Subject: [Bejing/money] What to bring as means of payment? Posted on: 09 Jan 2007 16:09:03 MET

Hello

I have a regular international MasterCard that lets me take
out 300 euros/week through cash machines, and I've raised the maximum
amount of payments to 4,500 euros/week during my trip.

Since I've had a problem the last time I travelled to the US (although
I had told my bank before leaving that I was travelling, they or Visa
blocked payments after just a couple of days, because they thought all
those payments were suspicious; Thank God for Western Union...), I'd
like to take other means of payment in addition to that credit card.

=> Would you recommend I take out eg. 1,000 euros in cash before
leaving and change those in Yuan at the airport in Beijing, or should
I take traverler's checks in euros or US dollars?

Thank you.
