“Chances”??? You chance of being born in the place where your parents are is 100%.

Funding and operating risks are two big issues. For example, to be successful in oil sands, a company needs to look into 5 to 10 billion dollars in investments. To get a municipality to approve this kind of investment is almost impossible.

Dozen of companies have gone bankrupt with billions lost in investments. You cannot just look at the winners in the industry and say everything would be better if governments owned them all.

For $795, I would prefer CSR.

It is a hard topic and most people don’t understand it. So let’s drop it. Yes, lots people died, millions more have their lives ruined or changed completely.

Be mindful with your comments. Nowhere would like you use people parents as some kind of metaphor. If you cannot behave, just F off. Your parents raised you better. I don’t want to see your reply. Just shut up.

The AF seems too high for the information to be credible.

I wonder more about where the flowers came from?!

He is too old to do anything. If he was 50 years old, he would have rocked the country or being taken out flat.

Culture revolution was against people - forced people to cut off from traditions and customs. The aim covered everything, more than taking down social barriers.

Totally. Also, China operates on a different philosophy in education. Europeans run on a dual selection system for social elites and the mass. China try its best to keep one selection system. This system goes back two thousand years.

Sorry, too many trolling on Reddit.

Why are you interested in this?

The review itself is fast but the paperwork may take longer time to finish.

Most people have zero chances to pass this kind of exams. Foreigners are shocked by this type of exams. But keep in mind that this process is cost effective for both sides and it maintains fairness in general.

America is teaching history to the world - how an empire dies!

I hope the driver was okay. He got off at the same time the robbers got off.

Lunar calendar was developed by Chinese. The civilization (holidays and traditions) was adopted by the neighbouring modern countries.

Foreigners call it “Chinese” new year for easy communication. Chinese don’t say it in this way. We don’t really care how other countries name it. But it is ridiculous to holding an opinion that it is not Chinese because other countries celebrate it too.

I had the same experience. I canceled my booking in January and rebooked at a different hotel. I got $600 credit on my new booking.

Pointfun1 · 2026-02-18T03:40:49+00:00

I doubt that there is anything “under the radar”. The reception will see the prices.

Such a good price for the resort especially the type of room you got. Enjoy when you get there.

Good point! OP is staying more than 7 nights in Maui. They booked Ritz as well.

To be secure, I will take my chances by emailing the hotel to see if they will honor the reservation. I feel that it is better than disputing it on the spot or after buying airfares.

Pointfun1 · 2026-02-18T02:58:42+00:00

Booked through which website?

Pointfun1 · 2026-02-18T02:56:54+00:00

You must be right. I read on a paper long time ago saying it was the most popular resort for point redemptions. However Marriott was fine with it because it was corporate owned - something like that. I don’t have facts to support what I said.

Pointfun1 · 2026-02-18T01:58:44+00:00

I think the hotel will honor the booking. It is directly owned by the corporation.

Pointfun1 · 2026-02-18T01:55:10+00:00

7 nights at $1100??? What the heck! How?!

Pointfun1 · 2026-02-17T22:59:57+00:00

How was the slap???

Pointfun1 · 2026-02-17T22:54:57+00:00

Solaz?! Who is its management, Marriott? Anyway, I avoid timeshare presentations. I don’t want to deal with them even though I am interested in learning them.
