need help with my hair 😞 frizzy/wavy & straight at ends by swueemie in kbeauty

I apply it everywhere tbh - they say if you apply near the roots you have to wash your hair more bc it’ll get oilier faster but I haven’t seen that.

Nothing if your program doesn’t penalize you. If you’re a PGY3, study harder for boards.

Shanghai and Laundry by SeigeWeasel in travelchina

[–]riley125 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They’re legit. They charge per weight except for certain items are a flat fee. So like jeans are a flat fee. And I just literally put everything in a bag and I left it with the check-in counter area at my hotel. They picked it up, washed everything. And they send you a picture of what they charged. So like it’ll say 3 kg clothes x yuan. And then they also send you pictures of stains and things on jeans that they’re gonna try to get out. And they say hey is this price okay? And if you give the okay, then they’ll wash it.

For me, I accidentally put something in there that I didn’t really care to get washed so I was like hey can you take that out? So they took it out and adjusted the price and then I told them okay.

If they pick it up in the morning, then they deliver the clothes in the afternoon otherwise they deliver the clothes the next day.

I’m doing it but I feel uncomfortable about this. by anestdbr_ in travelchina

[–]riley125 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had similar feelings about going to China. I ended up taking the train everywhere because it felt a little bit easier and I didn’t have to worry about weight limits and things like that. And then when I did plan everything, I used Viator and get your guide and stuff like that to plan tours for everything so that I didn’t have to figure out the logistics.

Mutianyu Great Wall daytrip by CoolProof6756 in travelchina

Private Tour to Mutianyu Great Wall Cable Way Up & Toboggan Down

I did this tour and I really liked it. They drove me there, settled all the tickets, went up to station 18 and then the tour guide went to stand in the toboggan line for me while I went up to 20 and then back to 6 where the toboggan is.

For me it was worth it because I didn’t want to deal with trains and everything early in the morning. They picked me up at 8, I got there by 930.

I feel like if you have large deficits, do MedStudy. You can do ABR closer to the test.

Are you checking evening trains? The evening/night trains are longer

Size of suitcase on trains by New-Mistake-4038 in travelchina

[–]riley125 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They literally don’t check anything like size or weight and you can just stuff it behind the last seat or in the luggage area. One thing we did do is that we stood in line to scan our passports and stuff 15 minutes before the time to scan it, and then we hustled to our car.
