Indian Influencer couple looses cool at Vietnam restaurant coz staff requested to control the child's behavior

An Indian restaurant in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, has alleged that an Indian family damaged its property and threatened staff after being asked to prevent their children from throwing items around the dining area. The incident reportedly occurred at Bombay Bites HCM, a well-known Indian restaurant located in the city's District 1 tourist district. The restaurant later shared details of the incident on Instagram, stating that the situation escalated after staff politely requested the parents to stop their child from scattering tissues across the dining area.

According to the restaurant's owner, Manmeet, the children began throwing tissues shortly after entering the restaurant. Despite being asked by the staff to stop, they allegedly continued, with the parents reportedly giving them additional tissues. He claimed that when staff intervened once more, the family became upset and went on to damage the restaurant's property. His wife, Aishwarya Khanna Singh, further alleged that the staff were verbally abused, property was vandalized, and the family attempted to evade responsibility by identifying themselves as influencers.

In an Instagram post, Singh wrote, "Let us be very clear: A restaurant is not a playground. Our staff are not targets for anger or entitlement. And influencer does not place anyone above basic manners. Civic sense means teaching children accountability, respecting public property, and understanding that rules exist so everyone can enjoy the space safely and comfortably. When these values are ignored, it affects workers, other guests, and the business as a whole."

Sri Lanka's hidden Gem - Ambuluwawa Tower

Located atop Ambuluwawa Mountain near Gampola town, the iconic Ambuluwawa Tower is one of Sri Lanka’s unique viewpoints. You can reach there from Kandy in one hour.

Rising over 3,500 feet above sea level, it is constructed within the Ambuluwawa Biodiversity Complex, a symbol of religious harmony and environmental conservation. The tower is famous for its narrow spiral staircase that wraps around the outer walls. It creates a thrilling climb experiences, not for the faint-hearted! As you ascend, the steps become increasingly narrow, rewarding you with breathtaking 360-degree views of clouded mountains, forests, and villages. Still relatively undiscovered, Ambuluwawa remains a secret gem and unforgettable adventure in Sri Lanka.

Did Andharban in June 2025. Still thinking about it.

A year late with this review, but some experiences stick with you.
I’d wanted to do the Andharban Forest Trail for years, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. It’s not a steep climb, but it’s a long trek through beautiful forests, waterfalls, misty valleys, and endless greenery.
We went with Dark Green Adventures, and our trek lead Krishna did a great job balancing safety with freedom. We got clear instructions, safety briefings, and assembly points in case anyone got separated, while still being able to enjoy the trail at our own pace.
Our group had 11 people, including women trekkers, and the overall vibe was comfortable, respectful, and well-organized throughout.
One tip: if you can, try going on a weekday. The trail feels much more peaceful, and you’ll avoid a lot of the weekend crowds.
Looking back, it’s genuinely one of the best outdoor experiences I’ve had. If Andharban has been on your list, I’d highly recommend it.

Travelling to Hvar (Croatia) in July, need budgeting help!

As the title states I will be visiting Croatia during July for 8 days and I am trying to budget my way through the vacation.

We will be staying in Hvar, more specifically in Stari Grad and there are a few issues regarding budget that I will point out:

  1. We want to rent a car but it seems that, asides from the standard 100 to 300 euro deposit, most rental places ask for 1k to 1,4k of bail just to get you a car. How am I suppose to move around the island and go out at night if I don't have a car or dont want to rent one at that cost? (Can't ride motorcycle, just to clear that out)
  2. We will be having lunch at home but mostly will have dinner out, how realistic is it to expect to spend between 15 to 25 euro per meal on a restaurant? And are supermarkets really that expensive over there?
  3. Is a budget of 400-500 euro enough for these 8 days in the island?

These are the main issues, if you do know anything about Hvar I deeply appreciate the help.

If not, please redirect me to the correct subreddit to ask for help regarding my travels to Croatia!

Cunca Plias

Cunca Plias is one of the less explored waterfalls in Flores Island, Indonesia. It is 40kms east of Labuan Bajo and takes an hour by car to reach the trailhead. This multi-tiered waterfall offers natural swimming pools, scenic rock formations, and a peaceful atmosphere in lush green rainforests. A short trek through local villages and greenery leads to the falls. The crystal-clear water and untouched surroundings provide an authentic Flores experience beyond the famous Komodo Islands.
