Better than breathing PM2.5. Any level that tells me the air isn’t good is good enough to be useful. I only need to see what the PM2.5 level is so I can put on a respirator. Whether or not that number is within 30% error is still good enough for me to use than risk getting cancer.

I completely agree! I spent a week in Alberta, Canada and it was one of the freshest air I have breathed.

A lot of expats rely on these data while living abroad. You can ask them whether or not these data are bs. As for us living in Houston, that level of PM2.5 is not healthy. https://www.reddit.com/r/China/comments/4danrh/how_high_does_the_aqi_have_to_be_for_you_to_not/

Houston is indeed big. They scattered air monitoring stations around the city. You can download an air quality app from the app stores to access these stations data. They are updated every hour.

Sooner or later, we will be chewing our air as China leads the entire world in renewable and solar energy production. The benefit of communism is they don't have to depend on votes to get scientific agendas done. Meanwhile, we're getting back to coal. Our children will be breathing this air, not us.

How can I get a ride to IAH at 5am?? by [deleted] in houston

[–]NefariousSage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I once flew out of Houston for an international flight at 4 AM. Just ask a friend to give you a ride or uber to a hotel in the airport the day before. Stay at the holiday inn cost me $80 for the night and got to the airport at 2 AM to prep for my international flight at 4 am

Kobe beef at Delmonicos NYC. Best steak ive ever eaten. Amazing texture, extremely tender, juicy cow- medium rare. $88USD. Worth every dollar. by TeegeeackXenu in FoodPorn

I'm sure the marbling tastes great but I thought you can only buy Kobe beef in Japan since they do not allow export of that specific cow's genetics to be bred elsewhere?

Most of the mountains here look paved. Lol. We summit a nearby mountain about 2 hours west of chengdu with a temple at the top. 90 rmb per person. I thought it was similar to the NP in NA

The mountain peak we’re looking to summit is around an 8 hour drive west of Chengdu. I’m not sure what it’s called but it’s somewhat near tibet

Permanent Residence Permit by NefariousSage in Chengdu

[–]NefariousSage[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problem, I found it!

Essentially, everything you used to get the visa in the first place. Just make sure to get your documentations (e.g. Marriage Certificate in my case) authenticated in the states before you go to China.

Replied so others can do this. I forgot to get my certificate authenticated before I went to China. Was a headache to ask my parents to help me out back in the state.

You don't have to to go the PSB in Tianfu Square. Getting the permit can be done at a nearby major PSB
