The only other I had was Kirin beer, but that was a bit too malty for my liking. Ha, after drinking light, fizzy, highly carbonated Asian beer for the last 5 years, I'd love something really malty once in a while! Other than Sapporo, Beer Lao is probably the best one for me. Tiger is decent too. There are plenty of beers that are very drinkable in Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia, but they are just too generic... I'd love a Schwarzbier right now Or any proper German or Czech beer, really. Preferably dark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 There was a bar in Sydney that done $12 jugs of Tiger, that place was like home. More because of the price than the Tiger though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For that equivalent price in London you could get a half-pint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted November 13, 2018 Subscriber Share Posted November 13, 2018 My son bought around some cans of Tiger once he got from Sainsbury's, not bad but I had to put into a pint glass as I don't like drinking out of cans.

Same; can't stand drinking out of cans... Regarding prices: local beer costs 0.5-1$ in a bar here, 1.5-3$ for a regular imported beer, 4-5$ for German Weizenbier and the likes. Drank Saigon Special for 18000VND (less than a dollar) in Vietnam last week; that was the most expensive beer they had too haha. The others were even cheaper but also not that good.

For that equivalent price in London you could get a half-pint Haha honestly mate you don't know about expensive beers until you go to New Zealand. Standard price over Auckland is about 12 dollars which is 6 quid. At home no matter where you are you can find a pub where you can bring a twenty and get anywhere between 5-8 beers depending on price, and waking up after a few drinks having only spent twenty quid is amazing. Do the same out here and you've nearly drunk $50-$100 and closer to $100 tbh. Then you look at your bank after paying rent and think well that's my last night out for the week. It's brutal on the bank balance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 So I just called a bus company in Acre, and despite having services that run from the borders of Peru and Bolivia, not a single person there could speak Spanish. It feels weird though, you take a few steps within the border and all of the sudden nobody else around you could speak the same langauge as yourself. I remember the last time I was in Brazil, nobody could speak anything other than Portuguese. However, that was on the east coast. This is on the border with 2 Spanish speaking countries, that run bus services twice a day. @El Profesor is probably the best English speaker of non-foreigners in Brazil. Unique.

Bloody hell man, I wish I could write and speak English like you and speak different languages, the only other language I know besides English is if I stub my big toe and then yell out "AAAAHHH...you fucking bastard!!".
