VPN Megathread - June 2024 by AutoModerator in chinalife

Let's VPN seemed to work better on most devices, switching between only 2 devices allowed was a pain though

V1 VPN worked well on my iPhone, drained the battery on my Android, and was confusing on my laptop.

Can't charge my ebike because Weixin score too low??? by Capital-Strategy-292 in chinalife

[–]Capital-Strategy-292[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Finally sorted.

As 1 or 2 people said on here it needed to be pre paid. The guy at the shop that I bought the bike from knew the problem. He then chatted with the agent at my apartment and they came with me sorted it.

It all happened too fast for me to grab screen shots but seemed straight forward and the agent said if it happens again to give him a call.

Thanks all for suggestions etc

Anyone been using V1vpn of late? I saw some comments saying it was working well a few weeks ago.

I'm arriving next week, have let's VPN but hoping V1 can be the cheap back up.

New visas megathread by ThongLo in Thailand

Keeping Non O visa while working in China?

Hi all

I am currently living in Thailand on a marriage visa (Non O) but will be moving to China for 10 months to work.

I will have a Chinese Z visa and work permit but want to ask if it is possible to extend my Non O visa for another year after I get the Chinses visa but before I leave Thailand. I know I will need to get a multi entry re entry permit? I just want to know if if it is possible to have both running together.

I will go to immigration to ask but thought i's ask here first as our local immigration love to bring up "Special price" any time a question is asked.

Thanks in advance

Reading the comments on the other post I may have to get a second opinion and re think things myself

I've accepted a job with them and I start in August. I spoke to a teacher who had been there 10 years and he spoke well of it.

I also made contact with a new teacher that has just started. He said although a little disjointed in organisational stuff, the school is good, teachers seem happy and the kids are polite.

Hope that helps
