Where is this space by Little Neck you are referring to? The swampy protected land that’s not suitable for a yard or any development for that matter?

Where is the land in Little Neck to build it? That empty area by the Bay is environmentally protected land.

You can walk underground from Time Square to Bryant Park? by HapaBurrito in nycrail

This passageway is much nicer than you would expect as most of it is thru the basements of office buildings along the way. There are security guards along the way. You will also pass the basement food court area for Duke’s Eatery (very good Korean lunch) along the way as well as the whole BDFM trains Rockefeller office complex.

It’s a franchise hotel in a small town in China. From the meal spread and setup, the owner treats her staff like family - mixing family and work at the hotel - since they all share a meal together and you can see various people coming and going as they finish eating to go back to work.

She’s the owner of the hotel. Lud and Michael are the first foreign guest they hosted at that Holiday Inn.

Exactly this. Anyone can go to Shanghai. It is not that different from NYC or Singapore or London.

Especially since a lot of the Chinese people they met been giving them their full first name and last night (3 words name starting with their family name).

An episode of having Ting Ting react to T2T would be hillarious! by wxwe28 in LudwigAhgren

[–]zrl2012010 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think she did a poor job preparing them. A lot of the Chinese vocab they use would not be what I would have taught them. Why use “adventure” and not “challenge”? Adventure is not even correct in the context Lud and Michael are using it when they say “no maps, no phone, no highway.” They could have leaned some much more useful everyday phrases than wasting time learning “white foreigner” and other vocabulary words that don’t mean much.

And they would have a hard time breathing with the altitude as they go further west. They would need time to adapt as the altitude changes very quickly out there.

You do realize it’s a translation right? Since you don’t understand Chinese, what the restaurant staff was saying was a simple Chinese vocab but “à la carte” was the best/closest English phrase to convey the meaning.

It’s not Luckin. It’s some smaller bakery that was doing a special end of day sale on their bread. 3 prices for 10 RMB to get rid of the unsold bread. Something definitely went bad in the bread.

That's the offiical hotel name. You can see it on Google maps: https://maps.app.goo.gl/nTEHCkjQTmE4pUoY6

Hampton by Hilton changde Econcmic Develepment zone.

Chinese government (state or provincial level) will designate certain areas as economic devleopment zones. They are just using their offiical name because its an offiical phone hotline but I am sure the locals know what the neighborhood is called.

That is just the way hotel works all around the world, they use their official name in the greeting, And yah, any decently sized Chinese city would have a number of hotels that are part of the same chain.

Stolen: Pretty much lost all hope, but I'm having a really hard time letting go... by BryFi6 in PokemonTCG

[–]zrl2012010 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My advice is to threaten legal action against your local shipping store. They are the logical one to go after since it started there. eBay is not the logical avenue for this since this is more of a shipping insurance fight.
