Think of how much worse it would be if he didn't have RL. Be nice to your buddy give him a hug for me.

Invite to chat please :)

Whatever you do, don't settle for LA Fitness. It's horribly oversubscribed and the people here are savages.

To deposit USD at BoC while in China, you walk into a branch with your ID and bank card (you need an account) and you hand it to the teller. It takes much longer than in the US.

To withdraw it, you need tax forms. Much more difficult process. To withdraw it without being in person, you may even need a 2FA token generator. If you've lost that, you're most likely fucked.

If you still have access to your mobile account a trick that worked for me two years ago was to use your mobile banking app, transfer that money from the bank app to Alipay, then you need to use a site like swapsy to find someone to trade Rmb for USD.

H Mart would be so incredible but also murder my wallet and belt line. But they have such decent baozi and dumplings. Ughhhhhh.

Ding, ding, ding!
