inJust found out some hostels in Bangkok charge less for a bed if you book directly by phone
Hold on, you found a phone number that actually worked? I'm more shocked by that than the price drop. I figured those contact links just went into a digital void. Makes me wonder how many other places still operate on a call for the real price system.

inI was sure the 'informational interview' thing was a waste of time
My cousin did something similar but it backfired. She talked to a graphic designer who spent the whole time complaining about client budgets and tight deadlines. It made her rethink that career path entirely, which was useful but in a really depressing way. Those chats can show you the bad sides you never see in a job posting. Sometimes the real picture is a turn-off.
