I've been hearing that the Chinese government is going to change Visa regulations. I am currently trying to re-register, does anybody know what is going on?
I've come to depend on peer to peer downloads for music and movies and suddenly yesterday, the bit torrent download didn't function. Are these things getting censored like rapidshare and megaupload a couple of years ago?
I've used the BoC cards with the unionpay, but the ATM will charge about 2% fee, it worked Nha Trang, Hanoi, Saigon, Hue.
Pu Zhe Hei (next to Quibei) is much easier to reach than Dali/Lijiang and less developed.
You can use a Chinese bank card in Vietnam: Hanoi, Nha Trang, Dalat, Saigon or else go to the Bank of China in Kunming and change your RMB for dollars if you don't like taking the 2% on ATM fees in Vietnam. Since the Chinese is importing so many dollars from their trade surplus, they no longer care about surrendering RMB for dollars.
