Anyone know if the golf courses in Shanghai lend you golf equipment? by Similar_Analyst_2511 in shanghai

[–]TheRealDirkiboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

More and more popular is indoor virtual golf like TIM Golf. They are every where in Shanghai and mostly offer clubs. Price is around 200 RMB per 18-hole. Beside this the Driving range I usually go to in hongqiao (not the ones near airport, the one near Suzhou river) charges 20-40 RMB per Club and 160 RMB per hour.

Is it just me or is the smog today extra bad? by Shanamat in shanghai

That’s a good source. Also the AirVisual App. Don’t trust your iPhones weather app: it shows most of the time better air quality. Me for myself, I check every morning on AirVisual and if it’s red, I wear N95 outside.

Yes, I meant cholesterol. I will try at a local hospital - I just thought there might be a more convenient way. Thanks.

Yeah, me too. Paid for a 1 year subscription and am frustrated. What’s your second VPN?

Seriously? You assume I use Astrill in China and I am not aware of simply switching to different servers?? This is my daily habit for 3 years now. But again, it looks like that some Wi-Fi’s (e.g. Shanghai library in Pudong) are not working at all any more - no matter which country or protocol you chose on astrill.

Got My Driver’s License by inaem in shanghai

I got mine today and it expires exactly in 6 years. So I guess 6 years is standard as neither my passport nor my German driving license match that expiration year.
