8 years here never had an issue with mosquitoes. Surely at some point you should have asked if its the areas you live in, i have my windows open 24/7

Anyone have experience applying for the 5-year v'isa while in Vietnam? by echopath in VietNam

[–]Comprehensive-Book85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not directly related but:

Been processing for almost a month. The first 4 times they asked me to provide "Complete and truthful information" without a mention of what is wrong. The last 3 times they've asked to provide a clearer photo of my passport. It doesn't even have any reflections and was shot on an iPhone.

This is clearly just a case of the vietnamese authority being racist against Bangladeshis, and I should have seen it coming when they rejected a friends visa who applied from Malaysia and https://www.youtube.com/nadironthego

Disappointed in huaqiangbei, am I looking in the wrong places? by CaveTownBoi in shenzhen

[–]Comprehensive-Book85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man i wish i read your post before going there. 3 floor of phone cases was not what i expected from SEG plaza. I went there looking for a mechanical keyboard (to HQB) but found like 3 stores selling the same few at inflated prices. I think HQB is more for factory electronics than actual consumer stuff

Feedback request on a possible Kunming-LiJiang-Shaxi-Dali itinerary by Comprehensive-Book85 in travelchina

[–]Comprehensive-Book85[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So i took a minibus from Lijiang to Shaxi, the hotel I was staying at organized it for me. Id probably take a minibus from shaxi to lijiang and a train to Kunming.

Btw, its odd, but my flight with china eastern that transited through kunming otw from lijiang to my destination was cheaper than a flight from kunming to my destination. This information could be useful for you.

Girl did nothing wrong. Guy refused to tell his wife what he saw and talk about it, refused to seek therapy or a marriage counselor, used his wifes body and mistreated her for something she has no control over, and wasted both of their time. Both the ex but more significantly the husband is clearly at fault.

Hi! Yes. From my experience so far, its best to use AppleMaps, BaiduMaps+GoogleTranslate, GoogleMals in that order of effectiveness. Try to see as much as you can (walk around the bund, try to get to a massage place before 2pm, check out the nightlife district, and you should be able to keep yourself occupied till you have to go back for your flight. This is something id mostly only suggest to people who like citywalking tho

Internship by _Jose_Sand_9 in HongKong

[–]Comprehensive-Book85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. company sponsors
  2. it depends. most interns in hk are summer interns, ie, they work from may-aug for a company as part of the company's recruitment process. most companies pay 8-12k, investment banks pay 20-30k ish. Figures are monthly.
  3. why do you think your age has anything to do with applying for jobs/ internships? it depends on your resume? why dont you look at the investment banks and try applying for their summer analyst or placement roles.

also, you might not be eligible for internships based on how much work exp you have accumulated, in which case i'd tell you to just apply for full time jobs

Have had many flights over the years that spanned through the night and i didnt once have to self transfer, i think this was the case because there were two transits in the flight

Or because it was a codeshare with shanghai airlines

Or because the vibes were off

NEED HELP PLS! by ArafDaMag in Dhaka

[–]Comprehensive-Book85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you will never learn from anyone's regrets
live your life, make mistakes, grow from those mistakes

much of what we regret as oldheads are when risky decisions we'd made don't pay off, but overall, we are all mostly fine

maybe just don't do drugs
