    • The Chinese surrency is the yuan. $1 US = about 8 Chinese Yuan. That means that this bill is worth about $12.50
    you can buy a lot of stuff with this like:
    10 Mao watches
    dinner and a cab ride
    breakfast for 4 in a nice hotel restaurant
    breakfast for 165 of your closest friends at a local restaurant
    a sweatshirt at the silk market
    a nice jade necklace
    several skewers of mutton

     Update to your taxi card: #1 Panjiayuan Antiques Market is great but it's only open on weekends. #2 Liulichang sells more cultural goods instead of antiques. Still a nice place. * "Summer Place" is Summer Palace. The Russian Market was demolished in 2002.    		jessicadf Thu Mar 27, 2003 05:58 UTC
