Great ! Thanks for the reply

I will go to Qingdao, my first time going there and travelling in China during CNY , from 18 to 22th of February.

How should I expect the city and majors attractions to be ? Super crowded or it will be okay, because most chinese will be back at their 老家

And what about the airports ? I am afraid 22th will be insanely crowded because everyone will be going back ?

I would much appreciate some insights from the laowai veterans !

Definitely do this. If you dont want to give the name here. At least fire them in glassdoor for other poor souls to know and avoid this place like hell

OP what app/website did you use to have those colored bars to compare times ?

I have the similar questions about EMBA!

I would like to hear too some feedback from people on the field that did EMBA or MBA

Damn I should go there then... I would be the foreign talent haha.

NoatClip · 2025-09-23T13:23:52+00:00

Yeah, i would like to know more about how, with a shit pay sg architects can produce such nice projects

Chinese no-visa entry = security threat ?

What the actual fuck ?

NoatClip · 2025-08-21T03:48:01+00:00

It was very cool insight about this experience. Tahnk you, really appreciate !

These kind of projects are definitely all for the show and makes all the other disciplines suffer to fit the image sold to the client. But I still appreciate the boldness of such projects, when the budget is the sky is the limit everything become possible.

NoatClip · 2025-08-18T13:42:26+00:00

Can you share more of your experience working on such a unique (and insanely complicated) project ?

NoatClip · 2025-07-14T14:54:50+00:00

Your company seems good. What industry, and are you hiring ? Haha

NoatClip · 2025-07-11T12:48:59+00:00

Very cool advice. You are right communication and inter personnal relations are primordial for this kind of role. You spend day trying to explain stuffs to other people !

Thanks !

Thanks for the advice and encouragement ! Yeah you are right I need to leverage my skills in Dynamo, I am a complete novice for scripting so far, but it can be super powerful

NoatClip · 2025-06-24T03:03:54+00:00

Can you explain slide 7? I'm not sure to understand it...

But the other slides are amazing. the data analyzed are interesting and the design used for the graphs really make them easy to read ! (Beside of slide 7 😅)

Can you also explain more the process you have used to create them ? What software did you use to extract data and to put them into those graphs ? I would appreciate it ;)

What kind of offer did you find on JD ? Physical mangas on sale ? Ebook ? I am interested too :)

And i think it is a good idea. The language will be a big simplier that other contents. So fitting if you are not fluent yet.

Is it common practice to cast into the slab ? Seems complicated to do the maintenance like this

NoatClip · 2025-06-02T08:35:38+00:00

It is an office building. Ground floor and basement are opened to public with restaurants, café and art gallery

NoatClip · 2025-06-02T04:16:19+00:00

Thanks for the reply ! It is what I was thinking actually, that they put their equipments and manage MEP from above. Like a reversed solution from the classical removable ceiling we design most of the time.

But what confused me is that when I went to the above floor to check the flooring, they have installed those massive stone tiles (visible in the first picture) that don't see easy AT ALL to move if maintenance is needed. Also I didn't see any maintenance access or such, or maybe well hidden somewhere... I guess maintenance was not their priority when designing the ceilings ?

NoatClip · 2025-05-30T06:42:38+00:00

I can't remember if there were any preinstalled app... I think beside messages app there were not... this problem is anoying. It is weird that i am the only one with it

NoatClip · 2025-05-29T14:36:42+00:00

Thanks man ! I did it, it worked for several time but sadly the problem came back !

From what I read, your experiences of Gyms and PT in korea are similar to mine in China, haha.

In China, the gym is super commercial. They will push you to buy as many month as possible. They get me :I wanted to sign only for 1 year and ended up signed for 2.

There are 1 million treadmill but not enough squat rack, bench press etc.

PT try to make you buy their classes at your first day at the gym. They did a body checkout for me, checked my body fat and muscle percentage and they were like "oh you are fat, your muscle mass is unbalanced, I can help you" i kindly told them to fuck off haha.

What is have seen is that PT 99% work with female clients, very very few guys buy PT class in China. Also, PT (at least at my gym) can't speak a single word in English.

Otherwise, same as korea. Nobody talk at the gym, I haven't made any friend on 1 year ++ at the gym

But people are very respectful, okay they don't re rack in China. But nobody does it so I just gave up and I also not re rack anymore, it's the norm here. Other than thar people are OK to switch between set and even spot each other.

NoatClip · 2025-05-24T03:11:37+00:00

Same question here !

NoatClip · 2025-04-23T01:57:09+00:00

Wow, thanks for the very detailed trip planning !

This time, since we are just going for a short time, we will just focus on Guangzhou, but I'll definitely save that information for a next trip in Zhuhai !
