MLNL.HOST has straight line for services not labeled "no China bandwidth", open for millennials only.
HostHatch and GreenCloud don't have straight line, avoid.
Translation: "straight line" in MJJ-English means "direct connection without going through Japan or USA".
Your profile picture looks Asian.I guess it's Chinese.

This picture was taken at Shanghai EXPO 2010.
OK admit it, you were just there for the food!
Food vendors at Shanghai EXPO 2010 are expected to charge prices comparable to city center:
Gift cards and coupons are not accepted at the food vendors.
List price is 30% higher than similar products sold in suburban area that my family lives.
Hence, I cannot afford much food there.
It's premitted to bring solid foods for personal consumption.
Hence, before each visit, I go to the bakery and buy 6 cupcakes for ¥18 on the gift card.
I visited Shanghai EXPO 2010 ten times.
Admission ticket costs ¥160 per person from official ticket booth, or ¥100~150 from big yellow cows, but I never paid this price.
Each residential address in Shanghai receives one free ticket (restricted to one particular month), and I used two of them.
My mother received a dozen free tickets from her workplace, and I used seven.
I purchased one ticket from a bus tour operator for ¥180.
It includes bus transportation and more importantly a guaranteed admission into China pavilion, which otherwise requires waiting 3 hours outside the gate.
I got the money by selling a normal ticket for ¥160 cash to a colleague who doesn't want to wait in line at a ticket booth or risk buying a fake ticket from big yellow cow.
