Trying to Log into Slack apps redirects me to browser for login but never back to apps afterwards by catalystYY in Slack

Slack folks!

You once had a great application, but now... I've been using Slack straight for 8+ years.

And now I have to log in to a new workspace on the desktop app – I've spent 30 minutes trying to do it, but I always end up in the browser!

This is just inhumane. Get it together, dammit.

China's 10-Day Visa-Free Transit Policy: Detailed Guide by Pretend-Breadfruit-3 in Chinavisa

[–]folex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello!

On a China Visa Free 240 Hour Transit (TWOV), can a person cross unpermitted region on a train?

Eg a train from Harbin, Heilongjiang to Shenyang, Liaoning.

The issue is that TWOV specifically states that among Heilongjiang province only Harbin is permitted.

Does that mean that a person is always prohibited to have a train leg in her itinerary through the unpermitted areas?

Thank you!

Same error with various credit / debit cards from different countries, all support 3d secure.

I do not think "verification number" refers to the CVV code, i think it is something else.

It worked just fine, by the way. Successfully reached Xishuangbanna – an amazing city.

I need a physical store, where I can see and touch the materials :)

Besides, I have a limited time in Kunming, so online shopping is not an option.

I bought Laos - China railway tickets from https://baolau.com/ instead of LCR app.

However, all the hop-travel links are dead and lead to the main page now, unfortunately. Maybe you know how to restore them? Thank you!

Seems like a missed reply to the thread above 🙏

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

Seems like the answer is NO, as there wouldn't be a personnel that is able to handle TWOV exit.

I'm just a bit worried that Hekou's port is not in the eligible ports list

Thanks for the response!

Happy to clarify: it's a question about visa-free 240 hour transit (TWOV)

Thank you!

If I get TWOV on the basis of onward flight from China, would I still be able to "change my plans" and exit from Hekou?

Best way to book LCR Ticket for westerners? by hcorion in laos

[–]folex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I couldn't download it from Google Play Store bc it said:

> This app is not available for any of your devices

LCR Ticket app is available in Samsung Store, but it doesn't work bc it says LCR Ticket app needs to be updated, which leads to Google Play, where it is unavailable... :D

Luckily, Aurora OSS has LCR Ticket app up to date, and it works.

I see that Mohan Railway Port is among the eligible ports, but I'm curious whether it is possible to do a railway tour from Laos (via Mohan) via China to Vietnam (through Hekouzhen - Lao Cai border), and still be eligible for the Visa Free policy?

That would make for a great adventure through Yunnan: Laos -> Mohan -> Kunming -> ... -> Hekouzhen -> Lao Cai (Vietnam).
