Looks like Gweilo is thinking about opening a bar in Nanning. Assuming he goes through with it, I wish him well but it's a TON of work, upfront money, and risky. The location looks a bit suboptimal as well. Interesting to see how this plays out.

Re: First Let's Eliminate all the Doctors

Be careful with the beta blockers and the blood pressure. I took beta blockers for 20 years to control my blood pressure. In May, 2019, they took me off them because of kidney damage, and "venus insufficiency in the lower extremities". Circulation was restored, but I didn't improve. In Ja...

Re: Houston Consulate to Re-open? IF . . .

So what happens to those that would normally go to the Houston consulate (basically the entire southern area of the US)? Do they now need to go to Washington DC or are they getting reassigned to other consulates? The map on the official Chinese consulate site still hasn't been updated: http://www.ch...

Re: First Let's Eliminate all the Doctors

Similar thing happened to me. Went to my usual in-network corporate family physician doctor a few years ago for my rushed 8 minute physical + bloodwork. Cholesterol came back high and he immediately suggested prescribing statins. I went to another physician who I see on and off. This physician is ca...

Re: Politics

Yes, she's somewhat into politics. Reads both US and Chinese news. Leans conservative but really dislikes Trump, mostly for his demeanor and erratic behavior, but doesn't disagree with many of his policies. Obviously she's been less than impressed with the US response to COVID. She'll be filing her ...

Re: This is NOT the old CandleForLove forum

I think (3) would be a dream come true. Funny thing is some posts of there from the early 2000s that are still relevant today and fun to read once in a while. It also had that old-school message board feel to it and there was something charming about the graphics, outdated emoticons, etc. that made ...

Re: Time

I checked a few field offices at random and it looks like a minimum of 14 months. I'm not sure if those numbers have been adjusted to include the 3-month interview suspension from March to June of this year.

Re: China YouTubers - SerpentZA et al

The whole vegetable debacle does seem pretty innocuous, but given that none of these guys can read or understand Chinese I'd be pretty nervous to just appear in some random music video promoting who knows what. I can't say I've kept up too much with the China vlogging community these days but JaYoe ...
