9 Mobiles in China - My Personal Perspective

I use a two-way radio at home in USA. There is no licensing restriction to use my FRS (Family Radio Service) low-power, short-range two-way radios. Does anyone know if it is permissible to use these FRS radios (462 mHz frequency band) in China? Is any license required to use such a radio in China?

8 PVG: From Pudong Airport to Nanjing

We understand that there is bus service between Shanghai and Nantong via a ferry across the Yangtze River.
How can we find out the schedule of this bus service? So far, we have not found Nantong bus schedules on the internet.

But we also have heard that there is a ferry service from Shanghai up the Yangtze River to Nantong. We would very much like to make this boat trip from Shanghai to Nantong, or vice-versa. So far, we have been unable to find information on the internet for this boat service. We understand that at one time, there was a fast ferry service directly linking Shanghai to Nantong, a company called Nantong High Speed Passenger Ship. But we have not been able to find anything about it's current operation, or whether it still exists. How can we find out details (schedule, contact numbers, location of boat dock, etc.) for whatever boat service exists at the present time (all-water route) between Shanghai-Nantong?

Thanks in advance, to whoever can help on this question. Happy New Year to all.

7 PVG: From Pudong Airport to Nanjing

We are planning to visit China from USA during spring break. We want to visit Nantong while in Shanghai. What is the best way to get there? Does any one know the fast ferry schedule between Shanghai and Nantong? Any suggestion of a nice centrally located 3-star hotel in Nantong? And a nice 3-star hotel close to Putong Airport?
Thanks

5 Using Contact Lenses

I just got contact lenses too. For me it's actually very easy to put them on BUT I can't take them out. I try and I try and I get sooo frustrated. My eye gets really irattted and it makes it even worse. I found this website. It has pictures and tips for inserting and removing contact lenses. http://www.alconlabs.com/in/eo/clc/CLC3.jhtml

Hope that helped! Keep on trying and don't give up because the reward at the end is the greatest.

4 Hire a Taxi? Avoid Rainy Friday

I once stayed at Shanghai. I found the taxi drivers very nice and very friendly, but it didn't rain then. Why don't they like the rain?
