To tip or not to tip in Southeast Asia...
After 6 months of living in /chiangmai and /bangkok I learned this week from a Thai and a Taiwanese friend that tipping is not a social norm in Southeast or East Asia.
1 of the friends strongly prefers travelers do not tip as to not change the cultural norm.
It's interesting to think about both sides of whether to tip or not.

I learned about CNA today, Singapore's publicly funded news network, similar to PBS (US) and BBC (UK). Their livestream is an interesting way to learn more about Asia.

South East Asia is home to a burgeoning community of builders and some of the most influential projects in Ethereum!
Listen in as SEA founders Matthew Tan (Etherscan), TN Lee (Pendle), and Loi Luu (Kyber Network & Caliber), share their experiences and answer your questions.

I created /chiangmai today to share everything Chiang Mai (CM) related. Most of what I've been sharing in /sea has been CM focused and it makes sense to have a @warpcast channel on a city level to help others discover info more easily and to allow each community to uniquely grow. A regional channel like /sea makes sense for info that applies across multiple countries.

The Destination Thailand Visa has to be applied for outside of Thailand.
A friend of a friend who advises nomads informed me that they've heard Vietnam, Cambodia, and Indonesia all have quick processing times.

If you want to explore Thailand for up to 6 months this year around @devcon and all of the other events it's worth exploring the new Destination Thailand Visa (DTV).
Hopefully I can convert to DTV because it launched after my trip started.

Interviewer: What's your biggest weakness?
Me: I'll walk up any flight of stairs with public access to see what's at the top.
