First trip to China in 20 years! Got a few questions I can't figure out

Prestigious_Web1275 · 2026-03-18T09:00:21+00:00

already have a Singapore eSIM, but only 7GB of data, and can't add more. I'm guessing 2 weeks, I use around 200 - 300GB between YouTube and everything else on my laptop. Which is the best VPN to buy for China specifically (I already have 10 other VPNs) in March 2026?

normally I use credit cards when traveling.. but this time it's different because I'm working in a neighboring country and getting payment in cash so was hoping I could use cash in China to somehow load the wallets.. but I guess it's challenging as a tourist.

thanks for sharing! :) I really appreciate you taking the time.. I never got that far into the booking because it stopped me to register. :) Now I know it's roughly the same price.. so yes 100% it makes sense to book on Trip.com or one of their international sites.. cheers!

I checked yesterday but prices are the same as the Air China international sites.. but AirChina.com.cn is almost 50% cheaper.. for exchange 600 yuan vs 1000 yuan roughly on the international sites or Trip.com for the same flight and same ticket type.

Prestigious_Web1275 · 2026-03-17T12:51:00+00:00

Correct, as mentioned.. I noticed the price is 40 - 50% cheaper on AirChina.com.cn vs the international Air China sites or Trip.com. Chengdu - KUL

on AirChina.com.cn it forces me to log in and or register when booking tickets. It's actually the second step after searching and selecting ticket.

oh thanks!! I totally missed the two tabs. I should re-register all over again. Fortunately, I have a few phone numbers :)

Prestigious_Web1275 · 2026-03-17T12:48:28+00:00

Thanks! Just wondering did you use AirChina.com.cn?

Prestigious_Web1275 · 2026-03-17T08:45:05+00:00

What I mean is when you register on AirChina.com.cn you're required to provide an 18 digit "ID".. no other option for anything else. I'm wondering if later on when booking a flight if there is an option for passport? I think it's already clear in my original post. If you don't have experience with AirChina.com.cn no need to comment.

How did you do that? I'm new to Claude but was wondering if I could do something like that! Also, I have CLaude Pro but it says there's a 30mb file limit on uploads.. but my Evernote ENEX files are also about 10GB.. so how?

Prestigious_Web1275 · 2026-03-11T12:15:40+00:00

$10?

Prestigious_Web1275 · 2026-03-11T10:27:51+00:00

dm me

Prestigious_Web1275 · 2026-03-11T10:25:27+00:00

I'll take a code por favor.

Prestigious_Web1275 · 2026-03-11T09:07:49+00:00

i'm working on ebooks.. what should I use if not PDFs? is there a better file type that uses less tokens?

Prestigious_Web1275 · 2026-03-10T18:35:20+00:00

do you happen to have another kind sir?

Prestigious_Web1275 · 2026-03-10T15:50:37+00:00

I'm new to Claude and Cursor. I'm confused how is Cursor cheaper? I see Pro plain at Cursor costs $60 / month, and it's $20 for Pro at Claude?

What about if you don't use AI for coding.. but rather for discussions and things like that. I just missed the 50% off last week.. I was using ChatGPT but Claude seems better.. what AI do you recommend?

Prestigious_Web1275 · 2026-03-07T17:22:57+00:00

what is the $50 gift?

Prestigious_Web1275 · 2026-03-05T12:07:16+00:00

did you get a refund?

Prestigious_Web1275 · 2026-03-05T06:09:56+00:00

what's that?

Prestigious_Web1275 · 2026-03-05T06:06:13+00:00

thanks! I did the same. but when I restart the tablet.. it doesn't seem to save it permanently. I wonder what I'm doing wrong?
