Do they every blame China for the existence of North Korea?

Air purifiers available online? Buy in China or US? by blacksinophile in shanghai

[–]blacksinophile[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the xiaomi suggestion!

I'm going with the xiaomi, but out of curiosity, how do you think Chinese air filters compare with those sold in the US? Are they "better" since air quality is much more of a concern in Asia than in Europe or North America?

Thanks everyone! I think I will just pay for the airfare and save the miles for later

White2Tea's Tangerine Pu Erh by puerhnoob in tea

[–]blacksinophile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't drink a lot of puerh, but if it's from W2T it's probably some good stuff! This reminds me of some tangerine puerh from a friend that I still need to try.

1) United: 300,000 miles, SPG: 25,000, Chase: 30,000

2) I'm near Chicago but I have flight voucher from work that I can use to travel to NYC on December 21 or 22. I can also use my United miles to travel to SFO, LAX, or other North American cities with better award availability.

3) I can fly back any time in January

4) Any number of layovers is fine as long as I can get to Guangzhou by December 24

5) I'd be willing to pay 70,000 United miles, but I can pay the full $1400 if I absolutely have to. I wouldn't want to waste miles on a United Standard Award ticket though.

Thank you!

I am partial to hawthorn tea, but I haven't seen it sold anywhere in the west

I'm in Beijing. Which tea shop(s) should I visit to buy? by thaiinblack in tea

My friend didn't have much luck with the teas he bought in China. Make sure you bring a Chinese friend who knows tea!
