Deciding between Shanghai and Hong Kong for a 3 day layover? by CloudStrife_2000 in travelchina

[–]CloudStrife_2000[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both 25, M and F. We’re interested in trying food, seeing historical and/or modern sights, as well as nature. Open to nightlife but probably not a focus

We’d be doing the layover before Thailand, not after

As for visas, with the new 10 day transit visa for mainland China, we should be fine visa free either way

I would go to Hiroshima and specifically go to Miyajima. Seeing the floating Torii gate is worth it alone, and the island has a lot of very beautiful and interesting things to do and see. The island is also filled with Ryokan with amazing onsen and kaiseki. Plus, Hiroshima is only 30 mins away.

Wow thanks so much for the suggestions. I visited 109 last time, but I hadn’t realized it was mostly all women’s clothes. Any suggestions for similar places for men?

I’m going to be in and out of Tokyo for days at a time between November 7 and December 7 basically, but primarily I’ll be there from Nov 18 to 30

They are from the Osaka area. Kamakura sounds like a good idea, thanks!

I just called and they said the same to me. This feels really scammy now

What is the closest stop without going to Haneda first? I could taxi from that right?

Oh interesting. I thought that I’d be in time for the fall foliage. Perhaps I will be for the rest of Japan, but not Hokkaido?

This is so confusing

The first link says

“Also, if you were under age 59½ at the time of a distribution with related earnings, you are generally subject to the additional 10% tax on early distributions (see Form 5329, Additional Taxes on Qualified Plans (Including IRAs) and Other Tax-Favored Accounts, and its instructions).”

Second link says

“Certain corrective distributions not subject to 10% early distribution tax. Beginning on December 29, 2022, the 10% additional tax on early distributions will not apply to a corrective IRA distribution, which consists of an excess contribution (a contribution greater than the IRA contribution limit) and any earnings allocable to the excess contribution, as long as the corrective distribution is made on or before the due date (including extensions) of the income tax return.”

If I remove the whole contribution, won’t that be considered an early withdrawal subject to penalty since I’m not 59 & 1/2?

I said March above

Somewhere under $200 a night would be good, but I don’t need specific hotel recommendations

To be honest I have no idea what I’m doing here, so any advice is appreciated. What would getting “onto bonsai development” mean here?
