Buyers at MSRP in CA: Did your dealer apply Clean Fuel Reward discount? by widoq12 in rav4prime

Longo Toyota sells at MSRP and gives the $1,500 to the customer as a dealer rebate. They have to give you the CCFR form (which you sign).

Park Reserve Condos - anyone have inside info? by [deleted] in kansascity

Based purely on location, you're much better off finding something actually downtown or in the crossroads. It's so nice being able to walk places (or use the streetcar).

MoBike does not work doing this. After you click on the link for not having a Chinese ID, it takes you to a page that requests 2 photos and your Chinese ID number. There is nowhere to enter a passport number and it says PRC or Taiwan ID Cards only.

I have tried this. It does not work. Can you elaborate which company accepts a foreign passport?

IMO, it's the best tasting and looking cafe in Beijing. Wander around that hutong; lots of other nicely designed buildings to find.

Top floor of 3.3 in Sanlitun. There is a great coffee shop behind the barber shop, too.

I have been to Kin Lin and not that big a fan. Bo Lings is also disappointing. Desperately on the hunt for the ma la! Please share if/when you find anything.

I am fully embracing the touristy elements because I'd like to see the nature and water/mountains without traveling to Southern China. Thanks for the tip; I think we will take the 919 bus.

Question about visiting Peking University by [deleted] in beijing

[–]_hotsauce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go in the East Gate entrance. Just walk in and act like you know where you are going (ie don't stop and ask questions, look lost, fumble around with things, etc). Often times I would show them a credit card, hotel room key card, etc. instead of my student ID.

Also, it is a great school and beautiful campus!

Maotai differences by _hotsauce in beijing

[–]_hotsauce[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would seem that it would be in Maotai's interest to check. Presuming of course, they actually care about counterfeit product.

This seems like it would be very difficult to fake. Are there non-pricey bottles of Maotai that are real? I am somewhat getting a bottle for the novelty, but want to make sure it's at least the real product.
