Firstly, this bitch is heavy! iPhone weighed 171g and Find x9 weighs 224g. It doesn't sound like much of a difference but when scrolling in bed my hands can definitely feel it 😂 although it makes sense with the monster lenses.

Secondly, while I'm sure it's much better than it used to be, it is a lot of faff switching everything over from iPhone to Android. Most of my photos were stored in iCloud so had to go through the transfer request to Google Photos. Didn't take as long as some people have said (even with 25k photos & videos) but still waiting on the metadata to copy over. It also seems like if I want to store a copy of photos or videos in Google photos on my device it's another whole faff. Haven't decided what to do about that yet.

I'm sure if I stayed with android in future it would be more straight forward but I'm coming from the zero effort of Apple copying over from one iPhone to another. It's taken me a while to go through everything and make sure things have copied over, sorting out new cloud storage and figuring out which apps for things I like best.

You can't add Apple products to Google Find My. This is a bit of a pain because I have airpods and a MacBook, is there an easier way to centralise all device locations?

The share with iPhone feature has not once picked up my iPhone. I've had Bluetooth on both devices switched on and appear for everyone setting on iPhone switched on. I've had to download O+ connect on iPhone which does work. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Not ideal to ask someone to download an app just to share a photo.

The camera is the reason why I bought the phone (and also cause f**k apple) and I've switched to master mode and I'm excited to try it out on my travels to central America next week!

It will take a few weeks to get used to the unfamiliar OS but so far I'm glad I made the switch! (Despite my complaining above)

Any tips to help the transition easier or getting the best out of my new phone are welcomed!

Hey! I’m doing a group tour over 5 weeks through Central America starting in Mexico and working all the way down finishing in Costa Rica. The trip doesn’t include Panama which I want to add on. The only thing is I don’t know where else to visit besides Panama City.

In Costa Rica we do Monteverde, La Fortuna and San Jose but a total of around 5 days in Costa Rica. We finish in San Jose and then I have roughly 7-10 days to play with to explore more places, including Panama.

The question is, where to go from San Jose? The tour is pretty active and full on so I’d like a few days of rest by a Caribbean beach before going back to tourist mode in Panama City. There’s a shuttle from there to Bocas Del Toro but I’ve heard mixed views of Bocas. Should also mention I’m a female solo traveller. Puerto Viaje and San Blas islands also been mentioned but perhaps better to do San Blas as a day trip? Saw you could sail the islands on a boat through a company and I think that would be incredible but I recently did the island expedition from El Nido to Coron for 3 nights, would that be too similar?

I’ll be flying back to Europe so need to finish somewhere with an international airport.

Any and all suggestions welcome!

Hola! Would anyone near Wexford town or Enniscorthy areas be up for a Spanish Language Exchange?
I'm 34F and originally from Wexford and learning Spanish primarily for travel. My level is around an A2/B1 and I want to practice speaking more! Maybe you're learning too and want to improve or perhaps you can already speak Spanish and you just want to keep up your conversation skills! OR, you're a native Spanish speaker and you want to improve your English - we can exchange over a coffee! :)

Hiya

Where is the best place to view the eclipse in Wexford tonight?

Hiya, looking for a bar for Wednesday night in Waterford city - either a gay bar or somewhere with pop music for a bit of a dance or some live trad!

I’ve been learning Spanish on and off for a few years. The same cycle happens each time - get close to a B1 level, something happens to discourage me (e.g when I visited Mexico and I couldn’t understand anyone) and I stop my practice, dropping back down to an A2. Then I have to start building it back up again.

Recently I’ve been really focusing and putting a lot of effort into my practice, more weekly hours than I’ve ever spent on it and I could see myself moving back up to a B1 level again. However today in my group Spanish class the teacher paired me up with someone who really struggles to speak and would probably be around a weak A2 level “because we were the same level”. This bummed me out so much. I don’t like to compare myself to others but I really thought I was coming along well and to be told that my level is still so beginner was such a kick in the teeth. I hope it was just because we were both the weaker students in the class (which was B1/B2 level) but I can feel the doubt creeping in again. I always struggled with languages, they were my weakest subjects in school and I feel like I have to work extra hard to make any progress.

Does anyone else relate?

Hiya,

I’m working in the Aviva on Sunday from 10am until late in the evening. Is there somewhere to park nearby fairly cheap? Or given that it’s a Sunday could I be so lucky to get free parking somewhere?

Thanks!

So…how are y’all getting Tretinoin without a prescription? Or if you have it with a prescription then how do you get it from your doctor if you don’t have acne?

Hiya, would like to go with my Mam (who had tickets) to Jools Holland in the opera house tomorrow but tickets are too expensive to buy. Is there anyone selling them reduced?

Hey!

Has anyone done this G Adventures trip and can give me an insight into what it was like, particularly about the travel between places, was it long and did you feel like you had enough time in each place?

Also interested to know if anyone did this trip and also did the add on hike to Acatanengo Volcano. It seems it's not an overnight hike and I guess just up and down in the one day which is kind of disappointing because I would love to see the volcano at sunrise! Any experiences here would be very helpful :)

Thank you!

Hola todos!

I'm 33F, a native English speaker and seeing a Spanish exchange partner hopefully longterm. I enjoy chatting about all subjects and in my spare time I like to read, watch TV series and go to the gym. I love travel and I'm hoping to spend a few months in Madrid later this year to really help with my Spanish speaking.

I'm at a B1 level although I'm out of practice with speaking so that could be around A2 until I brush up! I'm happy to exchange all levels of English or if there's something specific you need to improve your english for (e.g a job interview etc) then I can help with that.

Muchas gracias!

Hiya,

Is there anyone organising a pick up or social basketball session anywhere in Wexford? I don’t want to join a club but would be great to get to play somewhere!
