Hello everyone,

I originally wanted to buy the famous Chinese Adidas jacket but it’s sold out everywhere in Shanghai.

Are there any great and fashionable alternatives? I don’t need the three stripes or the Adidas logo; a Chinese or Shanghai brand would be fine. I’d like something fashionable and traditional like the Adidas jacket.

Any recommendations? If possible, I’d appreciate the name and a location or link to buy it on Taobao.

Thanks a lot.

I booked flights from Milano to Shanghai and back via booking.com. I selected my seats directly at booking.com and that’s it.

Yesterday, Booking.com emailed me asking me to check in if available. I went to juneyaoairline‘s homepage and when I started the check-in process, I realised there weren’t any seats for my name. I was then asked to select seats, but the ones I had requested from Booking.com were already taken. I’m unsure whether they were reserved for me by Booking.com or if they simply couldn’t do it. Booking.com could not give me any information about that. I want to avoid double-booking and any potential complications or additional costs.

When I read the warning of juneyaoairline, it says „At present, online check-in services are not supported for international flights; please check in at the offline counter in advance“ so now I am very confused and worried.

Any one has the same experience and can share support with me?

Thanks a lot.

Hello everyone,

My partner (Japanese citizen) and I (German/Croatian citizen) are planning to get married in April/May 2027. We both live in Japan and are not Canadian residents.

We’ve been looking into options and found that getting married in Canada seems relatively straightforward for international couples, so we are considering Vancouver.

I’ve read a bit about marriage licences, marriage commissioners, and registration, but I’m still confused about how the process actually works in practice.

Could anyone who has gone through this (especially in British Columbia/Vancouver) help us understand the process?

Specifically, we’re unsure about:

Do we need to book a marriage commissioner ourselves, or is this arranged through the city/province?

Can we get married at a town hall, or do we need to arrange the location?

Do we get two witnesses by whoever we request to register our marriage / perform marriage ceremony?

After the ceremony, how do we receive the marriage certificate, and can it be sent internationally (e.g. to Japan)?

Any general tips for non-resident couples doing this in Vancouver?

We’ve read some information online, but we haven’t found a clear step-by-step experience from couples in a similar situation, so any advice or personal experience would be really appreciated.

Thank you very much.
