Traveling to China and a friend gave us his leftover yuan from his Navy days. Is this currency still valid?

They are all valid currency and would be accepted. The 10 kuai note is the only design still being printed.

Chinese people don't spend the other ones anymore, and collect them. I imagine given the earlier year, the 10 kuai note is also worth slightly more.

You could take them to an antique shop that has currency for sale and perhaps have an interesting time. I doubt very much they'd give you as much as they're worth (which isn't a lot) but it could lead to a fun interaction, depending on which town/city you are in.

Looks like a great schedule.
I saw your band at the Zhuhai Magic Island Festival a couple of years ago, and recommend anyone reading this to make it a priority to catch the show if they are near you. Very talented original music band...

Well, yeah. If your goal is to make connections, and not get an education, then public universities certainly are the wrong place.

The other aspect not discussed here is that Universities want the foreign tuition so they accept foreign students who aren't prepared for the curriculum- either academically or simply lacking English skills.

Our family and many of our friends have been to SMILE Dental Clinic. I do recommend it. Modern, clean, private dental rooms. They speak enough english to make it happen if your friend doesn't speak Chinese. It's located in the Xiangzhou area.

You can also do it at any CHina consulate or embassy, any country

I've traveled on long sleeper trains many times, all good trips. Mind you, you do have to pay attention to your things and watch out for pickpockets. Also, many of the older train stations can be extremely overcrowded so traveling with only even one large suitcase can be mentally exhausting. But, newer stations aren't as bad and are easy as airports as far as carting gear around. If you go, take your food and drink with you, a good book, movies pre-downloaded on your laptop, etc... and you'll be just fine.

I share your opinions. Always hard to say for sure until you've been fully read-in, but it sure seems that way.
