| Hi I was in Shanghai in 1995 and credit card use was exceptional (except in hotels). Later I bought a laptop in Beijing and made several errors in checking and rechecking the piles of cash. The cash was drawn from ATM with several cards over several days... I felt foolish as I had just flown in from Hong Kong where I could have bought the same laptop at about the same price (as it was an international brand). Hey ho - that's travel for you. |
