The Questions Thread

[Holy Foley!]

Juve/Atletico or Juve/Totenham in that order unless your mate is a Victory fan. Best seats are pretty much same as the football really.

Thanks mate

Looking at buying tickets to the International Champions Cup at the MCG for a mate's birthday. Which of the 3 matches would be the best to see? I.e Juventus vs Melbourne Victory, Juventus vs Tottenham or Tottenham vs Atletico Madrid. Also where are the best seats to view soccer games? (never been to one so I have no clue).

Cheers

True soccer fans sit behind the goals. Everywhere else is for mothers and nerds.

Must be lots of mothers and nerds in the world. Or half empty stadiums.

Well duh, have you seen the general public

I went to last years Roma vs Real Madrid game purely to see the stars and whilst I loved the opportunity to see Ronaldo and Totti in Melbourne it really was the worst match I've ever been to.

Which is why I think the Victory vs Juve game has the potential to be the best for spectators, especially considering last year the Euro clubs clearly didn't give a shit and were barely even playing at training ground pace. At least Victory players will want to make a contest of it and will play for pride, plus if the home fans embrace the game it will be a much better atmosphere too.

Just smoke the weed, it'll calm the nerves you might have about inhaling second hand smoke

Why is there a music thread on the general discussion board that has 50+ pages when there is a whole music board for discussing music? Do you feel like you do not belong over there because each board is like a little family and you don't mix with the other tribes?

I had a mate who smoked weed and drove the next day, and got off. However, there was still a small amount of weed in his system.

Is there a certain mg you have to be under or is it zero?

I have an interview with Tennis Victoria tomorrow morning at their AAMI Park offices.

My question is, what does it mean when an address, such as theirs, reads '110/102 - 110 Olympic Boulevard'? What does the 110/102 mean?

I'm a little concerned I might not be able to find the correct place to go, as that whole sporting precinct is confusing to me. Cheers.

If you can't find it make sure you give them a serve, and let them know it wasn't your fault

It all depends on how long you're here, but yeah, you could spend all your time in Seoul and not be disappointed. If you only have a week, I'd spend it all in Seoul. If you have a few weeks, definitely get out to the country and to Jeju Island. It's a totally different world out there. Seoul is a fantastic place to visit, and I'd recommend five days at least. There's plenty to do. I came to Korea by chance in 2014 while I was travelling Asia, had no idea what to expect, but loved it and ended up staying 2.5 months. I came back to live and work about 13 months ago.

Busan is the second biggest city, about a three-hour rapid train trip away from Seoul. It's great for a few days and has fantastic weather and beaches, but as far as nightlife or landmarks, Seoul leaves it for dead. Daegu is the third biggest city, but there's not much happening there. The rural towns that are certainly worth a day or two are Sokcho (outdoors, beaches, mountains, tourist friendly) and Gyeongju (culture and tradition, tombs). Jeju Island is a $50, 45-minute flight from Seoul, definitely worth the trip. Gwangju is cool if you have any interest in the democratisation of Korea in the 80s.

If you have two weeks, I'd say: Seoul (5), Sokcho (2), Busan (2), Gyeongju (1), Jeju (3).

My must-do things would Seoul would be:
-climb Bukhansan
-go up the N Seoul Tower on Namsan
-nights out in Hongdae, Itaewon, Hyehwa (the nightlife here is fantastic, not something I expected when I came here the first time)
-areas like Jamsil, Gangnam, the Han River, and City Hall during the day
-the palaces and the museums near Insadong (they're all free or less than $2)
-eat the food, drink soju
-Korean War Memorial museum
-go to at least one baseball game, the atmosphere is nuts
-and you could do the DMZ tour to the North Korean border, but do the more expensive one (negotiation room), the cheap one isn't really worth it

I keep getting these annoying messages on a lot of sites I visit, "Shockwave Flash has crashed - Reload", and "Could not load Shockwave Flash". What the heck is Shockwave Flash and how do I get rid of this, it's slowing things down big time (There doesn't seem to be anything to click to remedy the situation )

Sounds like you're trying to watch pr0n!
Go to the adobe shockwave page and download the latest version, then you might have to update your web browser too. Happens every so often to me and that usually fixes it.

 

[Quivorir]

I thought shockwave was dead.

Either Way, use Chrome and not IE.

If you're using Firefox that's the problem. Got to a point where it's unusable

To be fair, all internet browsers are pretty shite nowadays.
