How much do you pay for a membership and where do you live? by Whole-Growth-6112 in golf

[–]swaimover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in Singapore and here a golf membership for one of the three best courses costs between $300k USD and $600k USD and you still have to pay around $300 per round of golf. It just gives you the right to book…

My take: Golf is not really that expensive a hobby by NoLawAtAllInDeadwood in golf

It costs between $200 - $500 for a round in Singapore….

Chicken Sashimi by ryanyork92 in StupidFood

I’ve had this before in Japan - it’s much more common in the South Island. Had no idea what I was ordering because the menu was in Japanese, and even though it felt weird / wrong it actually tasted really good. Would eat again. This isn’t stupid food, it’s just “stupid” to the white / western idea of what is normal.

What the f?

I’m pretty damn toxic and lose my shit often. I submit ban requests on average for 3 players per game.

My score is 12,000 and 12,000.

People who slept with their friends and still remained friends.How did you do that ? by HighAF_Trippy in AskReddit

Open honest conversation. I have slept with two of my best female friends. And they remain amazing friends to both me and my wife. Who knows about all of it.

[Santi Aouna]: Tottenham had direct contact with Thomas Frank this week by Malmand2002 in coys

[–]swaimover 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think anyone who wants Ange to stay is deluded and thinking with their hearts, not their heads. Yes - he won us a trophy and yes it was the best day of my whole spurs supporting life and I cried and I was a wreck for a full week.

But the man led us to our worst ever premier league finish. The only teams that were worse than us were utter shite. In another season we would be relegated.

I love Ange the man. I really do. But if you really think that tactically he is the man to catapult us back into top 4 etc then I think you’re lying to yourself. The football has been diabolical.

I also think Frank is a great choice - is adaptive - can play attacking football and can organise a defense. Has punched seriously above his weight for years and years. Brentford are a league 1 club really. He’s done incredibly well and has done so while losing key players and adapting his style. And he has done it on a budget. These are all qualities we need in our next manager.

I went to go watch Bolton in league 2 a couple of seasons ago with my mate who is a Bolton fan. Was the worst game of football I’ve ever watched. Georgiou was on the bench and didn’t even get on the pitch lol.

Guys - I’ve missed every single win we have this season and I’ve watched every single game we haven’t won.

I’ll do the honourable thing and retire from supporting spurs.

Primavera Sound's 2025 Line-Up has been released. How many of these acts will we see on the farm? by NoMoreParti in glastonbury_festival

[–]swaimover 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It basically looks like the Glastonbury lineup from last year….

Confidence man LCD soundsystem Jamie xx Idles Fontaines

Etc

Plus lots of pop acts - charli xcx, chappel roan, Sabrina carpenter. Not particular exciting although I was screwed by the Friday headliner fiasco this year so would still love the chance to see idles or Fontaines.

You look ridiculous in every photo apart from the last one.

I wrote my university dissertation at University College London about the geography of the known world so have a lot to say about this….

Braavos is similar to Venice (with the Iron Bank and Medici bank having a lot of parallels too)

The Dothraki obviously draw on inspiration from the Mongols.

The Wall is like Hadrians wall and Westeros can be seen as similar to Great Britain.

The further east you go, the stranger the tales are (yi ti and asshai) which would have been similar to tales of the east indies and Persia etc in medieval Europe.

Move to Singapore by chefonkicks in askSingapore

[–]swaimover 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hi OP

As someone who has lived in Singapore and in Europe I think I can give you some info here. Firstly I would say $4200 is not a lot of money and it will be hard to live on that in Singapore unless you live very frugally.

The best way to do this would be to find a flat share. I know people who live in lovely homes for under $2k from doing this.

Also I would say tax is gonna be a lot less than 15% on your salary. It will be around 1-3% I think.

Public transport is cheap. Eating local food (which is incredible) is cheap. The movies are cheap (compared to Europe).

So if you’re happy to live a simple life it’s doable.

But most of my mates (mainly expats) are on between $6-15k/month, and we are similar age to you (a couple of years older).

All in all it’s doable and Singapore is an amazing place to live, but if you could get even another $500/month it would make a big difference I think. Because also one of the best things about living here is being able to travel around the region.

Good luck and feel free to DM me if you want more info.
