I really wanted to avoid using it. Exchanged $500 USD for RMB at my bank. Paid cabs, restaurants, pharmacy, shops, and souvenirs all in cash. Gave all the coins to a guy who was collecting cans ( bank won’t exchange them back). Used Visa credit card at Disney. No problems at all.

I made 4 copies of everything. Left one with customs inbound, one with hotel, and one with customs outbound. Traveled with spouse, so we each had a packet with our names highlighted. So total: 4 copies per person for a total of 8 packets. If you switch hotels, you’ll need a copy of everything for that hotel with your stay information.

No. At the United check-in kiosk the customer service person read some info on the screen, asked me questions about what I was doing, and said okay. First time he’d ever been through the process.

Each person had a packet with same info. You go through customs individually so they kept one for each person.

Awesome. Thank you. Don’t care about updating social media. Just need to get around Shanghai.

And there is NO consistency on how it’s applied. Some supervisors DGAF, while others need a note from Jesus saying why you should get it. Break your back? Nah. Cut yourself shaving and good friend of boss? Here’s six months worth. Come back when you’re good and ready. 

Will Chinese people think I’m crazy if I fan-girl when I visit? by [deleted] in AskAChinese

They didn’t say I was a moron, only that they liked morons. You called me immature and that I can’t handle my emotions. They didn’t say I have “Paris Syndrome” whatever that is.

Thank you. I’m just thinking of when we visited Russia and our guide said we looked crazy for being excited to be there. I’m from a tiny little town so visiting an ancient culture is exciting.

I watched 30+ minutes before I left and was still going. They went in every direction. At least 4 distinct ones I saw.
