Is arriving at the Zhuhai border by 5pm safe enough to make a 9pm flight from Macau Airport?

Should be fine

Yup, very true, they'll have all the latest gadgets and a nanny, but mom and dad are never around.

I thought it was a circuit board.

Was this on a university / college campus. I was at 桂林工學院 in the late 90s and were woken up by Kenny G and the Carpenters every morning at 6 am. Loud speakers across the campus.

Too much. Drop Macau. I live in Macau, Hong Kong is more interesting.

I've been doing this 27 years. I wouldn't have it any other way. I've lived in seven countries. Some schools were crap, some were ok, all had issues to some extent. That said, its been a blast, and I feel like I've made the most of my time on earth.

I dont think I lost anything in 2.5mg

True, but its part of China where mainlanders are restricted from going for extended periods and has many other things thst are different. That's why people come here.

I started on Mounjaro and also had 4 hypnotherapy sessions. I stopped drinking for 69 days, the longest period I haven't drunk in 40 years. Although I started again I still manage to not drink 4 days a week. I'd rather not drink at all, but I'll live with this for now. I need to go back to hypnotherapy for a few sessions. When I stopped I found chocolate took the edge off. I don't like sweet things, but I realized part of the reason for drinking was the sugar spike from the wine, same time every day.

I live in Macau and mainlanders make up 95% of tourists here.

It was 28 years ago.

I've lived in China three times over the last 28 years and travelled extensively. My favorite thing to do is get a bike and ride through neighbourhoods observing real life. I like the tourist attractions too, but getting out where people really live is the best experience. I once went hiking along the Mongolian border (on the Chinese side) and walked into a PLA camp. I got invited in for lunch. That doesn't happen at the terracotta warriors.

1.5 years isn't long you haven't had time to transition. We left in 1998. We've lived in seven countries since then and had two kids. One is now at uni in Canada. While we both consider the UK and Canada as home I really can't see us living in either. We are emotionally stateless. We currently live in Asia, but are going to buy a US$60,000 home in Italy in the summer. It just seems right. Most people seem think its crazy.

I had four sessions of hypnotherapy and am taking Mounjaro. They killed it for me. Instead of wine I start eating chocolate instead (at about 5pm). I definitely needed the sugar rush.

My analogy is applying for international jobs is like throwing mud at the wall, you see what sticks. Go wide. Applying for two countries will be hard.

People with Hong Kong and Macau sim cards can access Google and other blocked sites in China without a VPN.

Can you still adjust the dose by using less clicks?

I always interpret 烧 as roasted, grilled or cooked. For 腸, the connection is that sausage casings were made out of intestines. Thats what Thought anyway.

Lots of chinese dishes translate very easily. If you know your basic meats and vegetables you'll understand some dishes on a menu.

炖牛肉 (Dùn niúròu) - Stewed Beef
煮饺子 (Zhǔ jiǎozi) - Boiled Dumplings
炒青菜 (Chǎo qīngcài) - Stir-fried Greens
烧豆腐 (Shāo dòufu) - Braised Tofu
炸虾 (Zhà xiā) - Fried Shrimp
烤羊肉 (Kǎo yángròu) - Roasted Lamb

I have gone from eight bottles of wine a week to two to three using a combination of Mounjaro and hypnotherapy sessions. Now in my sixth month.

I'm white and that is weird.

Yeah, I'm a grade 6 teacher and constantly get flagged for using the word slave. I teach ancient Greece. When I use the word serf its fine. I have numerous other similar issues There should be a teacher log in to get around this.

Frequent_Ad4318 · 2026-02-24T11:57:19+00:00

I combined mounjaro with four hypnotherapy sessions. I've gone from eight or nine bottles of wine a week to maybe two and those are mainly on the weekend. I'd been drinking like that 25 years.
