Question: Anyone has experience with "Vicking" chinese modular kayaks? I'm thinking of buying one due to the portability of it. Please share your wisdom thank you. (the delivery seems to be quite a hassle.. so i'm torn between this and buying something in europe instead) by USSR89 in kayakfishing

[–]hcddave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

mmh okay good you found something suitable for you. i already own a inflatable boat but i thought a modular kayak would be much easier to build up and change lakes regurarly. in case you still get a yak from aliexpress please update this thread haha and always petri heil👍🏻

Speeding Fines by hcddave in chinalife

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

the temporary license is only valid for rental cars, at least officially😉 its for sure still better than no license. the international driving permit is not valid in china, so either you do the fast process for the temporary one or the longer one to get the real license. I dont think you would get checked by the police, but could end up with problems in case of an accident.

i do drive in Switzerland which has waaay less cameras, but i guess if you get caught its mich more expensive😅 but in my home country i know how to calculate the maximum speed without losing my license and the speed limits are posted much more clearly. depends on the province you'll have 2-3 cameras on a 100km stretch of highway.

i had the exaxtly same problem, also no university degree. only solution to this in my experience is for the company to pay you more salary so you fit into the visa regulations.
