I heard you mistook Dongshan for Shandong.

What Taiwanese people dread most are the traffic jams during long holidays. Everywhere you go to eat, drink, and have fun is packed with people.

I feel for Shenzhen's working crowd; many are caught in a super competitive work environment. Outside of work, their options are pretty much limited to strolling in parks. The beaches aren't that great an experience, Wutong Mountain has become just another tourist trap, and all those 'intangible cultural heritage' displays? Honestly, they're a bit of a joke.

I strongly support introducing Singaporean caning!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, you really know your stuff! I'm arriving in Shenzhen tomorrow afternoon and leaving the afternoon of the day after. Do you have any itinerary suggestions for such a short trip?

I wouldn't necessarily agree. I've been to Yantai, Weihai, and Qingdao. While the scenery there is nice, I found the water quality to be somewhat inferior to Shenzhen's. You can actually see crystal-clear 'glass sea' in Shenzhen.

But aren't deposits like that (定金 - dìngjīn, often a non-refundable commitment deposit) usually non-refundable? I thought it was only booking fees (订金 - dìngjīn, often a more flexible reservation deposit) that could be refunded, right?

My freshly washed hair already went flat this afternoon.

This weather is truly awful! When will it ever end?!

If they could do it all over again, I bet Guangzhou would tear down and rebuild Lines 3, 4, and 5, especially Lines 3 and 5.

I'm so over this place.

Did you go today? Was Happy Valley crowded today?

The weather was great when I went yesterday, and I saw plenty of animals.

Which road is this? It looks so beautiful!

I'm from Hangzhou and worked/studied in Nanjing for 5 years. I agree with most other points, but Nanjing's food is truly amazing. I ate so much there! When I returned to Hangzhou, I lost over 10 jin (about 5kg/11lbs). Nanjing duck is just too good.

Yeah, exactly.

Shanghai gives me such a strong will to live.

Exactly!! The boxed ones and the fresh ones are totally different~~ The fresh ones from Nanjing Road are delicious, and they have a really short shelf life too.

Taking a taxi in Shanghai is genuinely expensive. Whenever I take a taxi in other cities, I'm always struck by how cheap it is. I was particularly amazed by the prices in Shijiazhuang last time; it was incredibly affordable.

Does having Japanese and Australian visas increase the chances of approval?
