Hey, expat living in Vietnam and Netflix works fine here but I'm struggling with everything else. HBO, Amazon Prime and Disney+ all seem to be unavailable or heavily restricted.
Is there any legal way to access them from here? Paid services, bundles, anything? Would rather not go the VPN route as HBO is blocking them if there's a proper option I'm missing.
Thanks!
Hey, I live in Vietnam and we're planning on having a second child, so this came up recently. I've heard that it's actually illegal for doctors to reveal the baby's sex during pregnancy here. Is that true? And if so, is it strictly enforced in practice?
Would love to hear from people with experience, both locals and expats. Thanks!
Hey everyone, earlier this year we did the classic Tokyo/Osaka/Kyoto trip with our toddler and honestly Japan absolutely won us over. Now we're going back for round two but this time we want something way more chill, less temples and bullet trains, more beaches and doing nothing. Okinawa felt like the obvious choice.
8 days, last week of October, kid will be almost 3 by then. A few things I can't figure out:
Where to stay: Should we just base ourselves in Naha the whole trip or does it make sense to move around? Some of those resorts up north look incredible but I'm not sure splitting accommodation with a toddler is worth the hassle. Also, how's the weather late October? Still beach-worthy?
Hotels: Open to anything comfortable and toddler-friendly, from a resort to a decent business hotel. Specific recommendations very welcome.
Beaches: Probably the main reason we're going. Which ones are best with a small child? Calm water, not too crowded, some facilities nearby. We just want him to splash around happily, nothing fancy.
Things to do: Beyond beaches, what's actually fun with a nearly 3 year old? Also, any weird or geeky stuff worth checking out? We're into that kind of thing and Japan never disappoints on that front.
Transport: Do we actually need to rent a car or can we survive on public transport and taxis? Driving on the left in an unfamiliar place with a tired toddler sounds like a recipe for disaster but happy to hear otherwise.
Thanks in advance!
