Looking back on my first trip to Italy
2023.04.01 16:06 whozeppelin224 Looking back on my first trip to Italy
Hello all,
My wife and I just recently returned from our first trip to Italy and I wanted to share some of my experiences and observations from our trip that may help others looking to go for the first time.
Here was our itinerary:
March 22-23: Rome (stayed near the Pantheon); March 24: travel from Rome to Positano, stay one night; March 25-26: Positano to Sorrento, stay two nights: March 27-28: train from Sorrento to Rome (Trastevere), two nights; March 29: return home.
The first thing I want to express is my wife and I had an absolutely fantastic time! I was super nervous about this trip as this was my first time overseas and furthest I'd ever been from home, but very happy we went.
Topics I wanted to share:
Mobile Passport Control: If you're from the US or Canada, download this app before you go. Do it. Don't think twice. If the airport you're returning to accepts it, this is a game changer. My wife and I skipped at least a 1.5-2 hour long line at customs and breezed through in about 15 minutes, time in line included. The actual process with the Customs office took less than 5 minutes. You answer some very simple questions in the app, take a photo of each traveler, import your passport information and then once you land, you submit all that information and get a QR code. You scan that QR code with the officer and you're basically done. If it weren't for that app, we would have absolutely missed our connecting flight back home. I will forever sing that app's praises-- it was an fantastic experience.
Research: absolutely do research. Don't just "wing it" going to Italy. I felt like having a general plan of what we wanted to do, when we wanted to do it, budget and understanding the travel necessary to complete our trip was huge to our trip's success.
Scammers: one common "prepare for this" I saw before going to Italy was these people who try to give you flowers or bracelets seemingly for free, then ask you for money afterward. Definitely saw them, mostly in Rome, and some of them have some interesting tactics to get your attention. For me, I heard a lot of "hey, I like your beard!" or "Nice beard, man!" We also saw some others who dressed up and would get in a photo and then ask for money after the photo. Just keep an eye out and so "no" or "no thank you" repeatedly and they eventually leave you alone.
Pickpockets: this was another common "prepare for this" I saw before the trip, but we never had an issue. My wife and I both wore crossbody bags and I wore a jacket over mine to hide the strap from behind. I had nothing in my pockets the entire trip, except for maybe my phone a few times, but nothing in my back pockets.
Cars/Scooters/Pedestrians: man, sometimes it felt like IRL Frogger, especially in Rome! Those scooters find any sliver of light and they're going for it to weave in and out of cars. At some crosswalks that didn't have crossing lights, you kind of just walked and hoped traffic saw you and would stop. From that perspective, Rome felt very similar to New York City. Even walking in alleys and streets off the main road could be a fun experience as well with narrow streets and cars or scooters driving your way. I never felt in danger at any point in time, but I felt like I had to keep my wits about me at all times.
Smoking: So. Many. Smokers. This was probably the biggest culture shock to me, and this is coming from someone who has been in bowling alleys their entire life including back when you could smoke there in the states. Smoking was everywhere, except on buses and trains. It's not like in the states where there are designated smoking areas or people try to separate themselves from others while smoking. That really surprised me and I had smoke blown in my face while walking, eating...even with our hotel window open it wafted in.
Moovit App: So, I had heard this app was really helpful in navigating the buses around Italy. I had mixed results. Sometimes it was very accurate, sometimes it wasn't. We also got on the wrong bus (but same number?) once and had to get off and call an Uber because we wanted to get to our hotel and didn't want to deal with a bus again. YMMV of course and some of it may have been user error, but I was lukewarm on it.
Buses: Speaking of buses, that was a wild experience. Some of them in Rome were packed to the gills and then some. It was crazy to see how many people could pack onto those buses. Overall, they were useful and got us where we needed to go, but thankful that neither my wife or I get claustrophobic.
Trains: We took TrenItalia to Naples and Italo to Rome. Both were fine, I didn't notice a huge difference between the two lines. We took the Campania Express from Naples to Sorrento and back and it was fine-- it was more expensive than the Circumvesuviana, but I thought it was nicer and a bit quicker. In Naples, you follow the signs to the Campania Express, but don't go through the gates to actually get on the platform. There is this alcove near the gates where you see people wearing Campania Express shirts/hoodies and they'll escort you to the train when it's close to arriving. But, in Sorrento, they don't do that and my wife and I almost missed our train back to Naples because we didn't realize we were standing right outside of it...it's not labeled as Campania Express anywhere, so just be aware of that. The other issue with the Campania Express is its schedule-- it only runs four times a day, so if you're using it, you really have to plan your entire journey around that schedule.
English: I know this is a common question, so I thought I'd share my experiences as well. I knew only a few Italian words/phrases that I looked up prior to the trip and I had no issues at all with the language barrier. Some people spoke English very well, others knew enough to get by. In my experience, the people who knew the least English was the taxi drivers-- we took three taxis during the trip: one knew a decent amount, one knew very little and one knew none at all (luckily I knew Italian for "Colosseum.") Other than that, really had no issues at all with the language. Funny enough, there were some times like at a store or something where the cashier could tell we were tourists (not that it was hard by any means lol) and I would say "Gratze!" and they'd be like "Thanks so much!"
That's just what is off the top of my head, but if anyone has any questions, feel free to ask! Happy to share.
Again, absolutely loved the country, loved the trip and had a wonderful time.

2023.04.01 13:48 SouthRelease First time in Italy, mini road trip, where to go?
Hi there, me and my wife want to go to Italy between April 30th - May 12th. We want to stay between 7-10 days in total. We are going with our car and our first city in Italy would be Milan. It takes us between 11 - 13 hours to arrive in Milan, so maybe we will make a stop in Bazel or Luzern and travel the next day to Milan or just arrive in Milan before the evening.
I am reading a lot of info online, but I'm really stuck on planning a good route + making the most of the days we spent in each city.
Our plan was this (if we arrive around 18:00 in Milan):
- Day 1: Spent the evening in Milan, walking through the city etc.
- Day 2: Visit the highlights of Milan
- Day 3: Take the train from Milan to Lake Como
- Day 4: Travel to Florence and visit the city
- Day 5: From Florence to Siena and then back to Florence by car
- Day 6: From Florence to San Gimignano and then back to Florence by car
- Day 7: From Florence to Cinque Terre and then back to Florence by car
- Day 8: From Florence to Bazel or Luzern and then back to our home the next morning.
I never heard about Siena, San Gimignano and Cinque Terre until yesterday when a friend told me, but it looks very nice on the pictures and reviews. Are these cities good to visit for a day and is it very busy around this period of the year?
Other things we were thinking about:
- Visiting the Ferrari museum in Modena or Maranello
- Visiting San Siro, perhaps also the AC Milan museum (?)
What do you guys think of this route. It will be my first time in Italy so if you know better routes/cities to visit or if I should skip certain cities, I'm happy to hear.
Some other questions:
- I heard about ZTL-zones? What should I do if my hotel is in a city? How can I reach the hotel without being fined?
- Do you recommend taking the train from Florence to the cities I mentioned, or should I take the car?
Thank you in advance for helping us out :)

2023.04.01 12:35 moondog151 "The Huang Yanqiu Incident" A rural villager would on three separate occasions go missing after going to bed only to wake up in a major city thousands of miles away and arrived in the city faster than he should've been possible given the distance.
| Huang Yanqiu was born in 1956 in Dongbeigao Village in China's Hebei province. Little is known about his early life aside from the fact that he worked as a farmer in the village and his mother passed away while he was a child. Huang Yanqiu On July 27, 1977, Huang was 21 years old and still working as a farmer. Huang was recently engaged and planned on marrying his fiancee after the harvest season and the couple recently began building themselves a new home. At 10:00 PM Huang had just finished his farm work for the day and went to bed in his unfinished home. That was the last anyone had seen of Huang for a while as the next morning when the village woke up on July 28 Huang was nowhere to be found. The village was greatly alarmed by Huang's disappearance and initiated a massive search effort to try and find him but there was no trace of Huang anywhere to be found. This worried and confused the villagers especially Huang's family as Huang never travelled far and only had a primary school level education. They searched the surrounding roads, ponds, cliffs and other unknown locations to try and find him and even contacted the nearest hospitals and police to ask if any unidentified bodies had been discovered but to no avail. Fortunately, Huang would be found alive and unharmed but this only resulted in more questions. 10 days later on August 6 the village committee received a telegram from Shanghai. The telegram said that Huang was being held at a deportation center and that they were hoping for a local to come and pick him up. The telegram was late to arrive because it was accidentally addressed to the wrong village. There was just one problem, the telegram from Shanghai was dated at 9:AM on July 28 less than half a day after his disappearance. Huang was later returned by the police in Shanghai and it was indeed Huang. There was just one problem, Huang being in Shanghai that soon should've been impossible. Huang was questioned by his fellow villagers and he could not provide an answer. According to him, he went to bed and when at 6:00 or 7:00 AM he was awoken by a loud noise, this noise wasn't that of the farm animals but instead the sounds of vehicles and numerous people. When he fully awoke he found himself on a sidewalk and that around him were cars, neon lights and tall buildings/skyscrapers. He wondered around and saw writing on the various buildings and businesses which said things such as "Nanjing Shopping Center", "Nanjing Restaurant", and "Nanjing Pharma" and that nearby was a large "swimming pool" which he later found out was Lake Xuanwu. It didn't take Huang long to realize that somehow he was in Nanjing the capital city of Jiangsu Province located 485 miles away from his home village. While Huang who was now in complete and utter shock at his circumstance walked aimlessly around the unfamiliar city until he was stopped and approached by two police officers. Huang due to his state of shock and disbelief could barely answer their questions. When they asked Huang what he was doing or who he was he simply said that he was "really lost" the two officers led Huang to the Nanjing Rail Station and gave him a ticket to Shanghai and told Huang that they would be waiting for him and once he arrived he'd be taken to a "repatriation camp" for migrants and those without a hukou document. Huang not knowing what else to do and being in no position to disobey or resist bordered the train. 4 hours later the train pulled into Shanghai station and Huang headed out for the first police station he could find and to his confusion, the exact same police officers from Nanjing were already waiting for him despite being out of their jurisdiction, not boarding the train before him and most of all the train was the fastest method available at the time to travel between the two cities and the officers did not bored the train. Arriving to Shanghai before Huang should be straight-up impossible. The two officers refused to let Huang enter the police station in Shanghai and instead dropped Huang off at the repatriation camp in Shanghai. Huang first told his story to a PLA soldier at the camp named Lü Qingtang and added the detail that the police officers in question were likely from Shandong province based on the ticket he was given. Huang stayed in the camp much longer than expected as when Huang woke up in Nanjing he didn't have any of his identity documents and when the telegrams were sent out to the village to come collect Huang they erroneously addressed them to Xinzhai Village instead of Dongbeigao Village. The confusion was only cleared up after Huang was identified via a birthmark and because the PLA soldier Huang talked to had relatives in the village. As mentioned any questions the villagers had were multiplied as opposed to answered. Huang arriving in Nanjing that soon should be impossible. At the time trains in China were too slow to make such a fast trip. The nearest rail station was in the city of Handan which Huang would've had to find his way to in the dark despite having never even been to Handan before. But even if he did make it to Handan all by himself with next to no money the train would take 1 whole day to reach Nanjing as opposed to the 9-10 hours between when Huang went to sleep and when he woke up. And this is without taking into account the waiting time for the train to arrive at Haidan station and trains were notoriously late back them sometimes even being held back by an entire day and tickets were expensive. Other methods of transportation also wouldn't work out. Planes and civilian aviation travel in China was still very new and of course expensive. The entirety of Hebei Province only had a tiny handful of airports with the closest one being in the north near Beijing located on the complete opposite side of Hebei from where Huang lived. It was deemed highly unlikely for Huang to make the trip there by himself especially as he wouldn't know the way and even if he did somehow make it to the airport there would still be the issue of paying for a ticket. A car also wouldn't work as nobody in Dongbeigao village owned a vehicle and even having a bicycle was considered immensely expensive and outside the means of the villagers. And even if he could use any of these methods it still wouldn't explain the short time as to even get from Dongbeigao village to the nearest city Handan would take 4 hours to drive from the village to the city by car. There was also the question of why Huang would assuming he wasn't lying would do this. Huang had never mentioned Nanjing or Shanghai at any point prior and the fact that leaving their ancestral village and families was frowned upon. How Huang made it to Nanjing in such a short amount of time is unknown but most villagers were prepared to accept it as a strange oddity and move on while others dismissed Huang as lying or bragging about visiting a city. That was until it happened again. On September 8, 1977, it was harvest season in the village again and Huang and his fellow villagers were made to do backbreaking work during a meeting held by the village cadres. At 10:00 PM the head of the village gave Huang and a few other villagers permission to leave and go to bed early as long as they send and deliever manure/fertilizer the next morning. They all took the cadres up on this offer and went to sleep. The next morning on September 9 the villagers arrived at the fertiliser storage area only to notice that Huang was missing. Thinking that he had overslept they all went to his house only to find it empty. Something different caught their eye however, Carved into his bedroom wall was a message and that message said "Shandong Gao Dengmin, Gao Yanjin Relax" Just like the last time Huang was in Shanghai and was quickly sent back to the village on September 11 and this time there were witnesses both in Shanghai and Dongbeigao. A majority of the village witnessed Huang go to his house and sleep before his disappearance the next morning and just like with his first disappearance Huang couldn't explain it. According to Huang, he woke up at The Shanghai Rail Station due to a cold breeze, the same one the two mysterious police officers sent him to. Huang was again startled by his surroundings as it was the middle of the night and according to the Station's clock tower, it was 2:00 AM and as far as Huang could see there were no other people and the only light came from the stars and moon. Not only had Huang unknowingly travelled a far distance in an impossibly short time but he also did it at an inopportune time because along with the darkness Huang was constantly startled by the sound of thunder, lighting and battered by heavy rain and high winds because Typhon Babe had recently made landfall near Shanghai. Huang who was now even more terrified than he was before could only think of Lü Qingtang, Lü was the PLA soldier who helped him after his first trip to Shanghai and was the one who ultimately helped him return home due to his relatives in the village. Lü was not only the only person Huang could think to help him but he was also the only person he knew at all in Shanghai. Finding Lü was not going to be easy as Huang wouldn't be able to navigate Shanghai at all let alone during a typhoon in the middle of the night with no people in sight. As Huang began to walk he heard a voice coming from behind him hearing a man say "Hello there, you must be Huang Yanqiu of Feixiang County. Trying to head to the artillery division?" this shocked him immensely and he quickly turned back to see who this person was. When he turned around he saw two men dressed in military uniforms. They told Huang that they were soldiers belonging Lü's division and were assigned to pick him up from the railway station. Huang followed the men who took various ferries and buses before arriving at the "artillery division" located in what is today the Pudong District. Despite how heavily guarded the area is the guards let Huang and the two men pass without issue. They then went to where Lü lived with his family and they were completely shocked to see them as well as Huang again. Lü however, wasn't home at the time. His wife Li Yuying was surprised that the three were even at their home because according to Li "When a relative comes to visit, they have to show their legal documents and sign in at the gate, we'll then come down and confirm their identities, then they can finally be let in. No way the guards and soldiers would let them in without any proceedings!" and years later Lü's son when questioned about the case would say that the two solider's uniforms looked off, he commented that . "...their uniforms looked quite the ordinary, yet not very fitting, especially their visors. One's shoes and visor are the most important part of the uniform,... their visors were too big, and their uniforms seem to have been borrowed, too." Before his family could question the two they simply walked away and couldn't be found again. Huang being at the base was a major security violation and officials interrogated the guards on duty who all claimed to have never seen Huang and the two soldiers at any point. Once Lü returned home another telegram was sent directly to the head of Dongbeigao Village and they wanted to know every last detail about Huang and who exactly he was with the telegram even straight up asking if Huang was a spy. They received a response from the head of the village, telling them that Huang was just a farmer with no ill intent. Without any other information, the army decided to send Huang back to the village but sternly warned him that he'd be arrested if they ever see him again. He returned home on September 11. In their official reports the military was unable to explain how Huang got to Shanghai so quickly and managed to get into the base. Due to the multitude of witnesses testifying that Huang went to sleep in the village and the military confirming that he was in Shanghai all those who felt that Huang was lying about his travels soon had their doubts erased. Huang became the most talked about resident of the village and not in a good way as he became the main subject of all the local gossip, rumours and of course superstitions. Many thought that he was possessed or haunted with that being the reason for his seemingly supernatural speed and ability to travel such short distances. The constant attention took a mental toll on Huang's fiance who sued his family for 200 yuan due to "reputational damages" and divorced him. This financially and emotionally ruined Huang and it was when he was at his lowest that the third and final incident happened. Huang continued his work as a farmer and labourer for the village and on September 20, 1977, he had finished his work for the day and began walking home. According to Huang, however, so tired that he ended up passing out in the yard in front of his house and went missing again. He would stay missing until September 28 when he was found under a Jujube tree in the village and when asked where he had been he told them about the most extraordinary story yet. According to him, after he passed out in front of his home he woke up and instead of on the sidewalk or in a deserted train station during typhoon season he instead found himself in a luxury hotel room. He looked around and behind him, he saw the same two men from the first two incidents. This time, however, they were both dressed in civilian clothing and introduced themselves. They told Huang that they were brothers from Shandong Province and identified themselves as Gao Dengmin, 26, and Gao Yanjin, 25. Huang also estimated that they were around 170 cm tall. They told Huang that they were the cause behind his disappearances and that they dressed as police and soldiers to help him find his way home, they said that they had something special planned for Huang and that during the next 9 days, they would take him to 9 major cities. Huang asked where he was right now and the brothers told him that it was still September 20 and that he was in Lanzhou located in China's Gansu Province the furthest he has ever been from home. A composite sketch of the two created by the police Soon Huang would learn how he had travelled so far so quickly because the next day on September 21 they made Huang climb onto their back and as Huang would later state "They took off" and quite literally flew away with just their bodies. Huang said that they were "flying" at a low altitude and that he didn't feel any wind, he also recounted that the brothers took turns carrying him on their back. In over an hour, the three had arrived in Beijing. They first went to the Chang'an Grand Theater without tickets and just like at the army base nobody stopped them. They watched an opera performance of Forced Onto Mt. Liang. Their next stop was Tiananmen Square and were in front of a Huabiao. The brothers who were now speaking standard Mandarin instead of their dialects introduced Huang to the surrounding areas and checked into a hotel showing the staff a "provincial-level introduction letter" for registration. That same day they then flew to Tianjin where they snuck into a movie theatre without tickets and watched a movie. On September 22 they arrived in Harbin located in Heilongjiang Province. In Harbin, they visited a department store and then visited Changchun in Jilin Province. On September 23 they went to Shenyang in Liaoning Province. On September 25 they visited Fuzhou in Fujian Province before visiting Nanjing. They spend the next day in Nanjing. On September 27 they visited Xi'an in Shaanxi Province for the Mid-Autumn Festival. Also on September 27, they made their last stop returning to Lanzhou. When Huang went to sleep in their hotel room he woke up under the jujube tree mentioned earlier and was back in Dongbeigao Village They travelled to every city via the brothers flying and according to Huang no matter how close or how far the city was the time it took to get there was always 1 hour. He also noted that the brothers could speak the local dialects of all the provinces they visited and whenever they went to hotels the brothers always had a "provincial-level introduction letter". One of the brothers always watched Huang while the other would borrow clothing such as police or military uniforms from somewhere Huang didn't know. Clothing and yuan for the accommodations and meals were the only items the brothers carried as they didn't seem to own items such as bags and wallets. Aside from their ability to fly to anywhere they wanted and their strange behaviour such as only carrying clothes and money, Huang said that they were seemingly normal human beings in every other aspect and ate and slept like anyone else. They also had the same body temperature as anyone else would The only rules they seemed to have were that Huang was not allowed to photograph them or anything and he couldn't keep any souvenirs from his trips. When Huang asked why they singled him out they wouldn't respond and when he asked if they could teach him how to fly like them or tell him how they learnt to do it they gave a firm "No" as their answer. Just as they had told him in the 9 days he was missing they had visited 9 different cities. A map of his travels Huang was the talk of the village all over again and the superstitions that gods or ghosts were responsible continued. Eventually, the gossip around Huang had gotten to the point that the local police, propaganda department and the nearest military base had heard of Huang's story and began a very extensive investigation into Huang. Offical's believed that he was purposefully sabotaging the village's production and reputation and proceeded to classify him as a "class enemy" While being interrogated his behaviour was found to be "normal" and he showed no signs of mental illness or cognitive disorders. After they were unable to find any evidence of Huang being a threat they reluctantly let him go and revoked his "class enemy" status. Huang's story became well known throughout China and is one of the country's most famous alleged paranormal events and even the government officially declares his case as "unexplained" This is not the end of Huang's story though. On December 14, 2004, the case was reinvestigated by Zhang Jingping, an investigator of the Beijing Branch of the China UFO Association, Ji Jianmin, the chairman of the Feixiang UFO Association, and Dr. Wu, a famous Chinese hypnotist, professor of Peking University Medical Department. There was rather conclusive evidence of Huang's first two incidents as numerous witnesses as well as official telegrams all confirm that Huang had gone to sleep in his home village only to appear in Shanghai but there was far more doubt as to if he had been to any of the cities mentioned during his third disappearance. Huang was put under hypnosis and asked what happened and he told the doctor the same story he did back in 1977. Huang eventually woke up from the hypnotic state claiming that one of the two brothers made him wake up. In 2004 a documentary was made by CCTV and several interviews and tests were conducted during the documentary. He was subjected to a polygraph test and he ended up failing the test and Huang refused to accept these results. Those administering the tests also admitted that Huang's declining memory, the 27-year gap between the test and the incident and the stress of being subjected to such a test for the first time may affect the results. During the documentary, the police based on Huang's descriptions also created composite sketches of Gao Dengmin and Gao Yanjin. Due to the advancement in China's transportation infrastructure, Huang was brought to Nanjing and he was able to retrace his steps and attempt to recreate his journey from the sidewalk to the former then non-existent military base. They then brought Huang to the physiatric division of Beijing Anding Hospital where the lead doctor after reading his statements said that the brothers would've been travelling at supersonic speeds and that Huang had been sleepwalking or lying. Although nobody defended him from claims of sleepwalking his fellow villagers all refused to entertain the possibility that Huang was purposefully lying to them. They cited Huang's lack of motivation or ability to travel, how he travelled to Shanghai in such a short amount of time and how he had no reason to lie about it since telling his story caused him to become a laughing stock and lost him his fiance. Huang quite literally gain nothing from telling this story and it severely affected him negatively. Aside from a lack of evidence others supporting the lying theory state that Huang only claimed to have visited major cities prompting some to speculate that he just picked them out from a map and that oddly enough he never visited Shijiazhuang which is the capital of Hebei, the province that Huang actually lives in. Huang was examined by other psychologists and mental health professionals who deemed Huang to be sane which is the source of the sleepwalking theory. As this theory suggests, Huang was sleepwalking when he made his way to Nanjing and that the stories of the two brothers were just dreams he had while sleepwalking. Various Chinese netizens don't view this theory as credible since Huang while sleepwalking would need to either walk all the way to the train station in Handan (which would take 4 hours to drive to by car) and buy a tick with money he didn't have all while asleep. And while still sleeping once the train stopped in Zhengzhou he would've sleepwalked onto the next train to Shanghai all with nobody noticing he was sleepwalking and waking him up. Just to be sure though doctors performed an MRI scan of Huang's brain and the results came back normal. The third theory is that Huang suffered from multiple personality disorder and that Gao Dengmin and Gao Yanjin were in fact Huang himself and that he just perceived them as different people due to his disorder. The Gao personalities are the ones that actually travel to the locations only for Huang's normal personality to take over once he arrives at the destination hence him waking up. This theory also states that Huang flying on their backs is actually just a fantasy of Huang Yanqiu's repressed personality. This theory doesn't stand up to scrutiny as various Mental Health officials have found Huang sane and that he would've shown signs of multiple personality disorder before and after the three incidents. This theory also wouldn't explain the short travel times and Lü Qingtang's wife and son also witnessing the two as separate people. There is one more theory though it is from those who want to believe that it is all real and that Huang is telling the truth and that UFOs may be involved. They looked further into Huang's claims to try and find any proof that he was in the cities mentioned during his third disappearance. According to one source when describing the weather they matched up with geological data at the time but this appears to be unconfirmed. A journalist went to the Chang'an Grand Theater in Beijing to look through their records and see if they ever held the same performance Huang claimed to have seen. He discovered that the theatre closed due to the 1976 Tangshan Earthquake and wouldn't reopen until 1979 meaning that Huang could not have seen any performances in that theatre. However, there was another theatre nearby named the Jixiang Theater and they were open in 1977 and on September 21, 1977, the day Huang claimed to be in Beijing they held a performance of Forced Onto Mt. Liang. This journalist ruled that Huang hailing from a small and rural village could've easily confused two nearby and similar theatres in an unfamiliar environment such as the major city of Beijing. There are also those who agree that Huang travelled at nearly supersonic speeds but instead have a more terrestrial explanation and that Huang fell victim to military experimentation. This theory states that the military flew Huang to these cities for various experiments and that the Gao brothers were high-ranking officials in charge of the experiments. They then drugged Huang and made him undergo hypnosis to make him forget what he experienced. Many are skeptical of this theory because if the Chinese government wanted to conduct human experimentation they had a myriad of death row inmates and political prisons to draw upon so why instead abduct an innocuous rural farmer from his small village? "The Huang Yanqiu Incident" remains one of China's most infamous unsolved mysteries but as of now, there have been no new developments as a now 67-year-old Huang has opted to live a quiet life in his village away from the cameras. The last bit of news from Huang came from 2008 when he underwent another round of mental evaluations Sources https://baike.baidu.com/item/%E9%BB%84%E5%BB%B6%E7%A7%8B%E4%BA%8B%E4%BB%B6/3270760 http://www.cctv.com/program/zoujinkexue/topic/science/C14443/20050729/100743.shtml http://www.cctv.com/program/zoujinkexue/topic/science/C14443/20050729/100649.shtml http://www.cctv.com/program/zoujinkexue/topic/science/C14443/20050728/102027.shtml http://www.cctv.com/program/zoujinkexue/topic/science/C14443/20050727/102186.shtml https://zhuanlan.zhihu.com/p/27626821 submitted by moondog151 to HighStrangeness [link] [comments] |

At 10:00 PM Huang had just finished his farm work for the day and went to bed in his unfinished home. That was the last anyone had seen of Huang for a while as the next morning when the village woke up on July 28 Huang was nowhere to be found.
The village was greatly alarmed by Huang's disappearance and initiated a massive search effort to try and find him but there was no trace of Huang anywhere to be found. This worried and confused the villagers especially Huang's family as Huang never travelled far and only had a primary school level education. They searched the surrounding roads, ponds, cliffs and other unknown locations to try and find him and even contacted the nearest hospitals and police to ask if any unidentified bodies had been discovered but to no avail.
Fortunately, Huang would be found alive and unharmed but this only resulted in more questions. 10 days later on August 6 the village committee received a telegram from Shanghai. The telegram said that Huang was being held at a deportation center and that they were hoping for a local to come and pick him up. The telegram was late to arrive because it was accidentally addressed to the wrong village. There was just one problem, the telegram from Shanghai was dated at 9:AM on July 28 less than half a day after his disappearance. Huang was later returned by the police in Shanghai and it was indeed Huang. There was just one problem, Huang being in Shanghai that soon should've been impossible.
Huang was questioned by his fellow villagers and he could not provide an answer. According to him, he went to bed and when at 6:00 or 7:00 AM he was awoken by a loud noise, this noise wasn't that of the farm animals but instead the sounds of vehicles and numerous people. When he fully awoke he found himself on a sidewalk and that around him were cars, neon lights and tall buildings/skyscrapers. He wondered around and saw writing on the various buildings and businesses which said things such as "Nanjing Shopping Center", "Nanjing Restaurant", and "Nanjing Pharma" and that nearby was a large "swimming pool" which he later found out was Lake Xuanwu. It didn't take Huang long to realize that somehow he was in Nanjing the capital city of Jiangsu Province located 485 miles away from his home village.
While Huang who was now in complete and utter shock at his circumstance walked aimlessly around the unfamiliar city until he was stopped and approached by two police officers. Huang due to his state of shock and disbelief could barely answer their questions. When they asked Huang what he was doing or who he was he simply said that he was "really lost" the two officers led Huang to the Nanjing Rail Station and gave him a ticket to Shanghai and told Huang that they would be waiting for him and once he arrived he'd be taken to a "repatriation camp" for migrants and those without a hukou document. Huang not knowing what else to do and being in no position to disobey or resist bordered the train. 4 hours later the train pulled into Shanghai station and Huang headed out for the first police station he could find and to his confusion, the exact same police officers from Nanjing were already waiting for him despite being out of their jurisdiction, not boarding the train before him and most of all the train was the fastest method available at the time to travel between the two cities and the officers did not bored the train. Arriving to Shanghai before Huang should be straight-up impossible.
The two officers refused to let Huang enter the police station in Shanghai and instead dropped Huang off at the repatriation camp in Shanghai. Huang first told his story to a PLA soldier at the camp named Lü Qingtang and added the detail that the police officers in question were likely from Shandong province based on the ticket he was given. Huang stayed in the camp much longer than expected as when Huang woke up in Nanjing he didn't have any of his identity documents and when the telegrams were sent out to the village to come collect Huang they erroneously addressed them to Xinzhai Village instead of Dongbeigao Village. The confusion was only cleared up after Huang was identified via a birthmark and because the PLA soldier Huang talked to had relatives in the village.
As mentioned any questions the villagers had were multiplied as opposed to answered. Huang arriving in Nanjing that soon should be impossible. At the time trains in China were too slow to make such a fast trip. The nearest rail station was in the city of Handan which Huang would've had to find his way to in the dark despite having never even been to Handan before. But even if he did make it to Handan all by himself with next to no money the train would take 1 whole day to reach Nanjing as opposed to the 9-10 hours between when Huang went to sleep and when he woke up. And this is without taking into account the waiting time for the train to arrive at Haidan station and trains were notoriously late back them sometimes even being held back by an entire day and tickets were expensive.
Other methods of transportation also wouldn't work out. Planes and civilian aviation travel in China was still very new and of course expensive. The entirety of Hebei Province only had a tiny handful of airports with the closest one being in the north near Beijing located on the complete opposite side of Hebei from where Huang lived. It was deemed highly unlikely for Huang to make the trip there by himself especially as he wouldn't know the way and even if he did somehow make it to the airport there would still be the issue of paying for a ticket. A car also wouldn't work as nobody in Dongbeigao village owned a vehicle and even having a bicycle was considered immensely expensive and outside the means of the villagers. And even if he could use any of these methods it still wouldn't explain the short time as to even get from Dongbeigao village to the nearest city Handan would take 4 hours to drive from the village to the city by car. There was also the question of why Huang would assuming he wasn't lying would do this. Huang had never mentioned Nanjing or Shanghai at any point prior and the fact that leaving their ancestral village and families was frowned upon. How Huang made it to Nanjing in such a short amount of time is unknown but most villagers were prepared to accept it as a strange oddity and move on while others dismissed Huang as lying or bragging about visiting a city. That was until it happened again.
On September 8, 1977, it was harvest season in the village again and Huang and his fellow villagers were made to do backbreaking work during a meeting held by the village cadres. At 10:00 PM the head of the village gave Huang and a few other villagers permission to leave and go to bed early as long as they send and deliever manure/fertilizer the next morning. They all took the cadres up on this offer and went to sleep. The next morning on September 9 the villagers arrived at the fertiliser storage area only to notice that Huang was missing. Thinking that he had overslept they all went to his house only to find it empty. Something different caught their eye however, Carved into his bedroom wall was a message and that message said "Shandong Gao Dengmin, Gao Yanjin Relax"
Just like the last time Huang was in Shanghai and was quickly sent back to the village on September 11 and this time there were witnesses both in Shanghai and Dongbeigao. A majority of the village witnessed Huang go to his house and sleep before his disappearance the next morning and just like with his first disappearance Huang couldn't explain it.
According to Huang, he woke up at The Shanghai Rail Station due to a cold breeze, the same one the two mysterious police officers sent him to. Huang was again startled by his surroundings as it was the middle of the night and according to the Station's clock tower, it was 2:00 AM and as far as Huang could see there were no other people and the only light came from the stars and moon. Not only had Huang unknowingly travelled a far distance in an impossibly short time but he also did it at an inopportune time because along with the darkness Huang was constantly startled by the sound of thunder, lighting and battered by heavy rain and high winds because Typhon Babe had recently made landfall near Shanghai.
Huang who was now even more terrified than he was before could only think of Lü Qingtang, Lü was the PLA soldier who helped him after his first trip to Shanghai and was the one who ultimately helped him return home due to his relatives in the village. Lü was not only the only person Huang could think to help him but he was also the only person he knew at all in Shanghai. Finding Lü was not going to be easy as Huang wouldn't be able to navigate Shanghai at all let alone during a typhoon in the middle of the night with no people in sight.
As Huang began to walk he heard a voice coming from behind him hearing a man say "Hello there, you must be Huang Yanqiu of Feixiang County. Trying to head to the artillery division?" this shocked him immensely and he quickly turned back to see who this person was. When he turned around he saw two men dressed in military uniforms. They told Huang that they were soldiers belonging Lü's division and were assigned to pick him up from the railway station.
Huang followed the men who took various ferries and buses before arriving at the "artillery division" located in what is today the Pudong District. Despite how heavily guarded the area is the guards let Huang and the two men pass without issue. They then went to where Lü lived with his family and they were completely shocked to see them as well as Huang again. Lü however, wasn't home at the time. His wife Li Yuying was surprised that the three were even at their home because according to Li "When a relative comes to visit, they have to show their legal documents and sign in at the gate, we'll then come down and confirm their identities, then they can finally be let in. No way the guards and soldiers would let them in without any proceedings!" and years later Lü's son when questioned about the case would say that the two solider's uniforms looked off, he commented that . "...their uniforms looked quite the ordinary, yet not very fitting, especially their visors. One's shoes and visor are the most important part of the uniform,... their visors were too big, and their uniforms seem to have been borrowed, too."
Before his family could question the two they simply walked away and couldn't be found again. Huang being at the base was a major security violation and officials interrogated the guards on duty who all claimed to have never seen Huang and the two soldiers at any point. Once Lü returned home another telegram was sent directly to the head of Dongbeigao Village and they wanted to know every last detail about Huang and who exactly he was with the telegram even straight up asking if Huang was a spy. They received a response from the head of the village, telling them that Huang was just a farmer with no ill intent. Without any other information, the army decided to send Huang back to the village but sternly warned him that he'd be arrested if they ever see him again. He returned home on September 11. In their official reports the military was unable to explain how Huang got to Shanghai so quickly and managed to get into the base.
Due to the multitude of witnesses testifying that Huang went to sleep in the village and the military confirming that he was in Shanghai all those who felt that Huang was lying about his travels soon had their doubts erased. Huang became the most talked about resident of the village and not in a good way as he became the main subject of all the local gossip, rumours and of course superstitions. Many thought that he was possessed or haunted with that being the reason for his seemingly supernatural speed and ability to travel such short distances. The constant attention took a mental toll on Huang's fiance who sued his family for 200 yuan due to "reputational damages" and divorced him. This financially and emotionally ruined Huang and it was when he was at his lowest that the third and final incident happened.
Huang continued his work as a farmer and labourer for the village and on September 20, 1977, he had finished his work for the day and began walking home. According to Huang, however, so tired that he ended up passing out in the yard in front of his house and went missing again. He would stay missing until September 28 when he was found under a Jujube tree in the village and when asked where he had been he told them about the most extraordinary story yet.
According to him, after he passed out in front of his home he woke up and instead of on the sidewalk or in a deserted train station during typhoon season he instead found himself in a luxury hotel room. He looked around and behind him, he saw the same two men from the first two incidents. This time, however, they were both dressed in civilian clothing and introduced themselves. They told Huang that they were brothers from Shandong Province and identified themselves as Gao Dengmin, 26, and Gao Yanjin, 25. Huang also estimated that they were around 170 cm tall. They told Huang that they were the cause behind his disappearances and that they dressed as police and soldiers to help him find his way home, they said that they had something special planned for Huang and that during the next 9 days, they would take him to 9 major cities. Huang asked where he was right now and the brothers told him that it was still September 20 and that he was in Lanzhou located in China's Gansu Province the furthest he has ever been from home.
Soon Huang would learn how he had travelled so far so quickly because the next day on September 21 they made Huang climb onto their back and as Huang would later state "They took off" and quite literally flew away with just their bodies. Huang said that they were "flying" at a low altitude and that he didn't feel any wind, he also recounted that the brothers took turns carrying him on their back. In over an hour, the three had arrived in Beijing. They first went to the Chang'an Grand Theater without tickets and just like at the army base nobody stopped them. They watched an opera performance of Forced Onto Mt. Liang. Their next stop was Tiananmen Square and were in front of a Huabiao. The brothers who were now speaking standard Mandarin instead of their dialects introduced Huang to the surrounding areas and checked into a hotel showing the staff a "provincial-level introduction letter" for registration. That same day they then flew to Tianjin where they snuck into a movie theatre without tickets and watched a movie.
On September 22 they arrived in Harbin located in Heilongjiang Province. In Harbin, they visited a department store and then visited Changchun in Jilin Province. On September 23 they went to Shenyang in Liaoning Province. On September 25 they visited Fuzhou in Fujian Province before visiting Nanjing. They spend the next day in Nanjing. On September 27 they visited Xi'an in Shaanxi Province for the Mid-Autumn Festival. Also on September 27, they made their last stop returning to Lanzhou. When Huang went to sleep in their hotel room he woke up under the jujube tree mentioned earlier and was back in Dongbeigao Village
They travelled to every city via the brothers flying and according to Huang no matter how close or how far the city was the time it took to get there was always 1 hour. He also noted that the brothers could speak the local dialects of all the provinces they visited and whenever they went to hotels the brothers always had a "provincial-level introduction letter". One of the brothers always watched Huang while the other would borrow clothing such as police or military uniforms from somewhere Huang didn't know. Clothing and yuan for the accommodations and meals were the only items the brothers carried as they didn't seem to own items such as bags and wallets. Aside from their ability to fly to anywhere they wanted and their strange behaviour such as only carrying clothes and money, Huang said that they were seemingly normal human beings in every other aspect and ate and slept like anyone else. They also had the same body temperature as anyone else would The only rules they seemed to have were that Huang was not allowed to photograph them or anything and he couldn't keep any souvenirs from his trips. When Huang asked why they singled him out they wouldn't respond and when he asked if they could teach him how to fly like them or tell him how they learnt to do it they gave a firm "No" as their answer.
Just as they had told him in the 9 days he was missing they had visited 9 different cities. Huang was the talk of the village all over again and the superstitions that gods or ghosts were responsible continued. Eventually, the gossip around Huang had gotten to the point that the local police, propaganda department and the nearest military base had heard of Huang's story and began a very extensive investigation into Huang. Offical's believed that he was purposefully sabotaging the village's production and reputation and proceeded to classify him as a "class enemy" While being interrogated his behaviour was found to be "normal" and he showed no signs of mental illness or cognitive disorders. After they were unable to find any evidence of Huang being a threat they reluctantly let him go and revoked his "class enemy" status.
Huang's story became well known throughout China and is one of the country's most famous alleged paranormal events and even the government officially declares his case as "unexplained" This is not the end of Huang's story though.
On December 14, 2004, the case was reinvestigated by Zhang Jingping, an investigator of the Beijing Branch of the China UFO Association, Ji Jianmin, the chairman of the Feixiang UFO Association, and Dr. Wu, a famous Chinese hypnotist, professor of Peking University Medical Department. There was rather conclusive evidence of Huang's first two incidents as numerous witnesses as well as official telegrams all confirm that Huang had gone to sleep in his home village only to appear in Shanghai but there was far more doubt as to if he had been to any of the cities mentioned during his third disappearance.
Huang was put under hypnosis and asked what happened and he told the doctor the same story he did back in 1977. Huang eventually woke up from the hypnotic state claiming that one of the two brothers made him wake up. In 2004 a documentary was made by CCTV and several interviews and tests were conducted during the documentary. He was subjected to a polygraph test and he ended up failing the test and Huang refused to accept these results. Those administering the tests also admitted that Huang's declining memory, the 27-year gap between the test and the incident and the stress of being subjected to such a test for the first time may affect the results. During the documentary, the police based on Huang's descriptions also created
composite sketches of Gao Dengmin and Gao Yanjin. Due to the advancement in China's transportation infrastructure, Huang was brought to Nanjing and he was able to retrace his steps and attempt to recreate his journey from the sidewalk to the former then non-existent military base.
They then brought Huang to the physiatric division of Beijing Anding Hospital where the lead doctor after reading his statements said that the brothers would've been travelling at supersonic speeds and that Huang had been sleepwalking or lying. Although nobody defended him from claims of sleepwalking his fellow villagers all refused to entertain the possibility that Huang was purposefully lying to them. They cited Huang's lack of motivation or ability to travel, how he travelled to Shanghai in such a short amount of time and how he had no reason to lie about it since telling his story caused him to become a laughing stock and lost him his fiance. Huang quite literally gain nothing from telling this story and it severely affected him negatively. Aside from a lack of evidence others supporting the lying theory state that Huang only claimed to have visited major cities prompting some to speculate that he just picked them out from a map and that oddly enough he never visited Shijiazhuang which is the capital of Hebei, the province that Huang actually lives in.
Huang was examined by other psychologists and mental health professionals who deemed Huang to be sane which is the source of the sleepwalking theory.
As this theory suggests, Huang was sleepwalking when he made his way to Nanjing and that the stories of the two brothers were just dreams he had while sleepwalking. Various Chinese netizens don't view this theory as credible since Huang while sleepwalking would need to either walk all the way to the train station in Handan (which would take 4 hours to drive to by car) and buy a tick with money he didn't have all while asleep. And while still sleeping once the train stopped in Zhengzhou he would've sleepwalked onto the next train to Shanghai all with nobody noticing he was sleepwalking and waking him up. Just to be sure though doctors performed an MRI scan of Huang's brain and the results came back normal.
The third theory is that Huang suffered from multiple personality disorder and that Gao Dengmin and Gao Yanjin were in fact Huang himself and that he just perceived them as different people due to his disorder. The Gao personalities are the ones that actually travel to the locations only for Huang's normal personality to take over once he arrives at the destination hence him waking up. This theory also states that Huang flying on their backs is actually just a fantasy of Huang Yanqiu's repressed personality. This theory doesn't stand up to scrutiny as various Mental Health officials have found Huang sane and that he would've shown signs of multiple personality disorder before and after the three incidents. This theory also wouldn't explain the short travel times and Lü Qingtang's wife and son also witnessing the two as separate people.
There is one more theory though it is from those who want to believe that it is all real and that Huang is telling the truth and that UFOs may be involved.
They looked further into Huang's claims to try and find any proof that he was in the cities mentioned during his third disappearance. According to one source when describing the weather they matched up with geological data at the time but this appears to be unconfirmed. A journalist went to the Chang'an Grand Theater in Beijing to look through their records and see if they ever held the same performance Huang claimed to have seen.
He discovered that the theatre closed due to the 1976 Tangshan Earthquake and wouldn't reopen until 1979 meaning that Huang could not have seen any performances in that theatre. However, there was another theatre nearby named the Jixiang Theater and they were open in 1977 and on September 21, 1977, the day Huang claimed to be in Beijing they held a performance of
Forced Onto Mt. Liang. This journalist ruled that Huang hailing from a small and rural village could've easily confused two nearby and similar theatres in an unfamiliar environment such as the major city of Beijing.
There are also those who agree that Huang travelled at nearly supersonic speeds but instead have a more terrestrial explanation and that Huang fell victim to military experimentation.
This theory states that the military flew Huang to these cities for various experiments and that the Gao brothers were high-ranking officials in charge of the experiments. They then drugged Huang and made him undergo hypnosis to make him forget what he experienced. Many are skeptical of this theory because if the Chinese government wanted to conduct human experimentation they had a myriad of death row inmates and political prisons to draw upon so why instead abduct an innocuous rural farmer from his small village?
"The Huang Yanqiu Incident" remains one of China's most infamous unsolved mysteries but as of now, there have been no new developments as a now 67-year-old Huang has opted to live a quiet life in his village away from the cameras. The last bit of news from Huang came from 2008 when he underwent another round of mental evaluations

Letters of Recommendation I waived my rights via FERPA so I’m just guessing here.
English Teacher (7/10): Had her for both junior and senior year, had a pretty good relationship with her in class and always did my work- nothing extraordinary. She's a good writer though, so I trust her letter!
Bio Teacher (6/10): TBH only really chose her because I thought you needed one STEM and one humanities rec for every school. She definitely saw my academic side (I pestered her a lot about my Bio IA...) but beyond that I'm not sure...
Counselor (7/10): Didn't really know counselor too well, but I filled out her worksheet pretty thoroughly. She also asked for some of my other teachers to give her insight, so I had my IB Music and my orchestra director give her more info about me from a different point of view. She has lots of experience writing letters so I'm sure she was able to put together a good letter from all of the info she got from me and other teachers.
Interviews Georgetown (6/10): my first interview, it was in-person and in the interviewer's office. Needless to say, I was terrified and spent 5 minutes in my parent's car just doing last-minute rehearsing before actually getting out. It went OK- it was decent for a first interview, but I think I rambled a bit too much about my academic self and didn't really get into my personality/hobbies and what really made me, me. Interviewer's interests didn't really line up with mine beyond academics so thats what we naturally focused about. It was a solid hour, but very chill in the end (I shouldn't have been that stressed lol).
Princeton (7/10): Was much more prepared for this interview. It was virtual, and lasted like 40 minutes. She asked me a few questions- I think I was definitely able to express and articulate myself a lot better compared to my Georgetown one, but I'm afraid I was thrown a bit off guard about the "Why Princeton/major" question she asked me and so my answer for that wasn't as perfect. Otherwise, I spent the last like 10-15 minutes asking her about Princeton stuff. It was a standard interview.
Columbia/Sciences Po Dual Degree Program (9/10): this interview was definitely my best interview by far because I was hella stressed for it, so I researched as much as I could about it- I really demonstrated my interest in Asian politics through specific examples, and I was well-articulated about why I wanted to attend not one, but two prestigious schools in the span of 4 years (and like, why France specifically). The Sciences Po admissions officer was having some connectivity issues but besides that it was a very solid interview.
Franklin and Marshall (9/10): It was with a current, international student, and we basically bonded over wanting new experiences in college and like this idea of college in general. He said that I was one of his favorite interviewees so that was nice?? Got to ask him a lot about the school and I was very passionate in my answers, much more chill than Georgetown/Princeton ones (tbh those top-schools kinda psyched me out...)
Wesleyan (7/10): I can't really remember what went down in this one tbh. At this point senioritis was kicking in and everything was mostly a blur LMFAO.
Essays My CommonApp essay was... probably not the best. Topic was kind of basic, and the writing was meh. Unfortunately, I didn't really have time to edit it, because I got super busy with MUN things in the fall + senioritis hit early... so I really tried to perfect my supps. It was still a solid essay overall and I liked it, but I wish I started brainstorming about it earlier so I could've found a more niche idea/used some of the ideas I had in my supps for this main essay. Definitely should've done my dream school applications (ie, Georgetown) last instead of first since I naturally got so much better over time. Don't underestimate how your writing ability can skyrocket in the span of 5 months!!
Decisions (indicate ED/EA/REA/SCEA/RD) Acceptances: - COLUMBIA/SCIENCES PO DUAL-DEGREE PROGRAM!! (RD)
- WashU in St. Louis (RD) (holy shit this one spooked me, I only applied bc I got a fee waiver, I did submit the video though but didn't do an interview)
- George Washington University (20k/year Presidential Scholarship) (RD)
- William and Mary (RD) (got a likely too!)
- UC Irvine (RD)
- Franklin and Marshall College (15k/year Leadership Scholarship + Program) (RD)
- University of Wisconsin-Madison (EA)
- Whitman College (RD)
- UW Seattle (RD)
- Temple University (Honors Program/Scholarship) (Rolling)
- Arizona State University (Rolling)
Waitlists: - Wesleyan University (RD Waitlist)
- Boston University (RD Waitlist)
- American University (RD Waitlist) (this one stung ;-;)
- UC Berkeley (RD —> Waitlist)
- UMich (EA —> Defer —> Waitlist)
Rejections: - Northeastern University (EA Deferred Rejected)
- UCLA (RD Rejected)
- Georgetown (EA —> defer —> rejected)
- Princeton (RD —> rejected)
- University of Maryland (RD —> Rejected)
Additional Information: This whole journey has definitely been a process. I came into the college app process thinking I had a solid chance at schools like Georgetown, Boston U, and Northeastern, with UPenn as a hard reach. I ended up not even applying to UPenn and getting rejected from Georgetown, BU, and NEU, but got some amazing acceptances that came really out of the blue (still reeling over WashU.... like I applied on a whim???).
I do really regret applying to all of the OOS public schools that I did- especially the UCs- since I can't afford OOS tuition, but I think overall my list was rather balanced. Seeing all of those reaches reject me stung (Georgetown sent me on an emotional rollercoaster and my heart dropped when I found out that BU had a 10% acceptance rate this year) but all it takes is one reach for there to be success! I'm most likely going to end up committing to Columbia/Science Po (top school in France AND in US??? Hell yeah!), but all in all I'm so glad that this process is finally over <3 going to take a long fucking nap.

2023.04.01 06:01 itzibitzi55 Green Card vs BCP and Costco Citi on Travel/Travel
To simplify the following conversation let’s assume that 3 MR that the Green Card gives on travel/transit is equivalent to 3% cash-back that other cards give. I know that this isn’t true, some people value 1 MR = 2 cents etc., but some people value cash-back more, so to keep things simple let’s pretend they’re roughly the same.
I currently hold a BCP and a Costco Citi that I use for my travel and transit categories:
- Costco Citi gets 3% on travel: hotels, flights, rental cars; BCP gives 1% here.
- BCP gives 3% on transit: trains, buses, tolls, parking, taxis, UbeLyft; Costco Visa gives 1% here.
- When travelling internationally, Costco Citi has an edge because there’s no FTF; BCP has a 2.7% FTF, so even on transit, the foreign fee pretty much negates the earn.
Is there a transit or travel category where the Green Card would earn 3 MR, but BCP and Costco Citi would earn 1%, yielding a huge advantage for the Green? The only situation I can think of would be transit internationally (like a train ticket in Europe), where Green Card would earn 3 MR, but Costco only 1%, while BCP is 0.3% after FTF. Any others?

2023.04.01 05:31 Luna_Senshu Batman Begins.
Batman begins. Once upon a time there was a young man named Batman, then his parents got dead, and then Batman got pissed off. So he fucked off to Princeton. Then, he fucked off to China to learn to be a ninja 'cause his parents were dead. Batman then went back home to Earth and said "I will become Batman" and then he became BatMAN. Then Batman dicked around for a minute. And then Batman said I need a Bat-fuckmobile and Morgan Freeman said no fuck you you're getting a tank because you suck dicks and germs killed the martians. So then Batman fucked around for a bit and then there was this fucker with a potato sack and he said fuck you. And Batman said no, fuck YOU. And then Batman made him get dumb. Then there was a ninja on a train and he said everyone in this city is a dickbutt! Then Batman said enjoy your choo choo train to dickfuck town. And then everybody died. Especially Heath Ledger. The end.

2023.04.01 04:26 2271 How do I handle a service engine light 500 miles from home in a sparse area?
Hello,
I am in gatlinburg Tennessee right now and live in Nashville. On the way over here we had our service engine light turn on. (Jeep Cherokee 2014) It briefly flashed “service airbags” but that went away. We pulled over to talk about what to do. When we turned the car back on, no service light. We crossed our fingers and went on with our vacation. A day later, the service light comes on again, and this time flashes every service warning I can think of. Transmission, airbags, 4wd, etc. We pulled over again, this time the engine would just shudder once and not turn on. We ordered a tow truck, half an hour later the car turned on with just the engine light on. We decided to risk it and drive the last for miles to our hotel. We have the hotel until Sunday and the closest mechanic open Saturday is 200 miles away in Knoxville. We have roadside assistance through usaa. Should we tow it all the way to knowville tomorrow? Or should we risk driving it all the way to Tennessee? Or should we try to sell it in some insanely fast way and try and buy a car just as quickly? More information, the car has 123000 miles, just had its power train module replaced about a year ago, is probably worth 4 or 5k. I know this is a strange situation. What would you do about it?
Edit: it is automatic

2023.03.31 23:38 Ryou_Shiki Itinerary Check: 7 days, Large Family Trip, First Time in Japan
I'm going with my family (6 people- 2 teens; 2 children; 4 adults) to Japan- none of us know the language (me and the other teen probably the most, but our knowledge just comes from extensive anime watch-time), and the itinerary itself was created by mostly me, with the base and dates provided by one of the adults- outside of us two, no one provided any commentary on any places they would like to go (we started planning this trip ~3 months ago, in celebration of my birthday), so I just decided to fill it with places I thought they would like, as well as filling off the checklist for places I would like to go as well. Some days aren't really filled out that well, so I'd like recommendations on that, as well as places that might need tickets or will be hard for people with minimal knowledge of the language.
Itinerary: Day 1: Tokyo
- Get cash from international atm, as well as Suica Card
- (Depending on hunger) Hotel food
- Shibuya Crossing (We view it from Starbucks QFront because I don’t know how complicated it’ll be to use rail)
- Pokemon Center Shibuya (150-8377Shibuya15-1 Udagawacho, Shibuya Parco 6F)
- Dinner - local food as it’s too far
- Order: Hotel -> Yoyogi Park (32 minute walk to save money) -> QFront Building to see Shibuya Crossing (walk from Yoyogi to QFront which on google maps says its ~10 min) -> Radio Eva Store (walk from QFront to Radio Eva which is also ~10 min) (which is in the same location as Pokemon Center Shibuya -> Pokemon Center Shibuya (walk from Radio Eva to Pokemon because same location) (same store as Radio Eva, but Radio Eva is first because it’s on 5th floor, while Pokemon Center is on 6th floor) -> Local Food-> Azuki to Kouri (near Hotel) -> walk + drive back to Hotel to save money (~20 minute walk)
- Day 2: Tokyo
- Micasadeco & Cafe - Pancakes or Hotel Food (Orange for Hotel Food, blue for Pancakes)
- Tokyo Sea life Park
- TeamLab Planets
- Dinner - Local or Hotel (depending on time and hunger)
- Order: Walk from hotel to xyz (just follow GM directions) then board and transfer to Tokyo Life Sea Park (which is in Tokyo Disney, so might need some sort of reservation), then train to Team Lab Planets, buy local dinner, then ride back to hotel
- Order: Walk from hotel to xyz station, board and transfer (just follow GM info) to Pancakes, basically repeat process for getting to Tokyo Disney and TeamLab Planets + Dinner
- Note: Tokyo Disney will probably have a lot of merch for the kids, so be prepared to spend
- Day 3: Tokyo
- Hotel Food
- Tokyo Skytree
- Yayoi Kusama Museum
- Senso Ji Temple
- Kyu Asakura House
- Dinner - Kappabashi Street
- Order: Hotel -> Museum -> Kyu Asakura House -> Precure Store in First Avenue Tokyo Station (magical girl anime, don’t question why I want merch for it) -> Senso Ji Temple -> Tokyo Skytree -> Kappabashi Dougu Street
- Day 4: Tokyo
- Chartered Mt. Fuji
- Chartered Car to mt. Fuji
- Lake Yamanaka
- Onshi Hakone Park
- Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park
- MOA Museum of Art

- Similarly to Disney Tokyo, this will probably one of the main places for merch, so be prepared to spend
- Day 6: Tokyo
- Hotel Food
- Isetan - Shopping Store
- Oedo Antique Market (Tokyo International Forum, 3 Chome-5-1 Marunouchi, Chiyoda City, Tokyo 100-0005, Japan is the location I found for it but it doesn’t match up with what google maps puts when I search it)
- Gundam Factory Yokohama (tickets recommended for optimal viewing)
- HardOff (HARD OFF KICHIJOJI, アソルティ吉祥寺エスト 1F 1 Chome-4-27 Kichijoji Higashicho, Musashino, Tokyo 180-0002, Japan)

2023.03.31 23:30 theforcereview Street Pimping 101
The track. The blade. The stroll. Whatever you call it, if you work a medium to large-sized city, there’s probably a place where the prostitutes congregate. I’m going to talk about some of the basic principles involved in street pimping and prostitution. After that, I will give you the method I used to arrest 9 pimps within a span of 4 months as a uniformed patrol officer.
How Pimping Works In my experience, most pimps manage about 3-6 girls. Some certainly have more than that. I have read that some have up to 20, but I’ve never come across that personally. Step 1 for the pimp is to find a girl to work for him. Pimps usually have good social skills so they meet a lot of people and go to a lot of parties and things like that. They also meet girls on social media. They also steal girls from other pimps and target girls who are already prostitutes, but don’t have pimps.
Certain characteristics of girls make them more susceptible to becoming victimized by a pimp. They usually have little to no family support. Many are runaways. Many have mental health problems. Many are homeless. The pimp offers attention and stability to girls in these types of situations.
Pimps don’t usually pay their girls. During one of my first investigations, I asked one of the girls about the percentage of her earnings she got to keep. The question confused her. I had to ask it several different ways before I got an answer. And her answer was, “Nothing.” So I asked her why she had a pimp. What did he do for her? She replied that he bought the dress she was wearing and paid for her hairdo.
I was shocked. The girl did all that work and got no cut of the profits. But I came to find out that the pimp uses this as a form of control. He doesn’t let his girls keep any money. Instead, he will pay for all their needs: apartment, food, clothing, makeup, transportation, and so on. In this way, the girl becomes dependent on the pimp, and it will be harder to escape him.
Speaking of control. A pimp who controls his prostitute is keeping her “in pocket.” Pimps use various methods to control their girls. Some pimps use physical violence to keep them in line. Some use various levels of affection. No two pimps are the same and all have their own style and level of control. Some hold much tighter control than others. Some pimps will threaten to kill their girls if they try to escape. Some have actually done it. Some will let them go without a fight.
Some pimps have a monetary quota for their girls every night. A common quota is $1000 per night. I spoke to one girl who told me that if she didn’t meet her quota for the night, her pimp would drive her to a “day track” and she would have to keep working until she met the quota.
A pimp with multiple girls usually has a main girl. This girl is called the “bottom bitch.” I hate all the terminology involved in pimping, but I probably hate that term most of all. I’m hesitant to write down these terms because they’re so vulgar, but I think it’s important to not shy away from the truth of this industry. The more people who know about how despicable it all is, the better.
Anyway, the main girl is sometimes the pimp’s girlfriend. Or at least he tells her that’s what she is. He’ll have sex with her and treat her better than the other girls. The main girl will train new girls and help the pimp manage all the girls. The girls often all live together in one house or apartment, so there is all sorts of drama that the main girl helps control.
I’ve come across two main girls who were so involved in the process of managing and controlling the other girls, that they got arrested as well as the pimp. I arrested one girl for pandering. In my state, pandering is a felony and it’s basically assisting with the act of prostitution. The other main girl was arrested for human trafficking. That case wasn’t mine, but it involved a victim who was kidnapped and forced to be a prostitute at gunpoint. And the main girl was so involved, she was almost as guilty as the pimp. The pimp in that case got over 200 years in prison. The main girl took a deal and got 5 years if I remember correctly.
The pimp usually drives the girls to the track himself. Remember, he likes to keep tight control of his girls, so he doesn’t like them to have access to a car. So he drives them there, drops them off, and usually waits somewhere nearby in the car. The girls walk the track and try to attract customers (Johns).
While the girls are walking the track, they will update the pimp on their activities. They may have a certain timeframe in which they are required to check in (every 15 minutes, half-hour, or whatever). They’ll usually update their pimp through a messaging application or with a call. They’ll almost certainly update their pimp whenever they have a “date.”
When a John picks up a prostitute, he will drive her somewhere away from the track to a more secluded spot. I use the term secluded loosely here. They may still be in a residential neighborhood. The girl and the John exchange money for sex. That is called a “date.” The John then drives the girl back to the track and she looks for another date.
Girls charge varying amounts of money for their services. I’ve seen prices range from $40 to $200. I’d say about $100 to $120 is probably more common. Prices are based on the specific service provided as well as how appealing the girl is to the John. Girls almost always make their customers wear a condom. If somehow the customer gets the girl to agree to not use a condom, that will drive the price up significantly.
When the girl is finished with a date, she will probably notify her pimp. Pimps will usually collect the proceeds throughout the night. Sometimes they will collect the money after every date. They collect the money periodically because they don’t want the girl to get robbed and they also want to limit the girl’s access to money. Every time the pimp contacts the prostitute, it’s a risk for him. He’s exposing himself to identification as a pimp.
Pimps will take their girls to different tracks. I’ve arrested pimps who lived thousands of miles away from my city.
When the night is over, the pimp will pick up the girls and take them back home or back to their motel. Like I said, the pimp could be thousands of miles away from home. In this case, he’ll probably work that particular track for a few days while staying in a motel. Special events that attract large numbers of people to a particular city (sporting events, car conventions, ect.) sometimes dictate a pimp’s choice of a particular time and location to set up shop.
How to Arrest a Pimp Several years ago, I was assigned to the section of my city that contained the area where the prostitutes congregated. Like I said earlier, this area is known as, “The Track.” The other terms I’ve heard are “The Blade” and “The Ho Stroll.”
I knew nothing about pimping or prostitution at the time and I had little interest in it. I also worked the day shift so I never thought I’d be enforcing pimping or prostitution. But my partner and I were pretty proactive. We shook the bushes and turned over rocks at every opportunity.
Like most cops, we used the pretext stop as the primary tool of our observation arrests. That is, we stopped people for minor violations in search of more serious criminal behavior. And we were always looking for ways to improve our odds.
One day, I noticed that there were still several prostitutes walking around at the beginning of my shift. I figured that stopping a car who picked up a prostitute would be a good stop. I wasn’t really interested in arresting a John because that crime is just a misdemeanor in my state, and I was mainly interested in felonies. However, I figured that stopping guys who picked up prostitutes would improve our chances of finding guys with dope or guns or whatever.
So I picked out one of the girls and I went inside a restaurant and watched her through the window. After a few minutes, a car pulled up and picked her up. I notified my partner of the activity and he made a traffic stop on the car.
The occupants of the car weren’t what I expected. Instead of one guy, there were two. And upon a search of the car, we found several items that belonged to the girl, including her ID, which was in the driver’s door pocket. These guys definitely weren’t customers. We also found a gun in the glove box.
So that’s how we made our first pimping arrest. Of course, we had little idea of how to put the case together. We had to call an experienced vice officer (in the early morning hours on the weekend) to figure it out, but we did figure it out eventually. The pimp’s name was “Magic” (pimps always have nicknames like that) and he ended up pleading to a 5-year suspended sentence.
After that first stop, we devised a system. Here it is:
- Identify a prostitute on the track. They can be identified by their clothing (provocative, especially if it’s in contrast to the weather), lack of destination (they just walk around from one corner to another and back again), and interest in passing vehicles (especially vehicles with a solo male occupant).
- Build a prostitution case against the girl. Watch her for a bit. Build reasonable suspicion for an investigatory detention based on the indicators in step 1. Check your local statutes. At the time, we had a statute for loitering with the intent to conduct prostitution.
- Detain the girl. Get her information. Try to get her to admit she’s there for the purposes of prostitution. Tell her you’re going to let her off with a warning, but tell her it’s time for her to go home.
- Let the girl go and conduct surveillance on her. It’s not easy to do in full uniform while driving a marked police car, but it can be done. The next car to pick her up will probably be her pimp, especially if it’s 5 or 6 in the morning. The pimp is going to know that you’ve identified his girl as a prostitute, and he doesn’t want her getting arrested. If it’s late in their shift, they are probably ready to call it a night anyway.
- Stop the next car that picks her up. If you can get a traffic violation or equipment violation on the car, that’s good, but not necessary. If your observations in step 1 are solid and your conversation in step 3 went well, you already have reasonable suspicion to make the stop. Remember, pimps must keep tight control of their girls. They take them to and from the track. So logically, who is going to pick them up when their shift is over? My partner and I made 10 traffic stops over 4 months using this method. We made 9 arrests for either pimping or human trafficking. The pimps picked them up 90% of the time. Only one girl got picked up by an Uber. Not one girl had the keys to her own car.
- Detain all the occupants of the car in separate patrol cars. Move the pimp out of eyesight of the girls.
- Talk to the girls separately. Have a speech prepared. It should start with something like, “My name is Officer SoandSo. I care about you. You do not deserve to be treated like this…” Try to get the girl to admit that she is a prostitute, and the guy is her pimp. This is not easy to do, but it can be done. Social interactions with suspects are not my strongest area as a cop, but I got about 50% of the girls to cooperate.
- Try to get the girl to consent to a search of her phone. Search the calls and text messages and see if she’s been communicating with her pimp all night. Do not let her have control of her phone. I learned this lesson the hard way when I let a girl unlock her phone for me. She unlocked it alright. She proceeded to delete the entire text message thread between her and her pimp before I could snatch the phone back.
- Collect your evidence. Evidence of pimping will consist of cell phones, condoms, motel keycards, clothing, victim’s ID (Where the ID is located is key. Pimps will usually control the victim’s ID to frustrate cops and control the victim), money, and firearms.
- Interview your suspect. I didn’t get a single confession from a pimp. They are notoriously difficult to deal with. However, they are going to give you some BS story about how the girl is his friend and she called him to pick her up because she got stranded somehow. If you can show that their story is BS through your investigation, it will help.
- Make an arrest decision. The two most important pieces of evidence in pimping cases are the victim’s cooperation and cell phone text messages. All of my arrests had at least one of those two pieces of evidence. I had to let one guy go because in that case, I had neither.
Notes When searching the victim’s phone, I would set both the victim’s phone and the suspect’s phone on the hood of my car, side by side. I would use the victim’s phone to call the suspect’s phone. When the victim’s caller ID popped up on the suspect’s phone, this would prove that the pimp was in possession of the phone that had been communicating with the prostitute all night.
“Daddy,” or some variation thereof, is a common name a prostitute will use for her pimp. The contact in her phone will sometimes contain this terminology.
Pimps will sometimes require their girls to get tattoos with the pimp’s nickname. This is another form of control. It also demonstrates ownership of the girl to stop other pimps from stealing her.
See if your city or county offers resources for the victims. Sometimes they can provide cell phones, bus tickets, food, lodging, ect, for the girls. The cell phone is key because the girls get very upset when you confiscate their phones as evidence.
Treat the girls with dignity and respect. Don’t sit them on the curb. Have them stand or put them in the back seat of a patrol car. They don’t need another male asshole in their life talking down to them.
Almost all street prostitutes have a pimp. Like I said, I conducted surveillance on 10 girls and only one got into an Uber. I suspect she had a pimp as well, but he was more savvy than the others. That being said, a prostitute without a pimp is called a “renegade.”
If you detain a prostitute who is under 18, don’t let her go. My state has a statute in which we can detain her for her own safety and transport her to a county facility for resources. Try to get her cooperation to identify her pimp and confiscate her phone as evidence. You probably won’t be able to make this arrest as a patrol officer, but your vice unit should work up a case like that right away. In my state, pimping a girl under 18 is human trafficking, a crime punishable by up to life in prison.
Check the girls for bruises. I made a traffic stop once and both girls were all beat up. They initially told me they got into a fight with each other. Eventually they admitted their pimp was beating them up. Pimping through force or violence is also human trafficking in my state.
Ask the girl about how and when she met the pimp. Just because she’s over 18 now, doesn’t mean she was 18 when she started being pimped out. If she was under 18 when it started, then you have a human trafficking case.
When searching the phones, look for text messages demonstrating that the girl is updating the pimp on her dates. They usually have to text after every date. I remember one girl just texted, “Date” like every 20 minutes for a while. Then the texts became just, “D”. Texts containing dollar amounts are also good. The girls will tell the pimps how much they just charged or how much they have on them, ect.
Like I said earlier, condoms are a good piece of evidence. I opened a glove box once and like 200 condoms just poured out. I’m pretty sure a girl out simply for a night on the town doesn’t need that many.
I also mentioned clothing earlier as sources of evidence. I often found that the pimp’s car was full of women’s clothing. It’s certainly not the smoking gun, but it’s another piece of evidence. You don’t need to book it all. Just take some photos or record it on your BWC.
There are internet sites where prostitutes advertise. When I was making these arrests, the site was called “Backpage.” I believe that site got shut down, but there’s probably another that’s take its place. I think the new one may be called “spotlight” or something like that. If you google the girl’s phone number, sometimes their ad will pop up. Just another piece of evidence.
Find out if the pimp is having a sexual relationship with the girl. In one of my human trafficking cases, the pimp was having sex with an underage girl. Obviously, this added additional charges.
Obviously, use caution when dealing with the pimps. Two pimps I arrested had guns. One led me on a pretty crazy pursuit. After he crashed, he kept reaching under his seat. Later, when we searched his car, we found a gun under the seat. I believe he wanted to have a shootout, but he just couldn’t find the gun under the seat. It had probably shifted due to the crash.
Pimps often have rental cars. Like I said earlier, sometimes they fly into the area for a few days, then go back home.
Like the title says, this post only covers street pimping. There are other facets to pimping/prostitution such as hotel pimping/prostitution. In such cases, girls work out of a hotel room and customers come to the room, exchange money for sex, and then leave.
Remember, if you are trying to arrest a pimp, the prostitutes are victims. Treat them accordingly.
Be prepared to have some patience when dealing with the girls. They are not easy to deal with and they will not appreciate your efforts.
I did not learn the information in this post by reading a book or watching a documentary. I didn’t even learn this stuff by going to training. All of the above information was gained through experience on the street. Almost all my reddit posts contain information that I have learned from experience, rather than in a classroom. That’s why my posts do not contain fluff or irrelevant information.
I also have a YouTube channel which provides real lessons on policing. If you liked this post, please check out my channel and subscribe. I spend a significant amount of time on this stuff so I would appreciate it. Go to my profile and you can find the link from there. I'm also going to be posting some of my own body worn camera footage to my channel soon, so subscribe if you want to get that. Thank you.
