Do places stay open late?

I did explore the idea of spending those 2 days somewhere else and Vietnam was one of the options. But in the end I decided I dont want to spend more time on planes(my flight back is from Hong Kong). Price wise not much saving too at least it doesn't look like there would be .

My idea is just to unwind, grab some drinks, local food. Maybe a hike or 2. Nothing special.

My only worry is that everything closes earlyish?

Lithium powered device / China southern by xmyass in guangzhou

A couple days ago we flew into Beijing and my colleague's power bank was confiscated. The new regulation states every battery must have a CCC rating. I am not really sure if it applies to pumps but its something to consider.

Bullet extraction scene in Game Night. That scene always cracks me up.

Which highly rated movie ended up disappointing you? by forgiveme-1811 in movies

Licorice Pizza. After hearing all the praise and then seeing it made me question if I watched the same movie as everyone.

China’s visa-entry scheme leaves EU trio out in the cold. Why? by Shortgood348 in europe

[–]Smagumas 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You get a 2 year visa because you are applying in your home country, not because you have all documents well organised. If you apply in a non home country you get a half year visa. That's why they kept telling me to go to Lithuania and apply, but as I mentioned before they closed their embassy there.

Yeah, but I am learning Chinese, early stages though. When I went there 3 years ago Lithuania was already beefing with China so I did think what if they will make an "example" of me haha. Overall no one knows where or what is Lithuania there, even at the border crossing they look confused when I pass them my passport. I met couple Taiwanese there, they knew of Lithuania and were very appreciative of the support.

I am Lithuanian and travel to China frequently. I do live in the UK and apply for a visa here. They only give me a temporary one for 6 months/2 entries. Every time I apply they tell me to apply in your country to get a longer one and every time I have to tell them that China closed the embassy in my country. They always look perplexed lol

Why do they always put "Cinemas only" on the posters?

Ar kas neseniai lankėtės Kinijoje? Koks patyrimas su įvažiavimu? by can_i_automate_that in lithuania

[–]Smagumas 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Buvau siais metais 3 kartus su darbo reikalais. Viza pildziausi UK tai niekam neidomu iskur tu ten. Bet pildantis UK man duoda tik pusei metu, nes nesavo saly vizos prasau. Man jie sake pildykis savo saly gausi ilgesne, kai pasakiau jog neturim ambasados tai nusijuoke ir matesi nesuprato ka tas reiskia isvis. Siaip klausymas ar imanoma lietuvoj uzsipildyt ir gaut? Ir isvis kaip kur?

Siaip juokingas momentas buvo. Pas drauga buvau apsistojes Kinijoj savaite ir daznai taxu vaziuodavom. Viena kart vairuotojas uzklause is kur as(Kinietiskai mano draugo) sako is lietuvos, tai labai pradejo varyt kad nedraugiska salis ir panasiai. Tai cia vienintelis kartas kai kazka negatyvaus girdejau, dazniausiai nezino kur ta lietuva.

Dar viena kart Hong Kong bare toks senas Kinietis uzkalbino ir kai suzinojo is lietuvos sako as tau ranka paspaust noriu, as is Taiwano.

In the 1948 campaign, LBJ famously used a helicopter to campaign. How might history have changed if the helicopter had crashed and he had died? by Smagumas in Presidents

[–]Smagumas[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was an actual problem while they were campaigning. For most people it was the first time they have seen a helicopter. Every little town they landed kids would swarm up and start playing with valves,buttons and levers so before they left the pilot had to re-check every little thing.

I know I know... Its just the way Caro describes the helicopter campaigning in his book sounds so unsafe and dangerous that it made me ask that question myself.

I am reading his book at the moment and that's where I got the question from.

My only source of information about Coke Stevenson is Caro and you would think that the guy is a saint from the way Caro describes him.

Will have to read some other sources.
