If my office buys me a train ticket from Hangzhou to Yuyao, do I still have to go to the ticket counter and present my passport to get a second ticket, or do I roll up with my printed ticket and just get on the train? This is probably a moot question anyway because no one has ever checked my train tickets ever, but I don't want to wait in line if I don't need to.

I'm heading to Changsha for a month in a few days, trying to get setup with a vpn... I know its a bit of a lottery with what vpn provider is getting blocked on a particular day and hasn't found a workaround, but any recent recommendations on a good/stable/working service? Someone had recommended vitavpn a ways back (free 150 mb trial), but I'm a bit dubious about using a proprietary client from a chinese company. Is this poo poo going to give me computer aids? I'm thinking just take the binary as a backup and install it if I'm desperate. I had strongvpn for a bit, but it didn't work for me in china last time. VyprVPN from the OP looks pretty decent, and with an IOS client as well for $15/month. Any word on them?

There's just the one ticket - although you might need to collect it yourself from the ticket agent.

The US servers are pretty slow, but I just bounce through Singapore or HK instead. I've heard Vypr is good, though.

Goagent is a good free VPN that works through google appengine, but it only works for in-browser proxies like foxyproxy.

I want to play poker while I'm over there, but I don't think they've bothered to block the servers you connect to, just the web sites. So as long as I could use Goagent to grab the client updates from the poker site, I think I'd be good to go. am I missing english instructions somewhere? https://code.google.com/p/goagent/wiki/InstallGuide Baddog fucked around with this message at 05:12 on Sep 10, 2013 |

As far as I know, no. The actual app is all in English though, so don't worry. All you need to do is follow the appengine link and set up a google app. You don't have to do anything else on the website, just set up an app and give it an appid that you can remember easily. The download and install goagent, go into the server folder and run the .bat file. Give it your appid. Then go to the local folder, open proxy.ini and set the appid to your appid. You need to run the .bat file for every appid you want to set up. You can have a maximum of 10. Each appid has a max of 1 gig per day and you switch between them just by going back to proxy.ini. It sounds harder than it is.

I also like that it will work on Android/iPhones as well.

DontAskKant posted:I'm saving this quote for January, I'll bring it back then. According to wikipedia, we've got just about the same climate (save Harbin's got drier winters). -30 lows are something we're used to at this point. Arglebargle III posted:Winter coats are super bulky for air travel. Actually my second question was: Is it feasible to ship certain things? Like a PC and winter clothes (the stuff I have is pretty good quality and nigh-indestructible)? My operating assumption is that if the cost of replacement > cost of shipping, then I'll ship it over or carry it (depending). It's gonna be kind of hard finding proper winter gear as someone who's 6' wearing size 12 shoes in China.

I've been teaching in Taiwan for four years and now might need to change jobs. I'm really not sure where to start looking though. Taiwan has websites like tealit.com that have tons of job postings. How would I even start searching for work in China?

Boy/goon/neckbeard/creep/random internet guy, I'm Chinese and have a family to live  It's nice actually have a family to live with instead of fleeing from the government over student loans. Your own house in the sticks was bought by your in-laws. Aren't you special? Actually it's pretty cool to have in-laws taking pity on you and give you shelter. It's ok to have an identity crisis and be indenial over yourself. Just get nationalized already geeze. This poo poo is turning into LAN. Aiya.

Thanks, got it working I think - guess I'll find out for real when I get there, but I see traffic on the appengine dashboard. Pretty slick. Thanks SB35 too, I did end up following the google translation of the faq. Ran across this guide as well if its any easier for someone else to follow: http://mrjetlee.com/facebook-from-china/ I'm paranoid, so used a throwaway google account, although from all the python I scanned through in the package, everything seemed aboveboard.
