Have them stick it on as accompaniment to the transliteration they write on the form.

Send them your address in Chinese characters by email printed as if on a label, have them print out what you send & then glue it onto envelope. More reliable than transliteration to pinyin.

I've taken easily 100 trips by train in China. ONCE, only, years ago, at the Kunming train station, the guy at the barrier tried to take away my Swiss army knife (I'd had it in my pocket). It has sentimental value, as well as being a damn good knife, and I refused, told him if I couldn't keep it I wouldn't take the train. He told me quietly just to stuff it in the bottom of the bag and then let me through.
The guys doing the checking had a large pile of pocket knives they'd confiscated in a basket - I think perhaps they did well for themselves.
Note that this was not the Metro.

Guy at the store maybe incompetent? I got a Nokia here 2nd hand about 10 years ago that lets me message in either simplified Chinese, fantizi or English, with settings in either English or Chinese.

I'm not a health foody but the few meals I've had here have been really good and, yeah, I'll be happy to go back alone to sample all the rest of them. It's also not a bad place from which to people-watch the street below.

Posted byVery glad to hear of this. I won't be able to participate personally, as I'll be out of China at the time, but I encourage everybody else to (I hope that does't sound lame). Maybe there's some other way I can help out?
Migrant workers receive bricks in lieu of pay

Posted byYou pay your workers FIRST - only then do you look for money to pay other debts.
Migrant workers receive bricks in lieu of pay
Posted byAnother reason to allow ALL workers to become trade union members, with none of the bullshit about migrants from rural areas not really being 'workers' because their id cards say they are farmers. Much of china's economic 'success' has been built on the backs of such people - yeah, but...Whose success was that now?
