Boomers trying to explain the kids memes from like 3 years ago.

Japan could have put him in prison without trial until he confessed. They chose not to prosecute, presumably because they didn’t want him in the country for even longer.

Hey you could still use it in Guangdong+Hong Kong, if you don’t mind getting melted in the miserable heat and humidity.

The Brightline isn’t terrible, its cheaper than driving.

Xi’an is cool. Really good food, especially if you get tired of pork.

I don’t remember doing an interview for my L visa. Just brought in the passport, had biometrics taken, and came back a few days later to pick it up.

Getting to that stage was annoying, I had to resubmit the application online like 6 times before they ran out of nitpicks to complain about.

For tourist visas? Which countries? I’ve never had to do one, and people I talk to only had to do similar things for Japan. Though admittedly I’ve only had to actually fill out a handful of visa applications because US passport is absurdly strong.

Not just the athletes, thousands will be travelling to America to watch the soccer games. I’ve helped a couple people navigate applying for a tourist visa, its kinda insane how expensive and needlessly time-consuming it is. You have to go to the US embassy for an in-person interview.

Its so sad when you return to a tiktok account you haven’t seen since 2020, and its 4 years of doing the same bit once a week.

Wtf we have phishing on the fedverse nkw?

Isn’t he supposed to be in prison?

Ever been to a country where motorbikes are just a normal form of transport, for both 16 year old race boy and 75 year old great grandma?

Or at all

Socialism is defined by opposition to capitalism, if you don’t support eventually moving beyond Capitalism, you’re definitionally a liberal.

That’s not unattractive. I was waiting until after things calmed down to visit, but maybe I head over earlier.

Weather is getting a bit warm though, will the position still be open in 6 months or so?

What kind of position are you talking about?

What blows my mind is that you read an article, and brought it up months or years later, and applied zero critical thinking.

What’s more likely? China set up fake police stations in America, where they have no authority, so they can be mocked by people they have absolutely no power over?

Or they’re there to provide legal services to Chinese citizens living abroad?

I mean for hundreds of thousands of dollars? I quite like traveling to China, but I like having hundreds of thousands of dollars too.

Motorbike is the cheapest and most convenient way to get around Vietnam, but my previous bike and tires were cheaper and serviceable enough, so anything more is luxury.

South China Sea

Not giving up your territory to minimize the number of adversarial military bases off your coast is entirely normal. Hell Taiwan still claims the 13 dash line, since Mainland China gave up some dashes here and there, including a couple to Vietnam once it was clear they weren’t going to host foreign troops.

Coffee(3USD). Whiskey(3-12USD). A slightly fancier used motorbike (1100USD instead of 400) and the more expensive brand of tires.
