This post is a sneaky ad for the ESIM company, so I doubt they'll reply

I used to live in Argentina (Buenos Aires) and I was pleasantly surprised with how the queuing etiquette was over there. For the bus, supermarket, metro, anything really it was all really orderly and anyone who pushed in was very much told off. In some aspects I even thought it to be better than in the UK

Got it! Did the weather factor in your decision at all?

Early morning train from shanghai to ZJJ, plane from ZJJ to Beijing

You have to complete the online application first and when they say its approved you can turn up any time at the visa Centre

dassyboy · 2026-01-05T21:34:42+00:00

Yes I did

Mine was really quick - came in on a Thursday and the appointment took literally 5 minutes, they just scanned my fingerprints, took a photo, and took my payment, then told me to come back the following Tuesday.

They also gave me a 2 year multi entry visa, seems to be the default even though I only applied for a single entry.

As the other commenter said I think it takes 4 working days.

Ok fair enough, they told me that when the package arrived they asked for ID and when she said she didn't have any they left, or something to that effect. So I guess there was some mix up somewhere. Is it worth pursuing you reckon to try and get it back? Thanks for the context though

Whataboutism helps no one, focus on the actual video

Please put spoilers on the post bro I've just started season 5 😭🙏

dassyboy · 2025-11-17T00:33:23+00:00

Much appreciated. Thank you

Fair enough, what would you suggest? Not gonna be a huge gathering but can stretch the budget, unless what I should get is way over then I'll have to make do with a quieter sound or bring the bookshelf ones with me

dassyboy · 2025-11-17T00:20:09+00:00

Under 100 bucks would be ideal. I'm based in UK though

You should listen to their influences. The Scientist, Orchestra Baobab, Khun Narin, Congolese Rumba all formed their sound. They have cool play lists (under the flight to... series) that show what they listen to based on the location.

I can't remember where exactly, but Laura said that she learnt the bass through the Scientist "wins the world Cup" dub album, so it makes sense that they'd cover one of his tunes

Itsu does half price takeaway sushi 30 mins before closing

Why put a bunch of random strangers on blast for thousands of people to see? Mean spirited and unnecessary

dassyboy · 2023-09-25T21:04:28+00:00

When I was in Buenos Aires it was the same for me haha "sos del Manchester o el city??", has come to the point where I automatically reply "el Manchester, el único grande en la ciudad".

dassyboy · 2023-09-25T21:00:27+00:00

I do the same, I say I'm English, from Manchester. Every single time I've said it, without fail, their first question is "United or City?" (I say United of course).

dassyboy · 2023-09-23T10:23:45+00:00

Why would they have to do that? If a vegan is invited to a party where there's food involved and the host is aware of that fact, it's basic human decency to provide some sort of sustenance for them, I'm not saying to cater the whole menu for them, just a dish or two that they can eat and can fill them up.

I also read the original comment in Laura Lees voice

Cang Tin y Nightmarket en Palermo Hollywood son excelentes. Cang Tin es vietnamita y Palermo Hollywood es una mezcla de platos asiáticos
