    Hong Kong & Shanghai (Visa and Shopping Question)

    Probably easier to get the China visa in HK. The Chinese embassy is in Wanchai. Even asking for an express visa is cheaper than getting one here (I think, but not 100% sure on that). Suits? I wouldn't bother as often they do not fit well.

    Long delay in cashing foreign cheque - finally not value quoted - why?

    Wonder if I could ask advice - I cashed a US dollar cheque for 4,400 US dollars, see below the email correspondance from the bank - it finally lodged last week after 6 weeks but at just over 3,000 euros, compared to the email confirmation of 3,276 euros so I am down 200 euros. I don't really see...

    I'd say you'd need a car if staying on Ile de Re, buses or bikes available, but seems a bit isolated to me.
