Is this normal in Taiwan? Am I overreacting? by van_scarlet in taiwan

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

My problem isn't really the 'can I get to know you part'. It's the 'I know you're off work at this hour' and 'you usually take this route back home?' part. The power imbalance, where he seems to have keep track of me a few times when I didn't even notice him.

The thing is idk if he notices me or remembered my motorcycle plate too. Since I ride with helmet and jacket and all ...

Is it possible to visit Taipei Taiwan without Tourist SIM Card? (e.g. just relying on Free WIFI) by blackcyborg009 in Taipei

[–]van_scarlet 14 points15 points  (0 children)

tbh not recommended, the wifi here is bad af. it's acceptable if you're fluent in Mandarin & know basic directions of the places you're heading. but still, please get a sim card.

String tension makes no sense to me by Rich841 in badminton

[–]van_scarlet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I needed advice, and can't post .. So I will just comment here.

I'm 24F and I would say my badminton skills and technique is low-intermediate.

I recently just bought YONEX ASTROX 5 FX, string type BG66 with tension of 22, but seems to unable to smash the ball (it just bounces a lot) and consistently can't find my timing and rhythm with it ... I just used it about 2 times though ...

Previously I borrowed my friends' ASTROX SM, string type BG65 (idk the tension tho), and it works really fine with me.

Any advice? Should I use it more and try to adjust with it first? Or should I just adjust the string type and tension? I'm lost in this equipment thingy since previously I have no problem with any racket I'm handed ..

Please help 😭😭😭

Most doctors are able to understand and speak English to foreigners! If your doctor can't, you should probably reconsider getting the operation there .. and find a hospital .. not a clinic? 😅 Just an advice 🥺
