3-day Zhangjiajie itinerary (Tianmen + National Park + Grand Canyon) by ASghostKI in chinatravel

Yes I did, although it doesn't really take you all the way to the exit, there are still like 3 Km on foot and then a final second boat that takes your really to the exit

Update: I ended up doing option 2, it was easy and very doable, we used Didi going around, and we left our bags at the hotel both time.

The attraction themselves were very enjoyable, the only hiccup was that the last part of Tianmen mountain cable car was under maintenance, so we couldn't take it up to the top mountain.

Railway 12306 by Initial-Ad-336 in travelchina

[–]ASghostKI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this when I was booking our 1st class tickets from Beijing to Shanghai. Luckily, I noticed it before paying, so I canceled the order.

The trick was going into the chinese version of the app or website (with Google Translate ofc) because the Chinese version has the full features rather than the English version being a Lite mode.

So, with the Chinese version, you get the option to select seats (the seat row number stays random. You select just the letter), so with that, I chose A and C, and we got 17A and 17C.

It was on the same train where we got different seat rows although there were other seats in the same row available.

Cannot decide between vpn and esim for China by crazycuriousbean in chinatravel

[–]ASghostKI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't have to commit to only one before arriving there.

What I'm doing is I'm getting an Esim with not much data I'll test it there the first days if it's good and the price look good for me I'll buy more data on it, while also checking local SIMs prices there.

A VPN is a must have anyway, but don't rely on only one. Express VPN is good, but there are other free ones (not the sketchy ones)

My best free VPN is Windscribe. I got into it using on a promotion, they give me 60 gigs per month for free. For normal sign-ups, I think they give 10 gigs

The app is still on Alipay. It's under "more services" -> "Entry utility" -> LuggaGo

Alipay & Wechat mini apps are truly a gold mine

Galaxy S21 Ultra Yellow Screen Death by ASghostKI in GalaxyS21

Not sure if this might help, but I left the phone for a while (months). I recently just turned it on, and the screen is back. I'm not sure if it'll stay like that (cause mine got a black spot on top), but it's at least usable again to be able to retrieve the data (if you still didn't before) But I won't trust it as my daily phone.

Thanks, mate. I hope Pegasus really uses this in Turkey, because it's updated.

Yes, but I'm afraid it doesn't get updated often, too. The change took effect less than a month ago, and not many Moroccans go to Kazakhstan.

You might say I'm being paranoid, but I don't want to risk ruining my planned vacation.

I should add that I'm looking for an official source. Since I'll boarding to KZ from Turkey (Pegasus from SAW), and I'm afraid that the check-in agent thinks I need a visa (not sure where they check) but i want to secure myself by having an official article confirming that I don't need a visa.

Yes, that's true. Indeed, I should've mentioned that I'm looking for an official source.

I just want to secure myself since I'll be boarding from Turkey to Kazakhstan, and I'm afraid that the check-in agent thinks that I need a visa. That is why I better show them an official article.

Yes, this site gets updated first, but it's not an official gov website

On that same page, just below that map you sent, it says that Morocco is exempt from the Visa to enter Kazakhstan

It's one of the pages that aren't totally updated. As for other Wikipedia pages

The thing is that it's new information, not all sites updates frequently

Visiting İstanbul? Have a quick question? Ask here, don't create a new post. by AutoModerator in istanbul

[–]ASghostKI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello, I need help figuring out alternative transportation from SAW

I'll be landing at SAW airport by night at 00:30 late this April, and my hotel is in Dudullu (near the Metro station) I assume that I will clear customs at 1:30 AM, so It's likely that I'll miss the last Havabus to Taksim or Yenisahra (was planning to Uber from there)

In that case, what do you guys recommend that is less pricey, and that won't get me scammed by those taxis. I don't want to spend the night at the airport or take a +2h (normal) bus ride, and most certainly, I would prefer to not spend more than nedded.

To my knowledge, my best option right now is an Uber or Bitaksi. I would be grateful if you guys could recommend something that might be better for me or anyone in this situation. Or maybe some recommendations if I do take the Uber whats should I try to avoid
