>arrive at Beijing Capital airport
>notice that they FINALLY have SIM cards foreigners can use
>holy shit of course I want one. I need navigation if I am to find my hostel and it would be nice to have a map
>there's 3 types. 7 days, 14 days and 30 days
>well... then I want the 7 day option
>she asks how long I'm staying in China
>2 days, I say
>"oh, we don't have the 7 day option anymore. that one is also available until 9pm"
>it was 9:15pm
>she proceeds to remove the sign and tells me I can only buy the 30 day option
>mfw 30 fucking day SIM card for a 2 day stay
>still buy that shit because I need it
>fuck you fuck you fuck you, go to hell

*only available until 9pm

>>2732345
I got scammed AT the airport lmfao
>>
>>2732346
if you were an OsmAnd Chad, you wouldn't need data for navigation. I've traveled in quite a few countries with no cell service, it's only a PITA when check-in is done online.
>>2732348
This is not a scam. You got exactly what you agreed to buy and what you paid for, which was the 30 day plan. If you didn't want the 30 day plan, the proper response would be to say "no thanks" and walk to a different booth.
>>
>>2732354
it is definitely a scam because she asked how long I'll be staying first before telling me I can only buy the 30 day option and cough up the dough
>>
>getting scammed
based chink, you deserve it for falling for it
>>
>Arrive in Mexico
>immediately get kidnapped
You couldn't write this shit
>>
HAHA nice post dweeb >>2732335
>>
>>2732356
not really causes no matter what you said she would still give you 30 days. I guess maybe if it was like 32 days she would let you buy a 30 day one and a 7 day one
>>
Get scammed for $3.....cry about it
>>
The amount of people not travelling with offline maps always baffles me. Seems a travel basic but outside of overland travellers only a minority seems to have the wherewithal to get navigation properly sorted.

>This is not a scam.
100% a scam you wumao FAGGOT. I am beating up the next chink I run into just for your shitty posts.
>>
someone should buy your retarded ass a dictionary. you didn't get scammed. also, who the fuck needs a SIM card for 2 days? youre retarded as fuck.
>>
>>2732345
There are scammers waiting at arrivals in the airport. Usually they pretend to be your chauffeur or offer to take you somewhere.

What's the appeal of China? Japan and South Korea are a billion times safer destinations in East Asia (I can attest for Japan at least, Korea seems like a watered down Japan). The only thing I can think is visit a Shaolin Monastery or going to a Panda research center, like Chengdu.But it would probably be overcrowded too.

It's the only culturally isolated place left in the world. The only civilization without monoculture of the west. The only place to see what a self run society without European conquering and high IQ can obtain. It's absolutely fascinating for a racist like me who enjoys history and culture.
>>
>>2733278
You're forgetting North Korea
>>
>>2733270
It's 20x the size of China so 20x more things to see. Both are good countries.
>safer destinations
And China is still safer than practically any European or North American country

>China is still safer than practically any European or North American country
Claiming China is safer than Europe and North America is a bit dubious. Most of Western Europe and Northern Europe is safe. Especially the Nordic countries, excluding Sweden. But for North America, yes, it is more dangerous with Canada being the safest option.

>billion times safer
que?
>>
>>2732356
she was asking how long you were staying because if you were going to be working there then she wouldn't have sold you a tourist sim and sent you elsewhere.
>>
>>2733278
>high IQ
No. Just the opposite. China is what you get when you have a cultureless society made of low IQ insects. China is completely soulless and purely materialistic. It is what a society with no culture, no morals, and motivated only by greed and materialism turns into.

>german mid-century globalist ideology superstate ran by jews after total cultural suicide
>somehow more "culturally isolated" than the ~40 literal nation states in europe
