Hello, I'm planning a trip to China and I'll obviously take bullet trains.

I sadly suffer from eczema so I need to have my body moisturizer and shower oil with me. They are in big bottles. Moisturizer is 400ml and oil is 1L...

I'm very confused about volume limits of liquids on bullet trains.

1. Will I be allowed to bring those big bottles of liquids with me on the train?
2. Does it make any difference if I have them in my suitcase vs carry on? I don't need them in my hand luggage.

If person who has received a rabies PrEP vaccination at some point in their life gets exposed, do they only need 2 PEP shots, regardless of when their initial vaccination was or what their booster status is?

Let's say I get my PrEP shots and never get a booster. If I am exposed to the virus 5, 10, or 20 years later, is there a time limit that "invalidates" the previous PrEP vaccine?

In case of exposure, would a patient in that situation have to take the full course of PEP as if they had never been vaccinated?

I am not asking for medical advice. I have read the FAQ.

I've been watching fascinating documentaries "Russian Roulette in Ukraine" by Simon Ostrovsky's that cover the events of 2014 in Donbass, Luhansk and Crimea.

I cannot fathom, what lead to Ukrainian state being so weak, that it couldn't secure its own borders and let Russia transport troops, vehicles and ammo to the separatists.

On top of that, some locals were very hostile towards Ukraine, I was particularly shocked to see people disturbing the elections, taking the Ukrainian coat of arms off the buildings and cheering for Russia.

I'm trying to understand what lead to those people, Ukrainian citizens, having zero, or even negative, attachment to Ukraine. Could something be done to win those people over or are/were they homo-sovieticus beyond saving?

Hi, some context:
- fit & traveling solo
- I’ll be entering China overland from Mongolia
- been to mainland China twice but places in my itinerary will be visited for the first time,
- skipping Beijing and The Wall as I’ve been there.

25.08, Tuesday: Arrival in Erenhot, overnight stay,
26.08, Wednesday: Train 🚅 Erenhot - Hohhot, arrival in the evening,
27.08, Thursday: Morning train 🚅 Hohhot - Xi'an, arrival in the afternoon, hotel nap, evening train 🚅 to Huayin, night climb up the Huashan and sunset at the top 🌄,
28.08, Friday: Huashan Plank Walk, descent, getting back to Xi’an and sleep,
29.08, Saturday: Travel back to Xi'an, sightseeing in Xi'an,
30.08, Sunday: Terracotta Army,
31.08, Monday: Train to Chengdu,
01.09, Tuesday: Pandas 🐼
02.09, Wednesday: Exploring Chengdu,
03.09, Thursday: Leshan Buddha day trip ☸️,
04.09, Friday: Train to Chongqing 🌃,
05.09, Saturday: Chongqing,
06.09, Sunday: Chongqing,
07.09, Monday: Train 🚅to Zhangjiajie, transfer to Wulingyuan,
08.09, Tuesday: Zhangjiajie National Park,
09.09, Wednesday: Zhangjiajie National Park,
10.09, Thursday: Glass bridge, afternoon transfer to Zhangijajie city,
11.09, Friday: Tianmen Mountain,
12.09, Saturday: Qixing Mountain and Sky Ladder ☁️🪜,
13.09, Sunday: Train Zhangjiajie - Shanghai,
14.09, Monday: Shanghai,
15.09, Tuesday: Shanghai,
16.09, Wednesday: Suzhou,
17.09, Thursday: Shanghai,
18.09, Friday: Flying home from Shanghai 🛫.

I think it’s not a bad plan, may be a bit rushed but not extremely. Some of the drawbacks are visiting the Terracotta Warriors on a Sunday but I can’t really work out coming there on another weekday and I prioritize Huashan over the stone army.

I may be able to extend the trip by two days. Not sure where I could use them though. Maybe spending one more night in Hohhot? Or an extra night in Zhangjiajie?

TL;DR czy w związku z nowymi regulacjami krypto w EU, jeśli nie chcę nic już kupować, a tylko przenieść krypto na inną giełdę, to mogę to zrobić na spokojnie po 1 lipca?

Siema, ostatni mail od Binance w sprawie nowych regulacji i tego, że nie dostali MiCA (sami chyba wycofali wniosek) był dla mnie wake up callem.

Czy najlepiej wycofać krypto z giełd bez MiCA przed 1 lipca? Przenosicie się na inne giełdy? Chyba z tych największych Coinbase ma tą licencję.

Myślę czy to nie jest dobry bodziec do przenosin w 100% na cold wallet, ale chyba nie ogarnę tematu przed 01.07.

Siema, w pierwszych odcinkach Kiepskich mówili czasem tekst "bo ja podam pana na kolegium!" i z różnych historyjek obyczajowych z lat dawnych czasem ktoś starszy opowie, że ktoś za coś trafił na kolegium.

Np. ciotka opowiadała, że miejscowe pijaczki ukradły jej kocioł, ale jej go zwrócili i błagali, żeby nie zgłaszała ich na kolegium xd.

Co to w ogóle było to kolegium i czy to jeszcze istnieje, bo raczej kolegium przewija się w wiekowych opowieściach?

Może ma ktoś jakieś zabawne historie z tym związane?

Hi, had this happen to me in Beijing. It was of course non smoking room but previous occupants didn't give a duck. The staff gave me an air freshener...

How to behave in this situation? Looking back, I think I should have demanded getting another room.

Hi, I've been taking Dupixent for almost 2.5h years but since around 6 months I've been getting red facial flares every two weeks and it doesn't really work on eczema on my back. My doctor said they'll be considering switching me to another biologic (not a JAK inhibitor).

Other than Dupixent has been great for my body eczema and I hadn't had this issue with face flares during first 2 years of taking it.

How was your experience switching the meds due to facial flares?

Hi, I just found out it's possible to rent a Shineray 200 CC for as little as 13 euro/day. It's very tempting. Has anyone drove around Mongolia on a motorcycle?

I've been thinking of doing something like a 3 day loop somewhere not far from UB, where I'd do max. 100-120km per day. Have you got any recommendations? Where to stay and will I be able to get petrol in any village?

Moreover I don't really have much experience driving motorcycles. I have my motorcycle license but I've only driven 600km on a scooter in Thailand. I wouldn't venture into very remote areas, basically stick to roads where there's at least some traffic.

Ta sprawa jest tak pogmatwana i nic nie ma tam sensu. Czy ktoś mógłby mi w formie TL;DR wytłumaczyć m.in.:

1. Dlaczego go zabili po otrzymaniu okupu?
2. Jakim cudem przetrzymywali go aż 2 lata i służby nie znalazły ich kryjówki?
3. Czemu każdy z porywaczy, którzy awansowali potem na zabójców padł ofiarą seryjnego samobójcy?

Jak ktoś nie zna sprawy to zapraszam na Wikipedię: Sprawa zabójstwa Krzysztofa Olewnika.

TL;DR If you've been to those places in early September, tell me if it's doable weather-wise.

Hi, I've been planning said itinerary, over ~3 weeks, starting in the very last days of August and finishing around 15th of September.

The only turn off is the temperature. From what I've gathered, the weather in the first half of September isn't much different than August and the temperatures magically drop in the second half of September. However, first half of September is the only time that I can come to China this year.

Therefore, I'm looking to hear first hand experience of travelers who've been to those places in the first half of September. Can it still be enjoyable? For reference I survived May and June in Thailand, however it's not the best weather to do sightseeing.
