Re: Seeking advice

I made a foolish mistake a few months ago and trusted a shrewd provincial bar girl. Of course, she turned me over. I lost everything - my bicycle, my laptop, my motorbike, my phone, my room, my cash, my security. Serves me right, I know! I don't seek sympathy. I ended up sleeping on the street and ...

Going south soon. Okay so took a train from Da Nang to Nha Trang. The weather in January is just plain ...

Re: New rules for foreign visitors to Malaysia

When i entered Malaysia I just got a stamp, no questions asked, big line, waited about 2 hours. I left 85 days later. On the way out they took a look at the passport for a few minutes. We get 90 days legally. I think they were trying to figure out how many days i have left before im over 90. Stamped...

Re: Experience w/ Asiana airlines + 2 hour transfer times

try kiwi dot com.

i just use it to spy flights that are not with the same airline, then book it direct through the airline that is listed. These are mostly self transfer hacks, if you can stomach entering a country then leaving, and boarding again and have time to spare.
