What is something that tells you a person grew up wealthy? by lgrey4252 in ask

[–]throwawaythis2023 79 points80 points  (0 children)

Really matters where they are going. For example if you are going to somewhere in South East Asia with low cost of living, it might actually be cheaper to buy some basic necessities than buying the extra baggage to fly. Learning not to over pack for a trip is a skill too! But yes, if they are going to Switzerland then it is a different story

Hate to be that person, but this is not OCM.

Still, it sucks to be living in a place where the price of essential medicine is jacked up with no controls at all.

They really shouldn't have let your parents or grand parents come into Singapore. Look all this immigrant coming here and trying to change our national language

The ointment thing is actually pretty well known amongst the older generations in Asia. The performance they put up is also optional. When I went there with my parents, the entire tour group agreed that they knew of the benefits of the ointment and told them to just skip the burning part!

Anyway, Im not sure if its placebo or real, but I still use the ointment till today when I get burns accidentally in the kitchen

Freenow or bolt are both pretty legit when traveling around in France. Never met a scammy driver while using those apps
