    With so many absolute beginners on the team, Kunming Flying Tigers performed in a way which surprised everyone - - especially the Chengdu Pandas. The Pandas were actually lucky to come away with a win. Great start for the Flying Tigers!!

    Best team sport in the world. And the after-match "piss-up" at O'Reilly's will likely be as interesting as the game.

    Y'all Come!!

    AlPage is correct. The US50,000 limit is per person. But there are other regulations. We transferred US100,000 to my wife's acct here in China with the goal to transfer half of it to an acct in my name and then change to RMB. However, there is also a regulation as to how much can be changed from one acct to another. We had to transfer the entire amt back to the US and then transfer 50,000 back to each separate acct. We were also buying property and had to use that money for that (plus some $ transferred directly to real estate agent) Then we had to transfer some $ to a "friend" to use for living expenses. It is convoluted - - but usually a way to get done what you need to get done.

    Plus additional regulations re taxes in your home country!!!

    WOW!!!!

    Hi - - I had a question asked on private e-mail - - but for some reason wasn't able to answer. Rumors abound about e-bike registrations. The one true fact is that there are enormous lines at the registration place. One rumor is that the "north" registration place does not do the service for foreigners! I don't know!! A friend (foreigner) said he went to local police station and could not find out any info. Same guy said he had been stopped two days earlier by traffic police for riding double on scooter and fined 20 kuai. Again - - don't know. Looks like we really need a "rumor control."
