Back in 2009, I paid $8 for a bad expresso at Urumqi Airport and felt royally reemed. But due to the one china time zone nonsense, I was up…

This. Regardless the amount an idiot banker will lend you, you should stay within your means. A good rule of thumb is to not borrow more…

Fo shizzle my nizzle! Snoops is an icon who transcends boundaries. I admire how he has been able to reinvent himself to stay relevant. Some…

It began in Africa....

ACA?

Thanks. This is in line with what I've heard elsewhere and from what I've read. Go as big if you can afford it.

I'm considering installing solar, so this is hugely interesting. Out of curiosity, is 8kw a good size for an average family of 4? I know…

Last year, I took 6-months off on long service leave at half pay (roughly 75k per annum over that period) and it was a good test case to…

Does it work on faces? Would love to grow a beard but my Asian genes weren't built that way. Full head of black hair into my late 40s…

Bali is beautiful. The rest of Indonesia is bloody awesome too. I lived in Jakarta for 3 years and didn't miss Australia. The locals make…

What has been lost in this thread is the $165b that tax payers are subsidising NG property owners annualy. Is that where we as a society…

I visited Kyrgyzstan (and 3 other Stans) in '09 and loved it. It was safe and relatively modern even then, and so you'd have no issues now.…

What u talking about, Willis? I lived in KL for years until 2023 and hardly ever used cash. Cash is king for Najib, but for everyone else…

I recently got the Citi Prestige card (I was lured by the 150,000 QF points sign on deal) that comes with unlimited Priority Pass and took…

Can you explain that again. I didn't quite catch it.

I am still unsure how offset accounts work. My PPOR IO loan is $350,000 and for which I pay $1900 per month. I have kept it IO as I own an…

This community member thinks you're a fool for even dreaming this scenario up.

Man, that's cheaper than visiting Singers. Is there way to hack this fare to travel predominately to Singers and just fly to HK on back on…

Is there a reason you went through a broker and not do it yourself from the get go?

I lived oversras for years and would just tap and go for small transactions at the start of every month and never had a problem.

It's not mum, it's Ubank. My misses is Malaysian Chinese and so in all her official documents it shows her family name first, followed by…

I'm in the exact same boat as you, OP. Also in Canberra. In my case, the inner north, close to excellent public schools for the kids so I…

I used to work in Kabul (1800m) and would get whacked each time I landed. My legs felt like lead for 3 days before I recovered. Good luck.

A bit of an outlier? Bro is Grizzly Adams. If he's smug wasting 3 hours each day in traffic, I'd hate to know the rest of his life.

Good deal. Does the data stack?

My neighbour sold he place privately. She letter boxed the surrounding streets and put up flyers around the local strip shops and found a…

Let me just call my man in Dubai and get back to you.

Most folk forget that the RBA rate must be higher than inflation or else it's actually a negative rate. So if CPI is 3.6% (as it is now)…
