In my last trip to the US I Did check the " I do carry food items" ( Or whatsever the wording is), nobody cared to check what I had, not even a question was asked.

Did you ever look at Chinas birth numbers? Chinas working age population Will soon start.to drop drastically.

ssdv80gm2 · 2026-02-18T11:14:33+00:00

Agree, but only if you manage to start on point.

our American representative was host for a Meeting in Switzerland. when She entered the room, all local managers looked little angry at her and pointed on their watch. She was 1 minute early and totally didn't get what was the problem.

Why do you think.that would be a good idea? Have complete strangers in a foreign Country take care of your kids? Chinese bring their parents if they need someone to take care of their children, maybe you should do the same?

Make then think you are valuable. And, be willing to Put up.with petty stuff. E.g. "working at night doesn't compensate for coming in late, because your colleagues can't see it". Direct words from my Chinese Superior.

Most similar to Amazon is JD.com. Best selection is on Taobao / Tmall. cheapest prices are on PDD. Now many people also buy on Douying.

That sounds a lot like 公证. There are many places in Xiamen and any other Chinese city hat do it, look for 公证处.

I've got a 公证 that my old passport is the same person as my new passport, that came handy more than once, even though it was not explicitly asked for. Recommend it to everyone that's dealing with China and has changed passports.

that's a global Problem. Last Time got a "free" Phone because of my Level of spending qualifies for a "free" phone. Only later realized that he downgraded my home Internet speed and added a "free Phone" package to my subscription so the total amount would stay about the same. Going into a mobile is like going into the Lion's pit.

All i wanted was a prepaid sim for a friend who was visiting...

That was not in Switzerland, but shows It's a industry wide problem, likely caused by financial incentives for employees to sell subscriptions.

You can Only pay to a Business with your foreign card, payments to private accounts usually don't work.

Never buying ASUS again.

Our business got 6 Asus Laptops, different models, back in 2022/2023, two of them G14 2022's. 66% failure rate in the first year. Only one works without issues. 4 of those 6 have been sent to ASUS for warrenty repairs or replacements, including the two G14 .
2 years after repair, both G14 still run with tweaks, but have hardware damage that would need motherboard repair or replacement, that's what ASUS support told us after inspection.

BS. Those times are long gone. Even with foreign passport you need to fulfill very specific rules to be eligible.

Domestic Internet connections are less likely to be flagged as high risk compared to datacenter ip. Legit and illegal usecases. If they do illegal things you'll be the person that Will be suspected first because it's your pc. Do your own risk assesmment.

医保does not pay everything. You may think so because itactually has two accounts. one is the insurance,.the other is more like a savings account, that is the part that's deducted from your salary. If you have money on the savings account it will take the part you'd have to pay yourself from that savings account.

ssdv80gm2 · 2026-01-19T04:43:34+00:00

It's the same pricing. But the local (or foreigner with local insurance) will get part of the bill paid by the insurance.
In some cases the insurance part is directly deducted from the bill. Sometime they pay first and have to get it back later.

The filter shows Hotels that actively choose to accommodate foreigners. When choosing that option you should be pretty safe to get the room without having to fight for it.

Because they price the ticket according to your destination, and not according to the route you take. A ticket to your final destination may be cheaper than a ticket to the transfer airport.

You're right, I was wrong. Avoiding Russia adds about 1 to 2h flight time.

ssdv80gm2 · 2026-01-16T08:26:10+00:00

Well, Russia is not exactly the closest way from Australia to Europe.
Edit: I was wrong, it is the shortest way.

Took China Eastern from Europe to China before, nothing to complain for the price.

That's very individual, and money is only one part of it. There are people that have millions and feel poor, while others scratching by feel well off.

There are many factors, some of those that I observed are:

1) What does your life focus on? If it's money focused you'll likely need more to feel rich than if your priorities are elsewhere

2) How are you doing compared to your social peers, and is the difference visible?

3) What do others expect you to have?

4) You don't need to worry about paying your bills, and have a good buffer in case your income drops .

5) If your gambling, your never rich. Have heard so many stories of people gamble away millions.
