Travel Tips by Westhill Consulting Tours - 10 Things to Know About Travel in Southeast Asia
By travelwesthill
Lots of globetrotters and backpackers have journeyed to the fertile and culturally rich Southeast Asia. Known for its beautiful beaches, mesmerizing historical sights and a touch of adventurousness, this comparatively inexpensive travel destination baits thousands amongst thousands of people every year with landmarks like Angkor Wat, Cambodia; the city of Bangkok, Thailand; and the scenic views of Ha Long Bay, Vietnam. Don’t forget Jakarta Indonesia a surprise in Southeast Asia.
As much as we highly recommend you visit these places, the prudent traveler will do his/her homework as to abide the laws and traditions of these very different countries, as well as be prepared to face the risks, both financial and otherwise that could wind up tarnishing your vacation.
Almost everything is negotiable, almost: Haggling can be more beneficial in Southeast Asia than in most places in the world. Vendors at most malls and shops do not have price tags and it is common that when you ask for one, the price will be quite high because it looks like you have cash to burn. Don’t be afraid to ask for a lower price since another vendor just a few feet way is sure to be selling the same thing.
The food is great, just be careful: Renowned for its amazing cuisine, both on the street and in the restaurants, eating in SE Asia is one of the most exciting parts of going, but be cautious before eating just anything. One tip is to check if you see other patrons dining at a location before you go in.
Also, many of these countries have free English-written dining guides. Check them out.
Watch your pockets: Whether you are on the back of a motorbike or walking down the street, muggings and scams happen everywhere. Keep your personal belongings near to you at all times, perhaps consider a fanny pack or only bringing along essentials where you’re out of the hotel. This is a justified warning.
There is more to life than ‘backpacker street’: SE Asian countries have become very good at creating mini-tourism hubs of inexpensive hotels or hostels and surrounding them with vendors and bars and everything you need so that you don’t leave.
Granted, in places like Saigon and Bangkok, they are a lot of fun, but make a point to get out and explore other places. You’ll never know what’s waiting just around the corner.
Wetshill Consulting Travel & Tours based in Singapore specializes in in giving advice and tips for tourists from Australia, Canada, US and all countries all over the world.
Check the local rags and mags: As I mentioned before, most SE Asian countries have English-written guides. That’s because in a number of countries there, there is already an established community of expatriates. If you are looking to just find your bearings and want a safe bet on places to go, pick one up.
Be prepared to be approached by strangers: Locals in Southeast Asia are often very nice toward westerners and truthfully enjoy telling you how nice you look. Whether it is coming from a man or woman, get ready for a swarm of compliments on your appearance. It may seem a little strange at first, but you will get used to it. I promise.
This scotch does not taste like scotch: Drinks are a quarter of the price than what you’d find in Europe or in the U.S., the reason being that many of the typical name brands are regionally produced and use local ingredients, so don’t be shocked when your beloved Grey Goose on ice tastes a little different from what you are used to. Use the opportunity to try some very interesting locally produced spirits.
Take the tour deals seriously: Pretty much anywhere you go (of the major tourist destinations) there are sure to be tour pamphlets sitting around with great deals. From boat rides to day trips, there are great tours around that will get you where you need to go.
Hire local transport for the day: One great way to get around is to hire a tuk tuk or a moto-driver for the whole day to take you everywhere you want to go for a very nominal price. Your driver can also work as a de facto tour guide, getting you around to the spots you may not have thought of and that you would regret not seeing.
When you can, take a bus or train: When it comes to budget traveling, this is the way. Night buses get you from one country to the next for next to nothing, although they do take longer, no doubt about that. Roads between many destinations are well enough to travel, although there are going to be bumpy rides. None the less, when you need to do it on the cheap, this is the best option.

Color coding of arrows based on level of nesting and open/closed state
1st suggestion:
Have some sort of color coding based on the level of nesting. the top level folder might be red. a folder in that folder might have an orange arrow. a level 3 folder may have a yellow arrow, and so on, repeating back at red for nesting beyond 6 or 7.
2nd suggestion: have the "right arrow" and "down arrow" be visually different. They would be more visually distinct. They aren't that hard to tell apart currently, but I think it would ease visual distinction a lot. For instance, leave the right arrow as is. Have the down arrow be be hollow - just a gray border of a triangle while the inside of the triangle is transparent.
Highlight row
Only the line-number is highlighted for current row; I would like to be able to customise colour for the entire line, preferably with an opacity setting.
Hold Home to glance at top, then release to return to previous scroll position.
I need to glance at member variables now and then, and it would be nice to be able to press and hold Home until I’m ready to return to typing. It would save me from additional keystrokes and would leave my cursor position in the same place onscreen before press and after release.
I could see the same functionality potentially being useful for End in a Pythonic if __name__ == '__main__' situation.

The Rare Group: Rare's Values
Rare’s values define who we are as an organization as well as individual employees. They support our mission, shape our culture and reflect what Rare and our staff hold as important. It means we dream big, we hold ourselves accountable, and we stay positive even in the face of tremendous challenges. They represent a fundamental piece of Rare’s brand.
Commitment to Accountability
We crave accountability and seek to measure our individual and collective contributions. Accountability lets us know who is responsible, who to thank when efforts work, who to lend support when they do not. We rely on defined goals, clear measures, and transparency to assess performance and to make accountability an organizational strength.
Courage to Take Risks
We believe we can learn as much from our mistakes as from our accomplishments and encourage an environment of risk taking and self-reflection. We see failure as an opportunity to learn from where we initially have fallen short and make it better next time. This is why we talk about “failing fast,” which means quickly learning from our mistakes. We understand how failure often paves the way for success, and we work to make sure this happens.
Investments in People
We trust the talent and ingenuity of our staff, our colleagues and our partners to find win-win solutions when none seem possible. To pursue our mission, we commit to making both financial and emotional investments in people. There is no higher return-on-investment in our field.
Mindset of Solutionology
We look at the world with optimism and possibility. We are inspired by the power of “bright spots,” those proven solutions that deserve emulation and expansion, and we seek to repeat them. Anyone can name the problem. It takes a solutionologist, a solutionminded individual, to identify what is already working and build on creative ideas to help illuminate a path forward.
Spirit of Celebration
We believe that appreciation, praise and celebration are necessary to empower and support ourselves and others. As conservation does not bring daily victories, we work hard to celebrate our progress—however small—and remind ourselves to remain positive until the next big win comes along.
Auto Complete variable names with dots in the names
I would like Auto Complete to work for variable names that have a dot or a underscore in them for example: X.test or X_test. Right now if I type X it only shows X in the Auto complete list not X.test
