@levelsio (Possibly already many people told you about this) Just in case, I strongly suggest just using Meituan network of chargers. You can pay them using your WeChat or Alipay account, and charge you by minutes consumed. Super convenient.

🇨🇳 Okay got Alipay to work Alipay is nice because it acts as a proxy to use other apps like Didi, and Didi won't let me sign up directly, so via Alipay it auto logs you in (kinda like OAuth) Also Meituan app lets me order food from anywhere and apparently it can arrive via a delivery robot Other handy app is Baidu Translate The challenge here is that every Western app like Google Translate, ChatGPT, Google Maps, ChatGPT etc doesn't work at all or doesn't work most of the times, so you kinda have to use the Chinese apps, like DeepSeek Of all my eSIMs my Revolut Global seems to work best, it lets me SOMEHOW open most Western sites fast with no firewall, while Airalo is extremely spotty switches to E (Edge) all the time, I also tried Airalo Hong Kong thinking I could use the Great Firewall hack but that didn't work Whatever @revolut Global eSIM is doing it works amazing in China Yesterday in the subway none of our eSIMs worked though, like we had reception but both of our phones didn't get internet to work. Also nobody spoke any English (which I understand, we're in China) and nobody can read English either So essentially we were illiterate (can't read anything), with no internet, nobody to help us. We tried getting a taxi but they wouldn't take us either because we couldn't communicate Again 99.9% of Chinese don't speak a single word of English, even in 2025, which is OK, it just makes things harder Calling the hotel with my Dutch phone SIM for €5/min ended up being the solution because they could talk to the taxi drivers So yes everything kinda works now! What I see with these travel blogs btw if I write it's difficult I get a lot of replies like "lol fucking n00b!" Which is easy to say but again it's not so easy here But that's also the fun part of China, especially after COVID tourism here from the West appears to have dropped rapidly and Western-Chinese relations have deteriorated rapidly after realizing what a threat China can be in its fast technological development etc. That makes it more interesting as a traveler though because you're the only foreigner almost everywhere I will keep you blogging what I experience next

Our profile of @jliemandt — founder of Trilogy and ESW, and now principal (and backer) of the much discussed Alpha School Joe was a wunderkind in the 90’s, but hasn’t spoken publicly in 25 years. He’s willing now, because along with @mackenzieprice, he wants to end the industrial era education system and usher in the AI education era. To give you a taste, here’s the opening of our story, a masterpiece by @JeremySternLA “Even after agreeing to break his silence after 25 years, Joe Liemandt is still reluctant to talk about himself. It’s hard to get him to relive Trilogy, the enterprise software company he founded in 1989, which by age 27 put him on the cover of Forbes, twice, as America’s youngest self-made centimillionaire. He isn’t keen to expound on SalesBuilder, Trilogy’s flagship expert system from the 1990s and the world’s first billion-dollar artificial intelligence product in all but name. Ditto ESW, the investment arm of Trilogy that’s acquired hundreds of software companies since 2000 and helped make him a decabillionaire, yet the mention of which makes the otherwise inexhaustible Liemandt, who always seems to be straining at some invisible leash, seem drowsy and bored... The one thing Liemandt will talk about for hours on end is Alpha School: the teacherless, homeworkless, K-12 private school in Austin, Texas, where students have been testing in the top 0.1% nationally by self-directing coursework with AI tutoring apps for two hours a day.” I suspect Alpha will become an extremely important points of discussion in the country, and this will help you understand how it came to be. And, if you have kids, it will make you wonder if they are being educated in the best possible way, or not.
