Day 15 in Yan Tai...the Bank

So today I went for my second attempt to transfer money to my US account. Success! Last time, I waied for five hours and filled out so many forms that I don't even know what they were. This time, more of the same. However, I did learn the process this time. All I have to do is deposit Yuan in my Bank of China account, pay 200 yuan plus a very small percent of the amount transfered, and submit a transfer form. Then it takes three days for the money to arrive in my US account. So in three days my money should arrive in my US account, and I can pay some US bills. I transfered enough this time for two months of loan payments, so as to make the 200 yuan flat fee charged for every international money transfer.
