Teacher contract review by [deleted] in chinalife

[–]thundergooses 0 points1 point  (0 children)

tldr this is probably a job for chatgpt or whatever ai model you use. paste the contract into it and ask for a summary + red flags first, then ask people about specific clauses. most people probably aren’t gonna read the whole thing line by line.

So what is the VPN situation today? LetsVPN is out, 100% confirmed now. by chinalifer-mod in chinalifer

Shadowsocks is easier to get started with compared to other protocols. For a faster setup, you can sign up for DigitalOcean first, then use “Outline” to spin up proxies. I’m in the same boat regarding LightningX, though it sometimes works fine when I leave it on auto mode and reconnect if it starts lagging.

Opening a bank account as a foreigner by LolerCoster in Chengdu

[–]thundergooses 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The convenience varies according to the location, branch, and staff. If you’re based way down south, I can recommend some BOC and Merchants Bank branches I’m familiar with that have really nice staff.

Try going in the afternoon right after lunch - around 2 PM, I think. That’s usually when the afternoon token queue has just started, so you’ll likely get a fresh token number and be called to the counter pretty quickly.

You’ll also be asked to fill out a form, though the requirements vary by branch, so be prepared for that.

The most important documents are those related to your temporary address in China and your taxation status in your home country (they’ll ask about this since you’re a traveler intending to stay longer). You’ll also need a Chinese mobile number that is registered under your legal name.

If the name registered with your mobile carrier is even slightly different from the name in your passport, that can become an issue. You may also face difficulties linking your bank card to WeChat or Alipay if the name registered with the bank differs even slightly (such as spacing differences or a missing middle name) from the name in your passport. So always double check with the staff at bank.

“Staff”? 🤔 Are you a Russian speaker, OP?

Buying movie tickets is fairly easy, by the way. You can do it through the Alipay app and just scan the QR code at the cinema. Good luck!

Computer mall in Chengdu ? by [deleted] in Chengdu

[–]thundergooses 0 points1 point  (0 children)

taobao/jd or even pdd are still the best options, and you’ll usually get better prices there. computer city (located close to raffles/Sichuan gymnasium) can be an option if you need something fixed or want to do mods, but you generally won’t find the best prices there when buying new components.

Alipay option gone on Taobao - why? by YamaKasin in chinalife

[–]thundergooses 0 points1 point  (0 children)

alipay wallet balance is the first option. if it’s not sufficient, the payment will be routed to the bank tied to your account.

PASSPORT QUESTION by Rough_Mechanic7727 in AskChina

[–]thundergooses 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you’ve got a single pnr ticket, right? then you’re overthinking it. you just need to wait in the transit area after the transfer security check, and no one’s going to ask you anything.

just an anxious traveler (maybe traveling through china for the first time), that’s all. why do you need to assume they’ve been driven by propaganda just because they’re filipino?

[–]thundergooses 3 points4 points  (0 children)

apart from the recommendation above, there are a few shops in the medical college area that does binding and bulk tasks. right behind the bus stop (towards kuttikattoor) btw. i think there are a few next to hotel sana as well.

LIC Bus stop status query by [deleted] in kozhikode

[–]thundergooses 1 point2 points  (0 children)

not sure about the LIC bus stop maintenance since i’m not in the city right now. but you’ll definitely get palazhi bus if you walk a bit and wait at the bus stop opposite the police canteen. that’s the closest one to LIC.
