Money
Exchange rate basically identical anywhere, and normally good, about 6.8 now
ATMs on campus or tourist locations in Beijing normally support one of the systems with logos on the right. Check on your ATM card Zhao Lan Yuan, outside banks
Travelers cheques may have better exchange rate, but there is a fee
Power in China
220 Volts. Check your device before you plug it in since US uses 110 V
Power plug Type A, similar shape that used in
US with slightly smaller gap If your plug has 2 prongs of
the same size, there is no problem
If one is bigger, or you have 3 prong, you need a adapter. The simplest way is to buy a power strip with universal sockets, available in the market near dorm
Phone landlines
Beijing Special prepaid card operated phone in dorm Free for incoming calls Get Beijing 201 card from newstand near canteen or
along street Broad band connection in dorm
Phone cards, available in many convenience stores A little more expensive than US You do not pay face value, 50% or more discount is
common
Cell phone in China
Mostly GSM although CDMA networks becomes available
You can get SIM cards In market near dorm Small general store in Zhao Lan Yuan Post office on campus Small electronics shops near main and south gate
The cost depends on Number: 8s are good, 4s are bad. Minutes included How long has it been retired You normally can pick from a list of numbers I have seen from RMB 50 – 130 ($7 – $18), some has more air time
than others.
