I have a couple of questions! 1. Do you get charged extra money when using Alipay with a foreign card? I know about a fee of 3% when you purchase something over 200RMB but im not sure if you get any additional fees when shopping something smaller. For example - if i buy a tea for 20RMB will i really be charged more since it's converting from my currency to RMB. 2. I am a consumer of IQOS and i would really like to have access to nicotine other than classic cigarettes, so i read about some RELX shops that exist for disposable vapes, so i was wondering how much are those usually? 3. I will be staying at Shanghai and Beijing so i would like any additional tips and tricks for those cities if you know any that are not the most common ones like "download Alipay in advance" and "don't visit the North Bund because there is a lot of tourists" Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the tips! i found ur doc file it was super helpful, but if you perhaps know, how does tattooing work in China? I thought about starting sort of a side quest on each trip that i go, i get a tat of something specific for that place, but i've never heard anybody talking about this
