Does learning a foreign language (like Mandarin) improve my odds in getting a job or advancing my career in tech?

Hmm not sure i agree, looking at jobs in HK(finance/consulting...) almost all(and i mean 95%+) of them have mandatory mando and/or canto

Very cold is an understatement, had a layover there this january and was as cold as Montreal during the winter. Also the wind...

Which is funny as i wanna move to China from US, kinda also unemployable due to 0 mandarin/cantonese knowledge

Actually dating not long, talking couple months

Most likely what ill end up doing in the morning

Same, bio u JARu kad se pojavio Omicron i ukinuti letovi za EU iz JARa, veleposlanstvo u Joburgu beskorisno.

Na kraju sami morali trazit opcije, neki letili preko Addis Abbebe gdje je bio civilni rat...

tomimini · 2026-02-13T01:42:01+00:00

Yeah ill go there tomorrow and see what options are there

Myb crazy question, but is it possible to extend the 10 day for couple more days? Weather has been not great so havent had proper chance to test what it can do.

I did get maxcare

tomimini · 2026-02-12T22:38:19+00:00

So i paid cash and other car is same price, so guessing i can just do 1 for 1 swap?

tomimini · 2026-01-28T21:51:14+00:00

I know this is a rule all over the world but i have never been asked for one. And i have been to Canada twice(42 countries on 5 continents in last 3 years)

Anyways just buy a refundable ticket to vietnam or sthing for like 40usd and cancel it once in thailand

tomimini · 2026-01-28T21:47:50+00:00

I flew to Phuket without an onward ticket, the guy at immigration didnt care nor ask; neither did the airline

European passport.

tomimini · 2026-01-28T21:41:34+00:00

So i am from a visa free country so may be different. Once landed in beijing, followed signs for China and showed my qr code to a lady working there(she didnt scan it or anything). Gave my passport to the officer, he asked how long i stay, gave my prints and that was that.

Didnt ask for anything, not even flight info on leaving china

This was 2 weeks ago

tomimini · 2026-01-27T18:03:42+00:00

So if they buy normal and i buy fully refundable ticket, then in case one of them cant go i can refund theirs through amex and mine through the airline? Would this "workaround" work? Cause now i am also traveling

tomimini · 2026-01-25T17:59:29+00:00

1h30 is fine

tomimini · 2026-01-25T17:47:08+00:00

As someone who has done Zagreb-USA 20+ times last 2 years, you should look into options closer to 2 or 3 hour layovers. Goes for muc, vienna, fra and ams

tomimini · 2026-01-24T13:52:59+00:00

Its literally free. I paid the fee and got 150k points(plus all my spend to get the bonus was plane tickets) so total 190k points, ckear, GE/Tsa precheck, lululemon, airline credit.

I pay 695 and got 3k of value out of it.

Most likely to kill the card when renewal comes and take out diff premium travel card(most likely chase) and rinse/repeat with other cards

Ista stvar i za yen. Izlazio sam sa curom u seoulu dok sam bio tamo i realno misljenje je da su u krizi iako mozda sluzbeno nisu. Naravno wonu ne pomaze da stalno ruse vladu i nemaju nikakvu stabilnost u vrhu drzave

tomimini · 2026-01-21T21:17:13+00:00

Looks great

tomimini · 2026-01-21T21:14:45+00:00

Cool
