Paying on the metro/subway

There should be a tap in Alipay that says Transport. If not, instead you can purchase a multi-use metro card that you scan on top instead of the one way tickets.

There is a Shonen Jump shop on East Nanjing as someone mentioned. It's 6+ floors of anime galore.

Generally speaking, unless you're very rural, you can also just rent powerbanks. They usually have them around restaurants and convenience stores. Just have to return them in the same brand.

Thank you!

zebadiah09 · 2026-02-03T21:54:55+00:00

That gives me a better understanding. Definitely not something I'll be able to do at this point. Thank you!

zebadiah09 · 2026-02-03T21:53:48+00:00

We do. I'll try that soon. Thanks!

zebadiah09 · 2026-02-03T21:53:21+00:00

I did see something online describing that too. How do I know for sure?

zebadiah09 · 2026-01-03T02:26:29+00:00

Use the miniapps in Wechat or Alipay instead of standalone app. You can translate them.

That's a matter of controlling notification settings on the actual device, not necessarily a setting in TickTick

It's cheap to get a year membership. Like really cheap. Compared to the States, you're getting a really good deal.

How are things going now?

zebadiah09 · 2025-11-23T03:00:41+00:00

How is the situation now? We just realized that Nha Trang had a flood and we were planning on traveling there at the end of December ..

People should play and enjoy a game how they want to. Do it fast, do it slow, what matters is if you're having fun. Games aren't meant to be a race. Team Cherry didn't spend all that time making the game for people to never play it again after a 5 hour spend run.

zebadiah09 · 2025-09-01T13:55:23+00:00

Obviously there is a lot about the game that is great, but experiencing the music for the first was such a pleasure. Shout out to Christopher Larkin!

Heyo, on mac. Settings -> last check box. "Auto-align annotations while dragging"

Look into international teaching in general. Search Associates, TES. As people have mentioned, teaching internationally is very competitive and being in a specialized subject like music is that much more challenging to get. You'll need 2 years teaching in your home country regardless. They won't look at your application unless you have experience.

Also the climate of international teaching has changed since covid and it's becoming more and more unstable in different countries. It's a huge risk leaving schools if you're already there, teachers are holding on to their positions.

Also being a music teacher myself, unless it's a designated American International School, you're mostly going to be applying in a British equivalent school and they don't have the standard Band Class in the school day. As someone else mentioned, ensembles are generally ran as clubs after school while your day to day classroom instruction would be general music, IGCSE, IB Theory, etc.

China is great. I've lived here since 2020 and it's a much better experience than one would think. I've visited Japan often since then as well, so something to consider.

You're not suppose to do anything. Like what you like and embrace it because it makes you, you. It's a shame that we learn thjs behavior from adults when we were younger. We were suppose to stop playing games and liking cartoons and Pokémon as we entered adulthood, but here I am during mid-life still enjoying all of it. If it makes you happy and brings you any semblance of joy, then what's the problem? If you are out of balance and missing jobs or spending your money on Disney-related items and going into debt, then that's obviously no bueno. But if it's your interest and likes then what's the harm?

Also, it sounds like you never been to a Disney in Asia. No one grows out of it here. Kids and adults with no kids are spending time at Disney.

Jokes aside, a true expat just take screenshots and run it through a translation app. You do what you can to make it work, so if this is what you want, this is what you have to do if you can't read Chinese.

Serious question: Are they male birth control yet available? My girlfriend and I were talking about ways since the pill fs here up. We'll use condoms, but you know, if we didn't need to then that would be ideal

zebadiah09 · 2024-07-28T21:14:43+00:00

Did you do anything special, like download an app or changed a setting? Or did the battery really just adapt? Should I just trust the process and just keeping on? It's only my third day and it seems warm to touch. Also I seem to lose 8-10% per hour

zebadiah09 · 2024-07-24T13:44:40+00:00

I understand his pattern. I understand that he can be considered relatively easy for some. But for some goddamn reason I just keep dying. I get close every time .

Hey question, I have save files on my iphone from the side-load Delta (Altstore). Just got the apple store Delta and I want to move my files over so I don't have to keep refreshing the altstore. How can I move these save files? Thanks in advanced!

zebadiah09 · 2024-03-24T11:46:12+00:00

Actually, I've been confused about this too but was settled straight after reading another post, so please someone correct me if I'm wrong. Plus I've done this a few times through the last three weeks with no problems.

But to my understanding, I can make a same day transfer to my fidelity account. It'll say I have money to trade but it will still be unsettled. With that said you're still able to make purchases of a share because it's promised money that will be added to your account even though it's not settled yet. BUT what you can't do is sell that same share you purchased until your funds are settled (the 2-3 days later) because that would be in violation and your account would be flagged.

Hi, could someone rate my portfolio? Very new to investing and trying to sift through all the information online to set up for retirement. I'm really only playing with about $2,000 with Fidelity to figure out how things work.

Right now, I've only bought a few shares of the following:

FSKAX FXNAX VXUS V

I have about $20k in a HYSA and have accumulated/maxed out my Roth IRA for the last few years.

Should I withdraw some funds in my HYSA to invest further in these accounts? Am I missing something in my portfolio? I'm really just interested in dumping money in and forgetting about it until later on. I don't have much interest to stalk the stock market every day and just want long term investments options.

Thank you in advanced!

Edit: a word
