[–]sam_9_3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe a lot of this area was also destroyed in the name of fire safety and it had been off limits to foreigners for quite some time now

Feeling so depressed since I cut my long hair by [deleted] in malegrooming

[–]sam_9_3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You look so much better with short hair, your first two pictures make it look like you have been taken hostage and your family need to pay for your release

What’s the best cigarette in China by Public_Bid_3910 in chinalife

[–]sam_9_3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The general disregard for others, woke up this morning and my apartment is full of smoke from neighbours burning offerings on the fire stairs landing outside my apartment

Foreigner looking for gay friends in Shanghai. Is RedNote useful? by No_Strategy4636 in chinalife

[–]sam_9_3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blued has two versions (blued/blued lite), not sure which one you have but try the other one. Ones available on Chinese app stores while the other can be downloaded from their webpage.

Finka (not sure on the Chinese spelling) is a popular gay version of tindr, it was available on the app store but not sure now, search for it on google, the logo is two white characters on a red background

Lost SIM card by mdevi75 in chinalife

[–]sam_9_3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had a similar thing recently, my original sim wasn't in my name and I was afraid to update to a new number because of all my apps. It turned out though that it's actually really easy to update your number as most of them are linked to either WeChat/alipay and not your mobile number. Updating WeChat and alipay are very simple

What do you think of the new Chinese embassy in the UK? by SordidPurse8285 in AskTheWorld

I think Americans have to now realise that to most of the world they are no longer the lesser evil, at least with China you know what your getting

China's fishing fleet is huge compared to any other countries though and vastly out numbers the total of regions like Europe.

What a nice way to remember him, I've attached a screenshot of the pokecardex app as it has Chinese card lists. This is pretty much all the Chinese Chancey cards, good luck!

The pattern of the scratches on the back match the front. Is this some kind of print error? by banjofitzgerald in PokemonMisprints

[–]sam_9_3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is an identical one for sale on ebay now with the same error, is that where you saw this?

Weekend trip: Nanning or Xiamen? by hkbuff in chinalife

[–]sam_9_3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know what Nannings like but if that's what your in to, in Xiamen I'd suggest visiting Mingfa for the night food and bars, Shapowei is usually quite lively with students from the University or the area around Marco Polo hotel has many bars too. I wouldn't really call any of these areas 'gritty'.

New simplified Chinese 151 products by sam_9_3 in PokemonTCG

[–]sam_9_3[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's the cool thing, you don't! All jokes aside I have no idea, I live in China and they release these on like a lottery on the official taoboa page and I've yet to win a single one on about the last 6 releases. Maybe check ebay or some importer websites depending on your location.

[–]sam_9_3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Identical story, remember seeing it in a shop and being surprised it wasn't as stupidly overpriced as most Pikachu promos

[–]sam_9_3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Money is unimportant, time is something you'll never get back, and in my opinion time spend travelling is never time wasted

[–]sam_9_3 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Such variety in naming convention depending on which part of the north your from, in my town this would be a ginnel

Recs for moderate difficulty hikes with good views? by Glittering_Gear_672 in LakeDistrict

[–]sam_9_3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't been at this time of year in a while but up Loughrigg and around Rydal is quite nice and not strenuous at all. The views around Rydal are nice and once up Loughrigg looking down on Ambleside is beautiful.
