This is a great help. Thanks!

I'm not so crazy about Pu'er tea and wanted to pick up some really fresh Mao Feng (Mao's eyebrows!) or Tiger Tooth tea. Any recommendations as to a tea shop with a nice variety where I won't get ripped off? Thanks!

Need some help here. Sto, sf, stand for?? I wonder if the main post office would have big bubble envelopes? There's nothing urgent about sending a dictionary, so Fedex or UPS seems an expensive option.

I ain't got no VPN so I guess I'll just try to pick up some pirated DVDs for 10 RMB, but where???? BTW, I thought that some cafés would let a laowai use the internet with a passport as ID. Thanks.

One of the American girls I was with got a half price admission with the photo student id, although this was viewed with much suspicion. It's always worth a try.

Wear good walking shoes. We had a sunny afternoon...so no slipping.

The amount of stair or uphill climbing is reasonable. I went mid-week, and didn't find it all that crowded.
