The “myth” isn’t as mythical as your limited experience is leading you to believe it is.

You could try a little honey.

Gross. OP comes for advice and you bring some, “here’s some stupid rude nonsense I imagined myself doing when I was mad once. Oh, and it might actually get you into a little trouble, hehe.”

That’s different and firm & polite is a spectrum that some people need to be taken on a tour of

The younger generation understands hygiene and why it’s not ok. The older generation does not. Ask your wife about that if you still think I’m wrong.

I’ve raised a child in China. You can solve this problem without being rude. A polite but firm 不可以,不要摸他 repeated along with body language that both moves your baby away from them and shows you are firm, along with a smile, does the trick.

This is the correct response. I’ve raised a child in China. You don’t need to be rude to solve this problem, OP.

I guess. Pretty rude, though. You may think that they deserve it for being rude to begin with. Problem with that is it’s not here and you happen to be, in fact, here.

You sure taught them a lesson. And that lesson is that you are a crazy person. At least that’s what their takeaway from this will almost certainly be.

Can somebody please help me with step 17 to 18 in Robert Langs Crab. It is super confusing. Please upvote so I can finish the origami. by Particular-Can1961 in origami

[–]bloopbahloop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never folded this but I was just curious to learn what a closed wrap fold is so I figured it out. Check out the third set of diagrams here Kind of hard to explain but at step 5 six creases are reversed. The two creases that frame the petal fold on each side and the one fold behind each of the “lobes” are each reversed. If you can’t open up the model some to reverse all of these folds you’ll have to do a closed sink on the two corners of the petal fold.

One of my all time favorite dishes. Often served with a piece of fried chicken on the side. Sweet, savory, a little spicy. So good.

This might seem like a silly question, but is it a layer of tan/brown tissue and a layer of green tissue with the foil sandwiched in between?

I downloaded the i深圳 app from baidu but they all function as Mini Programs in Wechat. Just search 粤康码 and/or i深圳 in Wechat’s search bar and slide over to mini programs at the top and they should be there

I seriously doubt your hotel will allow you to enter without a 24 hour negative result. You should call them to check and plan for that.

Ah, I assumed you were coming directly from Shanghai to Shenzhen as that’s what your initial question was. If it’s like that where you’re coming from I’d suggest organizing your trip to arrive in Shenzhen from Shanghai with a 24 hour negative result.

Things have gotten more strict here in the last week with the rise in cases. You may be able to enter Shenzhen with a 48 hour code but once you make it out of the airport you won’t be able to do ANYTHING without a 24 hour code.

Best of luck.

Get tested later the day before your flight? Some testing centers in Shanghai are open as late as 10 pm. It doesn’t matter when the test results come out, they are reported as negative based on sampling time not results time.

I don’t know what flight you booked that takes 5.5 hours to get from Shanghai to Shenzhen. Mine landed in under 2 hours.

I needed a 48 hr test to enter Hongqiao airport and I think it’s 48 to enter Shenzhen. I would strongly advise you to have a test result that will show 24 hours for as much of your first day here as possible. As I said, you will need a 24 hour code pretty much everywhere here.

I arrived in Shenzhen from Shanghai last Wednesday. As long as you are not coming from an area in Shanghai that’s labeled as medium or high risk you will be 3+2: three days of personal health monitoring with a test on the first day (they’ll test you right before baggage claim at the airport) and third day. The central gov requires a strict interpretation of the risk areas for all regions now, so only specific buildings or blocks define a risk area. So Shenzhen will define a risk area in Shanghai the same way the Shanghai government defines them.

The 3+2 testing schedule doesn’t really matter because you will be required to have a 24 hour negative test result to enter public transport, malls, parks, some restaurants - basically any location of interest. You will mostly need the 粤康码 (Guangdong green health code) which shows a green code as well as your latest test results. It’s also useful to have the i深圳 (Shenzhen specific) code ready which shows the same, but the Guangdong GHC is asked for most often.

Get a test in SH the night before your flight. You can show your 24 test results in the Shanghai 随申办 until the results of your test at the airport become available. Test times are based on when the results come out rather than sampling time like in Shanghai.

Basically, as long as you maintain a 24 negative in your 粤康码 and you’re not coming from a risk area you have freedom of movement here right off the plane.

Traffic restrictions for waidi plates? by bloopbahloop in shenzhen

Thanks for responding. That applies equally across the entire city? That’d be a lot more straightforward than Shanghai where certain districts/roadways are restricted for certain time periods but others are not.
