Hi, fellow travelers
I am going to south east asia plus UAE next month, I will be traveling 9 countries including UAE, India, Napel, Thiland, Cambodia, Vietnam, Maylasia, Singapore, Bali. I am considering buy Yesim global card, as it cover all these countries I am going to visit. I thougt it would be easier to have one card when traveling from country to contry, instead of buy individual sim card at arrival. has anyone has experiece? is the coverage good, and user friendly? thank you so much!
Hi all, I work remote and my company allow us to work anywhere in the world. I am planning on travelling to Asia the end of the year and would like some recommendations.
My plan so far:
26th Dec: Fly to Bangkok + spend time there until next years (on annual leave) 1st Jan until 20th - Stay in Chiang Mai and work there (planning to spend my mornings + weekends exploring as I’ll be working evenings as it will be UK hours) Last week of Jan (annual leave) Go island hopping around Thailand
After my Thailand trip I’m really unsure where to go next! I’m thinking of staying another 5 weeks and using 2 weeks of annual leave in between working. So anywhere that is good for remote working + easy for day trips at the weekend. 2 more countries to tick off my list would be amazing!
What impression do people have of BRI (Belt and Road Initiative by China)? I've had to read about it a lot for studying purposes and I am struggling to understand the appeal of it, or to be more specific why various governments would agree to be a part of it AFTER we have seen how it can put you in a debt-trap. Have you heard of it and is it discussed in your country's media political landscape?
Hi Reddit,
I'm a carer for an elderly gentlemen who has asked to chew cardamom. Unfortunately he cannot as he has suffered a stroke and risks choking.
I'm wondering if anyone has any good tips for using cardamom for the elderly? Do a similar thing without the choking risk that cultural I may not be aware of. Thanks!
When I looked up the definition for Indid race, I initially got "Being of the racial group of the majority of the Indian subcontinent" from Wiktionary. However, it seems that Wikipedia has an article that does not make this clear and instead makes it seem like "Indid race" is a term for only some indigenous South Asians with a certain phenotype. However, we can change definitions and anthropologists who make a living off of discrediting race while people still use "white" and "black" to refer to race, are quite ineffective and shouldn't be earning money that way. If they were effective, why are "white" and "black" still used to refer to race and why is race ever even mentioned? If race doesn't exist, then exactly what is it? Is it species difference? Sub-species difference? Because Grizzly Bears, Black Bears and Polar Bears can reproduce with each other and unlike mules, the offspring is often fertile etc.. So it is more like a "biracial person."
