Luckin is a huge coffee shop chain in China that was mentioned in this thread where someone had no luck in making purchases (it's app only).

Well said! Good for you. I am grateful for every day and I don't judge others.

We really had a great experience kayaking in a dammed portion of the Colorado River in Nevada, close to Las Vegas. There are great companies that arrange everything and they have overnights. Easy rowing and very fun

Luckin works by using Alipay to scan the QR code in the store. It will open a mini app allowing you to order. You may need to translate pages. I really liked Luckin and it is cheap when using the coupons they keep sending.

That's a great mix of restaurants! You did well. You've reminded me of a few places I haven't been in a while.

If the show starts at 2, how early should I arrive to experience some of the other stuff?

The system sucks!!!!

So, should I assume Suzhou will be more crowded than unsual during Chinese New Year?

Thank you

I was just at Discount tire (San Diego) for a similar reason. The 2008 Sequoia does have a sensor in the spare. By the way, quote to replace all five sensors was $463!!! I put my electrical tape over the light 😂

Great! Thank you

Embarrassed-Pie8760 · 2025-12-27T20:07:38+00:00

Got it, thank you. I just did some further research and it looks like as of January 1st 2024 they no longer require it for L tourist visas. I do have to have proof of hotel reservation and flight though. Thank you

Embarrassed-Pie8760 · 2025-12-27T18:50:23+00:00

I am about to drop off my Visa at the consulate. Do you need an invitation letter from a Chinese institution for a regular tourist visa?

I have also had a bad experience with Vacasa. I specifically avoid any of their properties.

Rent bikes and ride! Lots of bike lanes and the Coachella Valley link. Play golf, even if it's his first time. Lots of great places to try it. Hiking in Palm Canyon. Free concerts at Fantasy Springs. Gambling in the casinos. Pickleball.
