@djtutolo: Assume you are referring to home countries where renting real estate brings in higher income than rents in China.

That is the tear-off portion of the form that the local PSB (i.e., the nearest cop station to where you are staying) creates; the tear-off is the part that you keep to show that you have registered. If you stay at a hotel or hostel you should not need to go to the local PSB to do this, as your registration at the hostel/hotel has records for the PSB to check, if they want to; if you don't live in a hostel or hotel then you simply have to go to your local PSB and register there directly, and in person (I think).
Just make sure you have evidence from the hostel that you are staying there when you go to the PSB visa office.

I don't know what registration form you are talking about, but hostels and hotels are required to keep track of all who stay in them so that the PSB or local cops can keep track of everybody. Highly unlikely that this is all going to be a big problem.

Not quite what you'd call a jumping place, but not bad at all for rather standard US-type meals, not overly expensive, and with a really good salad bar that's cheap, or free with most dinner dishes after 5:30PM. You can get a bottle of beer or even wine if you really want to, but I've never seen anybody do it - maybe that's just to take out. Chinese Christian run, and they hire people with physical disadvantages, who are pleasant and helpful. Frequented by foreign (mostly North American) Christians and Chinese Christians - was started by a Canadian couple associated with Bless China (previously, Project Grace), who are no longer here, but no religious pressure or any of that. Steaks are nothing special, and I avoid the Korean dishes, which I've had a few times but which did not impress me.

As a shop and bakery, it's very good bread at reasonable prices, of various kinds (Y18 for a good multigrain loaf that certainly weighs well over a pound. Other stuff too, like granola and oatmeal that is local, as well as imported things, including American cornflakes and so forth, which some people seem to require.

Large portions, seriously so with the pizza, which is Brooklyn/American style, I guess. Convivial, conversational, good place to drink with good folks on both sides of the bar, especially after about 9PM.

Really good pizza and steaks. The wine machine fuddles me when I'm a bit fuddled, & seems unnecessary. Good folks on both sides of the bar.
