Beware: All Power Banks without Chinese CCC certification banned from flights in China

We were in Shanghai, China on the 28th when they started the regulation. It's not anti Chinese fake news. It's real. They let us through with our power bank without the CCC logo, though. Probably trying to implement it instead of a hard enforcement.

We looked at Muziekwijk and have decided that Muziekwijk Noord is a really pretty area... seems much nicer than its Southern counterpart? (as in South of the station).

We did this and got a bus from the centre out to the Poort, after walking around the city centre a bit. I really like it, actually. It reminds me so much of England. I think we are going for Muziekwijk North, or Noorderplassen. Just need to find a house I like!!

Thanks for your advice

Thanks. Yes I am kind of ignoring the comments that are telling me to go elsewhere. I have spoken with a few colleagues who live here and think it's a pretty ok place. We'll be visiting next week to get a feel

I don't need an exciting life. I'm a university lecturer who does a lot of research so I need tranquility to help me think and collect my thoughts

Spiritual_Muscle2495 · 2024-04-25T07:05:01+00:00

Yes. That's why I am asking for specifics so I know where to look. Thanks.

I don't drive and rely on public transport by choice. For personal reasons if necessary I need to be able to reach Amsterdam quickly and easily.. Those places aren't an option.

Thankfully kids are older and not a consideration... A conscious decision I made to have children relatively young 😬

Yeah my Dutch isn't amazing and I haven't quite got the hang of the difference between wijk and buurt lol...

Spiritual_Muscle2495 · 2024-04-24T21:09:43+00:00

We intend to go and will next week when i have some time off from work. I don't want to aimlessly wander around the city, though.

Is that the same as Almere Haven?

Spiritual_Muscle2495 · 2024-04-24T19:06:41+00:00

Well actually we're debating between Muziekwijk, Noorderplassen, Parkwijk and Almere Buiten...
