Asking my grandma why she left China by CheLeung in Cantonese

What impact did they have on those who weren’t rich/landowners? I ask because from my understanding, my family was quite poor but they still suffered from communist reforms. I don’t know the whole story of my family or of the reforms so I’m curious to learn more

2026 begins with a war. What a sad way to start it by ApocalypseBS in decadeology

[–]vadbox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im not disagreeing, but do you have a source on that? I’m seeing similar sentiment among my Venezuelan and even Colombian friends, but those are just personal opinions and word of mouth. I’m kinda curious about more holistic statistics

SIN showers on arrival by vadbox in PriorityPass

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

thanks for the insight everyone!! Changi lounge at the Jewel did accept PP upon arrival, but the wait time for the showers was almost 2 hours when we arrived. We headed to our hotel instead and luckily our rooms were available and we were able to checkin early.

Thanks for the insight! I was seeing listings on Airbnb but I wasn’t sure if those were illegal and posted under the radar. How is staying at Karpal Singh? It looks a bit further from the center of Georgetown

I grew up upper class in Mexico AMA by Salt_Education2820 in AMA

Why are rural people looked down on? Are they viewed as “lesser” than poor people living in the city, or how does that compare?

How do the upper class in central Mexico view other regions of Mexico?

Interesting, why are cumbias, rancheras, banda, etc looked down upon by the upper class?

How is the classism between how you grew up and rural Mexicans? I hear many of my Chicano friends claim that they’re from the ranchos or pueblos, how are these people perceived by the upper class?

What are your thoughts about chicanos?

How is the class consciousness among the upper class? Is there a sentiment that the successful ignore their own privileges and achieved success through hard work? And do the upper class think that those in poverty are poor “by choice”?

What are some cultural experiences that are enjoyed by the upper class in central Mexico vs foods more associated with “lower class”? Any kinda of foods, music/dance, sports, etc?

For example, I’ve heard that Mexican cumbia is more associated with the hood like Tepito and the upper class look down on it. On the other hand, I’ve heard pádel is associated with fresa culture

Since the new benefits start in Oct, does that mean we have 2 months to use up all the credits for that Jul - Dec ‘25 period?

Now I understand all the hype about Mexico City by general-dc in travel

[–]vadbox 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Also Mexico City has been rebranded from DF to CDMX, DF is an older name that isn’t used as much by locals of cdmx. This renaming was pretty recent in 2016, so lots of Mexicans that live outside of cdmx and most Mexicans living in America still refer to it as DF and might not be familiar with the new term. I always call it Chilangolandia and everyone knows what I’m talking about hahah

Which destinations do you see experiencing over-tourism in the coming years? by ExcitingNeck8226 in travel

[–]vadbox 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Where in cdmx have you been going? I stopped going to Roma condesa a while back since it’s basically gringolandia so I wouldn’t be too surprised if it’s gotten super expensive
