The local acronym for the Chinese currency is RMB. The method of payment (notice the absence of the word 'preferred' or 'choice' in the preface for the word 'method') is cash.
The maximum withdrawal is less than 500 CAD or 2500 RMB.... which is alot of bills. This 'cash only' state mandates us to become 'thinker aheaders' Each morning we review the days activities and the amount of cash required. Going to the cash machine has become a common occurrence and thankfully there is one in this building !
We have developed a variety of phrases about going to get cash. "Playing the slots - three times lucky - going to the wall -always a winner....."
We are all feeling well and enjoying our trip very much.
