To Scam or Be Scammed!

You may recall that I talked about the complicated process changing dollars into RMBs at the Bank of China. In fact I was a bit irritated that it involved so much paperwork and examiation of my bills. Well... I take it all back.

For the past 48 hours, I have tried to spend my two 100 RMB bills, and no one will take them. Not the taxi driver, not Angel the tour guide, not the man selling apples. How was I supposed to notice that one corner of each of these bills has been torn off or that the picture of Chairman Mao doesn't change from green to black when the bill is moved from upright to flat.

Yup. I've been had. Somebody, knew I was a likely target...and I really don't know where it happened. I'm thinking it must have been Yuyao as that is where I got a lot of 100 RMB bills... You're probably thinking I got them from Mr. Green shirt back in Shanghai, but the truth is, I'm one who PAID him, and I didn't get any change.

Moral of the Story; Always check your change!!

Xai Jian!
