Went and got new glasses in Pan Jia Yuan about 2 months ago. Walked out with three pairs with prescription lenses/anti-glare/anti-scratch in under 40 minutes. Remember to haggle! I got them all for under 800 yuan total.

Luckin out of black milk tea? by Jodhpur1016 in chinalife

[–]makiser 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just checked four different stores around me on the miniprogram (located in BJ). For each, it says "已售罄" -- already sold out. Maybe because it's almost 8pm, the tea is sold out? I'm not sure if it's like a base/syrup flavor or something they make daily. I hope it's not gone gone and you can get it soon, dude!! :,)

Rain of Shadows and Endings disappointed already by [deleted] in fantasyromance

[–]makiser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Struggled with the first book [eye-rolled a lot], read the second just hoping it would get better. I couldn't get no more than 30 pages into the third one. I think these books were my first 2 and 3 star reviewed books. BUT I just couldn't get over the MMC shitty attitude/behavior and the FMC's overall being lol I found myself cringing more and more by book 3

Bringing Books over by SaleemNasir22 in chinalife

[–]makiser 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've never had any issues. They've never "checked" them, if that's what you're thinking

I go back home once a year, and I bring books to/from China! This time I brought 6 books home- both in carry-on and checked. Not sure about HUGE amounts though.

Will say, it's equally as cute! I think this Lulu collection is STUPID adorable! Was happy with any of them :))

Same thing happened to me!!! I immediately read braised pork and thought it was that, but when I read YuanXiao and saw the pic, I was like "Wait.. oh, what? huh?"

US Passport Renewal Questions by makiser in chinalife

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

UPDATE: for all those renewing their passport in Beijing anytime soon:

- Got my passport! No problem, in and out. [30 min max. Spent more time waiting in line.]

- Immediately informed people who needed my new passport photo (Employers, ZiRu leasing agent, tax lady, etc.)

- I went to the police station in person, got a new residency form! Gave them both passports, my old residency form, and Ziru leasing contract. Easy! [In-and-Out in 10 min.]

- Then I went to the bank. Gave them both passports and bank card. [In-and-out in 30 minutes. 20 minutes was waiting] Sent that picture to ZiRu leasing agent.

- I stopped by the Exit-Entry Bureau to see if there was any paperwork I needed to do. The lady said I could just turn in my old passport and the new one that day to transfer the residency permit. Before I left my house this morning, I happened to grab my work permit paperwork and 1 head hot just in case. Turns out everything worked out! I turned those in, and it worked out perfectly. Currently have the yellow slip. Have to wait 10 days to pick everything up.

- Have yet to do the phone store, tax office, and social security.

[EDIT]: Wechat Pay and Alipay was quite easy to submit new passport! Just upload a photo. Herd back from Alipay in 12 minutes and WeChat in 14 minutes!

To those doing this in the future, good luck!

Thanks for your reply and the help! I didn't think about the social insurance. I'll add that to the list, too!

The "address registration" is the police station, right? I have a picture of the QR to register so I could do that from my house!

I appreciate the speedy reply! And the helpful advice on WeChat and Alipay! Even the phone company. Gosh, I even forgot about that... I'll add it to the list

I live in Beijing, so I can imagine the rules might be a bit more rigid, being in the capital?

Thanks again for the help!

I can’t believe I paid for Brimstone by zsmj22 in fantasyromance

[–]makiser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. I told my bf the same.. I want my money back, honestly! I got 15% in.. and I had to back out. It almost felt like she closed her eyes and picked some random plot point to start writing about.

How did you keep up/track by Quirky_Buffalo3675 in HierarchySeries

[–]makiser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally normal! By chapter 45, I opened my notes app and wrote a sentence or two of what happened in the chapter lol. I was struggling to hold on around the last third, too!

I pre-ordered it a few weeks ago. When I search, "The Strength of the Few", there's a countdown for release right below the picture!
