d36 Chinese banking disaster... Hello Hong Kong!

One of the things foreigners have to adjust to in China is their wacky banking system. Let's just leave it that it took a lot of patience to get my money from my Chinese bank account. They kept insisting I return to Shanghai to order a new card or open a new account (as you do in China when you lose a card). I guess the phrase "my Chinese visa runs out tomorrow and I have to leave the country" didn't mean anything to them.

Once again Daniel came to the rescue. He helped me with my banking woes in time to get to the border. I cross into Hong Kong with my bicycle this time. Much easier than expected.
