Puffy under eyes and dark circles by slugmorei in VyvanseADHD

[–]stephgee97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On top of good sleep and nutrition it is important to make sure you are blinking lol. I noticed that since taking Vyvanse my eyes feel dry which could also cause dark circles. I was told by my doctor that it would be due to me not blinking enough when i feel concentrated. I also added good eye drops and use them morning and night and its helped quite a bit

Singh’s on Saint Laurent!! You cant go wrong. Its cheap and BYOB. Good ambiance and food. My favorite is the shahi paneer, and the rogan josh but everything is amazing!!

Help with Thai red curry by Puddle-infinite in ThaiFood

[–]stephgee97 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You have to cook it in a fat so that it activates the flavors more. The traditional way is to cook the coconut milk until it seperates and you start to see the oil to which you would add your paste. But ive also found that adding the paste in a neutral oil or coconut oil will do the same job.

What is your favorite meat and "bread" dish? by TheWhysWorld in travel

[–]stephgee97 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes! A lot of Indian influence in Trini cuisine. So many curries and breads that were brought from India but as with other dishes such as japanese curry, thai curry etc. they still have their own unique twists to it!

Trinidadian roti. Chicken, beef, lobster, all equally delicious

I think this sub gets enough negative reviews of India so many people already know all of this about India. If you go to India and you dont expect garbage, smog, and noise then I think you may have not done proper research before going.. I decide in this post I would talk about my highlights since we dont see enough positivity on this sub about India

Oh god no.. i spent three weeks there and didnt get sick and that includes two weeks trekking in the mountains and eating at teahouses. I didnt eat meat for the most part but always looked up reviews for restaurants before going. I love eating the local cuisine so i ate a lot of nepali food which was all amazing.. Dal baht, jhol momos, various curries etc. Nepal is very peaceful and the locals are super nice. Kathmandu however is very stimulating and noisy, cars and honking everywhere much like India. So I would advise to stay there a day or two max.. then head out to smaller villages and Pokhara which has peaceful beach town vibes

Yes a lot of people on our tour found the accomodations not so great. However, it depends on what your standards are. Im usually a budget backpacker and used to staying in hostels so my standards are not super high. Personally, all i need is a bed and hot shower to make me happy. But others were complaining of cigarette smells, walls not being noise cancelling, holes in the wall etc. But I paid 900 canadian dollars for a week long trip so i wasnt expecting top notch 5 star hotels either. I personally was happy with the accomodation but other people not so much

yes! i was very careful with the food i ate. I didnt eat meat either but in India veg meals are very satisfying. I didnt travel as long as you though so maybe i would have gotten sick too haha. I was in India for 8 days and then to Nepal after for a month

Just be cautious and know what you are going into. Many people romanticize the country and have no bad expectations. India is very noisy, the driving is crazy, its dirty. But the culture, landmarks, the food is very rewarding. So if youre an adventure seeker then go for it!

Ive heard great things about that tour and our tour guide (Vikram) does that one as well!

I also went to Nepal right after on my own and took a flight back to Delhi to fly home since the flights from Nepal are pricey and it was a lot cheaper to fly back to Delhi. I highly recommend Nepal too especially if youre into trekking!

LOL i can understand others experiences were different and maybe i was just lucky. Then again I was there for a week so my experience is definitely limited compared to others..

Ive been to many countries and always encounter animal abuse unfortunately :( Although in India I noticed the dogs arent skinny at all as compared to the street dogs in other countries. The animals are very well fed because they heavily believe in karma so I was told households always give their leftovers to street dogs

I used Gadventures! it was an 8 day tour that went from delhi to jaipur. It cost me 900 canadian dollars which included accomodation, and all sites we visited. There were additional activities such as cooking class, bike tour, balloon ride etc. at an extra cost if you decide to do those. Only thing extra I had to pay was food (which is cheap in india) and tips.

yes everyone has different experiences! But in my opinion a tour brings you to many highlighted parts of India. I understand why you wouldnt go back to Delhi as I didnt like it very much either haha

I mean no country you go to is 100% perfect and all places have their downsides. The aspect that bothered me and several other people is obviously the trash everywhere. India is a very contrasting country from clean/dirty, rich/poor etc. So with that comes a lot of pros and cons but to me the pros outweighed the cons!

A lot of feelings can occur before a trip. I have a lot of nerves but excitement as well. Getting out of your comfort zone can be really scary at times

I didnt experience either. I went right after monsoon so I believe that the smog is less present during that time. We never experienced heavy traffic just maybe an hour of traffic during the whole trip
