“I shared it because La Perla was playing, and I didn’t even read what it said. My bad. Sorryyyyyyyy.😭😭😭”

I'm a new mate drinker living in East Asia, and I'm looking for some advice on where to buy yerba online with reasonable shipping rates to this part of the world.

Locally, I can easily get Taragüi at a very fair price, but the variety stops there. If I want to try other brands like Playadito, Rosamonte, the local prices are marked up so high that I just can't bring myself to buy them. They are also not as common as Taragüi.

For those of you living in Asia, where do you get your yerba? Are there any hidden gems, specific Asian distributors, or websites with cheaper flat-rate shipping that you'd recommend?

Thanks in advance! ¡Saludos! 🧉

I saw a recent interview clip of Billie Eilish where she was asked about the best live performances she’s ever seen, and she specifically mentioned Rosalía’s Coachella 2019 set.

It caught my attention because I’ve actually never watched that full performance before, so I got curious and started digging for it. But after searching pretty much everywhere online, I still couldn’t find a full recording of the set.

Does anyone here happen to have a link or know where to watch the complete performance? Would really love to see it.

Hi everyone!

I’m a 24-year-old female from Asia. I’ve traveled to Japan and other developed areas before, but I’ve wanted to visit Vietnam for ages. My friends and family are completely uninterested—they just want to stick to Japan.

After days of waiting for answers and trying to compromise, I finally reached my limit today. I stopped waiting, went online, and booked a 7-day, 6-night solo trip to Hanoi this November. (I’m nervous bc it’s gonna be my first ever solo travel to other countries)

I’ve seen so many negative reviews about Hanoi on Reddit(mostly about traffic environment and pollution etc) that I’m starting to get worried.

So I’d love to hear from the locals or people who have been there recently:

1. Is Hanoi really that "bad"? For someone who actually enjoys authentic, non-touristy experiences and local life, will I find Hanoi charming or just stressful?

2. Safety for a solo female: Is street theft common enough that I should be worried about my camera and phone?

3. The "Chaos": For those used to orderly East Asian travel (like Japan), is the culture shock in Hanoi manageable or overwhelming?

4. Anything you think I should know before heading to Hanoi? Any places and food I shouldn’t miss?

I think I’m brave for doing this, but I could really use a reality check from people who love (or even have a love-hate relationship with) this city. Thanks!
