Christmas travel

Hi! I am currently studying in atl and my parents are coming to visit for christmas. They wanted to visit a place with a traditional american-Christmas style. Think of the villages/towns)? With lights and dinners with a bell as you enter the door and pancakes and coofe. They have swen it a lot in movies so maybe the best description is something like the show everwood.

My mom hasnt seen the snow yet so I would love to be at a place with snow (around 20-25th of december) although I KNOW weather is unpredictable.

I need help because I am not from the US so no idea where to go. Also if its cheap or there are short cuts so that it is (we dont mind driving instead of flying or idk) that woudl be awesome, they pay for my studies and I sustain myself but neither have that much extra moneyy...

Thank you!!

Heavy info class notetaking

Hey,

Just looking for some input on how to study/take notes in heavy loaded classes. Currently taking medical neuroanatomy and I am not sure how to. Exams and quizes are open notes as long as is physical (printed or written)

How do you guys take notes? And study? Any tips?

Normally I transcribe and review but since is so much information cant really do that with out spending too much time. Most of what the professor says is in the powerpoint but im not really sure how to take notes on that (thinking about buying a tablet but not sure if that is gonna solve anything). The lecture is around 2hr and my attention span is fucked 😭

Also not a fan of AI... so hopefully some old school methods?

Etextbooks & homework plataforms - vent)?

I fuckign hateeee the need to pay to do homework... I get it might be easier for the professor and the interface are better than college, but having to pay 92.99 for it makes no sense 😭

Before you could at least o ly purchase the hw only, now you have to buy the textbook as well?? I don't have that type of money to be spending around

And I know there are this program to lower the book's cost. It just hasn't applied to any of the courses I have taken. I never opted out either.

PHYS 1111 profesor

I have already registered to take it with Jeremy Maune but realized I will have 15m to be in shareholder from Classroom South, so I was looking at other options, but the only one is Steven Manson, who is lower than the rate of my professor...

Any feedback on them? I am a neuroscience major and think I am good at physics but will begin taking a grad course and only major courses, so I'm scared 😭

Housing- what are we doing?

So what are we doing for housing? Cause this waitlist is not moving.

I really was hoping for the oncampus cause is way cheaper than outside 😭 but guess not.

Do you have any recommendations for housing? Budget is less than 800/month furnished and with utilities. Why doesnt it exist 😩

Considering One12 sinc emy budget is so tight... is it as bad? Would I be better off living in a room near college town and commuting everyday ? ( I gotta work and will probably go out early and come back late afternoon -not dark cause yh-) I dont have a car nor a bike kor a scooter and again cant really afford shit.

I knew housing was fucked up but damn like am I really gonna be able to study this semester

Toss bank debit card never arrived?

I opened a toss bank account and did all the steps for delivery, then one day recived a call from The delivery guy and I texted with him giving the adress... I went on a trip thinking surely it would be delivered, but came back to a text saying that it has been returned because the delivery time has passed? 😭 why is it so difficult just to dleiver it?

They had evrrything (adress) and I talked throguh message 😭 I dont knwo korean so there is no use on accepting the call (first tiem I did and they were just obvsly speaking korean)

Now I cant reissue the card until the delivery company guves it back? But I leave in a month and just want to be able to retrive my cash and use it (i can only use the face pay and qr which are not normally accepted) and take some cash out 😭 cant really call or use the live chat vecause all is in korean....

Any one know what I should do next? Is there any way to issue the card in person? Is there something I should do so next time they wont give it back?

I am so confused why is this so difficult 😭😭

Beijing Travel Itinerary - check/ how to see estimated times between attractions?

My friend and I will be going to Beijing from the 21st to the 26th (leaving at 1am on the 27th). She likes robots and tech, and I love food, but we both want to see the main attractions (history, local, and culture). I am thinking of getting the food in the hutons andd searching places near the ones we are going to visit, but first I wanted to ask:

Is this doable? (should we skip, add, replace or move something)

We want to go out one night but haven't figured it out on the schedule yet... when would you recommend that we include it? We were thinking of staying the night at a spa the last day (26-27), but again, we haven't organized the days.

In what order would you recommend doing the days?

Thank you in advance. I know it is a lot to ask for. Google maps doesn't account for traffic/does not have the public transport, and I can't figure out amap (working on it) Where can I check the times and routes between attractions?

Day 1 (fixed arriving Daxing 11am):

  • Beijing Automobile Museum
  • Temple of heaven (night)
  • Maybe a hutong or hot pot for dinner
  • Hotel

Day X1:

  • Tiananmen Square (flag raise)
  • Forbidden city (early morning)
  • JingshaN Park - Not to sure if this will fit
  • National museum (After lunch)
  • Qian Men Da Jie st. (night)

Day X2

  • Summer Palace
  • Zhonagging Mall
  • Beijing Zoo
  • Shichahai (sunset if we can )

Day X3 (I have read it takes about a whole day)

  • Great Wall Mutianyu  (Early morning- go down slide ) * Any tips?
  • Nan Luo Gu Xiang

Day X4

  • China Science and tech Museum (as they open)
  • Tianjin Day trip

Day X5

  • Lama Temple
  • Silk street
  • CCTV "pants" building (sightseeing)
  • Glumao Skyline (sightseeing)
  • China Zun Tower
  • Sanlitun

For reference our hotel is in Dongfeng near the China Nationality Film Committee Artistic Center)?

Thank you! I might write another post searching for food near these places haha

app to sell shoes & Songang Univ festival (unrelated but small questions)

I bought some Puma ballet shoes in my home country brought them so that I could "wear them for the first time" here and then they didn't fit :/

I made a post a little ago since I didn't have a phone number, but I got one! (needed for more important reasons, hahaha.)

What apps would be good and reliable to sell them on? Preferably, they have an English interface, and then I can manage with a translator hahaha. If not, it's okay.

On another note I wanted to ask about the Songang Univ. festival. in particular (I know I asked a similar question like yesterday. Will it be open to the public? I can't really tell by the translation of the Instagram post and I am more unsure since people have been selling student IDs n stuff , but I really want to see BIBI 🥲

Im an exchange student and want to expirience the festivals but I know only some are open to non-students... Do you guys know which ones are open to the public? I cant seem to find the information on the universities webpage/ig (i dont know korean so it is even harder)

My uni is doing one but those dates I will be traveling 😭😭 im really sad and have FOMO but of course the trip comes before the festival hahaha

Also if you could send me the link for where i can find more info (so that I can buy the tickets or see the hours ) that would be great!

I truly searched but the ones I have seen are only for students and im assuming is THAT universities students (songang, honkuk)

Thank you!

Hii! So i bought a Puma ballet shoes in Comombia in february and didnt use them until today... it seemed either my foot got bigger or the shoe became smaller hahaha. Anyways it was a lot of money so I want tosell them, especially since I havent use them.

Is there an app or website or app where I can do it without needing a korean Phone number? My cellphone is blocked by my carrier so I cant put either a physical sim or an e sim. Unlocking it isnt viable (300dollars) and I debate buying a used phone since the cheaper might not work with certain apps and I feel like most are related to a specific carrier too.

Any suggestions?

😭im out of money and selling these could help me... ill buy some cheaper shoes and make sure to walk three times the store hahaha.

Hi!

So me and 2 other friends want to travel to China for 5 days (so little but we have class that we can't miss and our budget could only allow so much hahah)

  • Shenzhen-> Chongquin ->Beijing

2d Sh, 1d Cq, 2.5d B

I really want to spend jusg a night at Chongqing (I know the sub has their reservations hahah) and my friend is an engineer and loves robots (hence Shenzhen), and Beijing is a must for the wall and the prohibited city. there any other city to see tech as Shenzhen closer to the north (my friend is open to other)? Should I reorganize the schedule?

Well I was thinking we could go to shnghai if we traveled at night:

  • Sh -> Cq -> Shanghai ->B

1d Sh 1d Cq 1d Shanghai 1.5d B

Any recommendations for each of the cities are welcome!

Edit: more realistic question hahah
