I'm wondering if anyone can tell me how to obtain an RMB denominated POSTAL money order from America?
Ideally it would be from China Post, but I'm struggling to find an online method of buying this kind of money order.
What I'm trying to do is pay a company in Beijing to certify my Chinese transcript. They only accept postal money orders, and wouldn't mess with Western Union. (Should have done this BEFORE I left China.) Any help would be greatly appreciated!
More about the internet bar. The problem has more to do with the inexperience of the staff in dealing with foreigners than anything else. The trick is to find a helpful person who will allow you to help them run the data-entry on their computer for a minute (read -'let me see the screen'). I had no problem getting a net-card registered to me, once the 'foreign passport' tab was selected.
Not 100% successful, though. Tried helping some foreign friends do the same later, with the same helpful locals, but the computer system didn't like the info that time.
I've only been there once, but the food seemed decent, and the yak-butter tea did not come with any of the retching afterwards which is often associated with the brew...
I've been going to their shop occasionally (whenever I need a major repair/overhaul) since 10 years ago. To sum it up, they treat their customers' bikes like their own! Great care and attention to detail combined with professional skills equals a great bike shop.

发布者Does this museum replace the old provincial museum on Dong Feng Lu? If so, does anyone know what will happen to that place?
