Re: Wise formerly Transferwise

Does anyone have any recommendation for an alternative to Wise which at least comes close to the USD interest rate (currently at 5.04%). If you have a Binance crypto account and feel comfortable converting them to stablecoins you can get over 7% on USDT. https://www.binance.com/en/earn/simple-earn ...

There seems to be plenty options in the U.K. for my GBP savings but as a Brit expat, I can't seem to find anything that's as good as Wise for my greenbacks... :che...

Re: Slide fan recommend

We also disliked our old Dyson fan. Found the airflow/noise ratio quite poor
Ended up buying a cheap Hatari one from Homepro with a remote control which is handy.
Pleased enough with it.

Re: The i-things - Apple devices and software thread

Best place for battery replacement in old iPhone? Hi! I have an old iPhone that needs a battery replacement. Can anyone recommend a gode shop for this? In MV third floor, there's a gazillion places, but it's hard to know if which to choose. And I guess that MV isn't the only place for this kind of ...

Recently watched Matchstick Men (2003) with Rockwell & Nic Cage.

Re: Photo Trip Report: Camping The North

This was when the trip started to get interesting with a drive on the now famous 1081 mountain road to Sapun, a quaint mountain town also growing in popularity after featuring on Thai TV and social media. I've done that road on the Ninja. One of my favourite roads in Thailand :D . That and the road...

Re: A trip to Yunnan, China.

On the second day in Lijiang I had a plan to go to Black Dragon Pool Park, I had read the scenery would be great with the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain at the background. I had decided to find a bus that would go there and this time I was lucky as I found the bus stop fairly easily and not far from my ...

Re: A trip to Yunnan, China.

I visited Lijiang several years ago. Thoroughly recommend it for a visit.
Do not, however, make the mistake I did of travelling there during the spring festival!!
