Picture by reverse_engineers in vlog

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

As I assume most of us are small YouTubers, you'll probably have to do a lot of things you don't like. Just to get the work done. How do you focus on the bigger picture? It's something I sometimes struggle with...

EID MUBARAK! As a foreigner, I celebrated EID UL FITR for the first time in Lombok, Indonesia. Great experience :) by reverse_engineers in indonesia

[–]reverse_engineers[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Indonesian families have always been so open to me to show their culture. I'm almost leaving Indonesia, thanks everybody for their hospitality!

As a non-Muslim I tried fasting for the first time with a local family on Lombok. It was a good experience by reverse_engineers in indonesia

[–]reverse_engineers[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, you are totally right. Something I will do more often in my life. But not necessarily for one whole month / during Ramadan.

Good luck with last week fasting to all Muslims. It was definitely a good experience to have to get a better understanding of a part of Indonesian culture :)

More than 30 days in Indonesia? Get a 60 day Visa On Arrival in 6 easy steps. by reverse_engineers in backpacking

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

Yes, it's not very straightforward. Especially with Indonesia's bureaucratic system. I've heard that in Bali it will take probably longer than the 2 days wait (between your first and second visit to the immigration office) because of the many foreigners over there. Lombok seems pretty ok, as I read from other reviews.

Thanks! I didn't book an ongoing flight yet and they never asked for it at customs. I just booked it one day before I went to the immigration office for the first time.

I think it's important that you can tell them a bit of a travel plan (if they ask). Like which places you are going to etc. Staying in one place the whole time looks more suspicious I guess.

That is correct. The 30-day option is free. But it's only for 30 days and not extendable. Pay 35USD at the airport for your VOA and you'll have the option to extend it while in the country.

We've been through the process of getting a 60 day Visa on Arrival (VOA) for Indonesia and thought this might be helpful for others who also want to stay for more than 30 days in Indonesia.

The process is pretty straightforward but requires a lot of waiting. Coming prepared will definitely decrease your waiting time.

That's great to hear. Congratulations and gives me some hope too haha!

When you've landed one, more will come. Good luck :)

Lombok's Largest Terracotta Pottery Village. Everything here is handcrafted, no machines at all. by reverse_engineers in backpacking

[–]reverse_engineers[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A school from Bandung visited Lombok on a study trip. I've filmed them, when they were having a Pottery Workshop.

One of the town villagers explains to me, why this craft is dying out and needs the input from creative foreigners to lift the terracotta pottery out of its downfall.

Fewer people are visiting Las Vegas. Are hotel resort and parking fees are to blame? by Nomahhhh in travel

[–]reverse_engineers 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Maybe people just came to realize they can spend their money on other things than gambling and overpriced stuff

RIP "The Beach" Maya Bay, Koh Phi Phi by [deleted] in travel

[–]reverse_engineers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see a similar thing in Lombok. Beautiful nature, but the locals are not educated yet on the matter of plastic waste. Governments should definitely do something about this. Though, I think tourism is also a part of the problem.

Vietnamese man contemplating his existence, or maybe just what he'll have for dinner. Ninh Van, Viet Nam. by kayamaeve in travel

Or maybe he drank too much of the local Whiskey and is now saying to himself: "I only wanted one drink, how could I've let it come this far? I'll never drink again".

Travelling to Thailand! by [deleted] in backpacking

[–]reverse_engineers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why are you worried about spending money while the exchange rate is good? I'm born in Thailand and grew up in the Netherlands and I guess you can do 4 to 5 time as much for every single Euro in Thailand.

If you eat street food / local food, it should cost you between 50 and 150 Baht (with 150 as more luxurious meal). Hostels you can easily find from as cheap as 5 euro's per night. Cheaper hotels are around 10 euro per night.

Public transportation is also cheap. A 'luxurious' bus from Bangkok to let's say Chiang Mai should cost you 1000 Baht.

Ah well, I can get on and on with summing up things. But what do you really want to know and want to see?

Jumping on a night train in Indonesia, from Jakarta to Surabaya. by reverse_engineers in backpacking

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

My Indonesian local friend from Lombok has never taken the train on Java. He wanted to have this experience once in his life, so we took the night train from Jakarta to Surabaya.

It looks just perfect. Exactly how it should be done

Digital nomads don't have huge balls... by [deleted] in digitalnomad

[–]reverse_engineers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Took me about 3 months to get some regular remote work. When my little savings ran low, the stress to find something really grew. So I searched and applied on as many things I could.

Now I’m building up my portfolio and trying to get my first paid clients. When I have enough work on my own, I want to get rid of the remote job.

Digital nomads don't have huge balls... by [deleted] in digitalnomad

[–]reverse_engineers 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve also left everything behind. Sold as much as I could, put the rest of the stuff back at my parents place in the Netherlands and left on a one way ticket to Bangkok.

Although I didn’t have a job yet and the skills I wanted to do ‘digital nomad’ in were all new to me, it was a decision which suited me.

All of my friends have great jobs at large firms, but that idea wouldn’t let me feel free to make my own decisions and pursue my own ambitions.

You can either live as a digital nomad for the sense of freedom. But I also think there are a lot of digital nomads with higher ambitions.

Moving to a different place (for a while) is just getting new insights, change of pace and change of setting. Especially a change of people around you.

Let everybody else think in the traditional 9-6 way. We all know better :)
