waerth Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 Well just to let everyone know i am alive. My 8th trip already since I came to the Netherlands, 5 times Manila, 1 time Beijing and now 2nd time Shanghai. I am 2-3 days in the Netherlands between flights. Which is great because the less time I have to spend in the Netherlands the better! 1st trip with my own tablet. I finally bought one Samsung Galaxy S2 I believe. Should look at the package again when I am back. Comes with bluetooth keyboard. Next thing install VPN before my next trip to China. They block almost everything here . Herr Sanuk, will call you when I am in the Netherlands again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waerth Posted September 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 a vpn is really a fucking necessity here. The block 99% of the websites here it seems even innocent ones like games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekong Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 I have never needed a VPN in China just install Orbot (TOR for Android) when from this side of the Great Firewall of China https://www.torproject.org/docs/android.html.en Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waerth Posted September 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 Ok I did use TOR when in Thailand. But it could be slow as hell Will install when back in Holland on monday. Hope for a next flight soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stickman Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 Which is great because the less time I have to spend in the Netherlands the better! Is the Netherlands really that bad? Ok, so it's 25 years since I was there but it was one of my favourite countries in Europe with much to like about the place and the people.

khunsanuk Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 Hi, "Is the Netherlands really that bad?" No, it's not. Planning a trip there for next year and am very much looking forward to it. Sanuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waerth Posted September 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 For short trips it is ok. I just really hate living there. I hate the system and all the rules. It is perfect if you want a life that is all arranged. But if your lifestyle is out of the box the Netherlands is the worst place to be. Now in Hong Kong on a layover where the internet is magically fully accessible again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waerth Posted September 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 @Meking installed orweb and orbot. Hope it works as I am going to Shanghai again tomorrow. As usual on the tablet it is not as straightforward as going to google play store. There I got a message .... it will be installed soon and an hour later no installation happening. But got it done in another way. The tablet is very bad when you want to have control over everything W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waerth Posted September 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 Nope it is not working here in Shanghai. Guess have to invest in VPN W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffalo_bill Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 The Netherlands would almost be perfect if not they would insist to behave as ruthless avengers of even the most unsignificant speeding on their motorways . Automatic systems are watching incoming visitors and check the numberplates for a history of earlier crimes , units possibly purchased from North Korea . France , in comparison , sends a lot of threatening pamphlets but ignorance solves these issues for ever . Maybe that is what Mr waerth means in lack of other hardship worth complaing about . The Netherlands are great . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
