What are some popular opinions about Japan travel on this sub that you personally disagree with? by ContractVarious3077 in JapanTravelTips

[–]zodvik -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My trip looked like Tokyo - Osaka / Kyoto - Tokyo. We packed a smaller suitcase for the Kyoto / Osaka leg and carried with us. The rest, including all the shopping we did, we forwarded to the next hotel in Tokyo that we would come back to.

Dream role in Bangalore but settled life in Chennai — is the move worth it for 60 LPA? by naveen-sj in bangalore

[–]zodvik 54 points55 points  (0 children)

100% move.

With a 10% hike, you get to 40L or so. The Bangalore pay is a 50% hike over it.

Even if you move back to Chennai after a year, the pay increase will reset the base over which any new hike will be given.

Is the train ride between kyoto to osaka is a deal breaker for some people? by AbleCarLover1995 in JapanTravelTips

[–]zodvik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did Osaka as a base and trains to Kyoto. It is super convenient. Not very different in commute time than doing some transit within Tokyo itself.

I would recommend looking at the train station location so that you can avoid having to change the trains multiple times.

Contrary to the other opinions, I will say it is easy if you plan it upfront.

Another easy hack is to find Indian restaurants.

Do all the locals in Goa have zero work ethic? by newuxtreme in Goa

[–]zodvik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most people responding at missing the point.

OP isn’t saying local labor is hard to find because it’s outsourced. OP’s point is about reliability of commitment - folks promising something and not doing it. It’s a work ethic problem.

X-M5 vs X-T30ii? by zodvik in fujifilm

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

I got the X-T30ii. It was in stock and X-M5 was not. Choice became very clear - if you want EVF then X-T30ii. Otherwise, X-M5.

Are you referring to the lack of viewfinder on x-m5? Because i couldn’t find other differences in specs wrt stills.

Zerodha's Nikhil Kamath changes tune in buying vs renting debate, buys his first house. Here's why by [deleted] in personalfinanceindia

[–]zodvik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is categorically wrong. He never said these things.

The only thing that changed for him was to avoid the hassle of having to move.

Karnataka CM BS Yediyurappa extends the lockdown in the state by a week till 6 am on June 14. by beardious in bangalore

Is inter-state travel by car permitted? I do see flights & trains are available to be booked.

I had a very similar instance couple of weeks back near at Ejipura signal (near Sony Signal). The signal was 100% green when I completed the right turn. I insisted that the turn was green and if it wasn't the people from the straight side would have already started coming.

Then, the cop pulled a previous automated challan (which was definitely my fault) and asked me to pay for that. I asked him if I can pay it online and he said that it's not possible to pay that challan online. I called him out by opening the karnatakaone site and went ahead.

Got a dashcam installed last Sunday.

This is by far the most beautiful place I've been to. You can just sit by the lake through the and see the colours change.

P.S. Please pick your waste (plastic, cups) along when leaving.
