— priorities in PEK

  • #1 open new PSBC/CMB accounts with NRIC (+86 10 6833 4197 [M~F 9~17])
  • #2 (when GP is still around) icbc >> Hsbc with birth cert + 派出所
  • PSBC mobank set-up .. should be quick n optional
  • set up ICBC::gm access on mobank
  • withdraw 80k in advance

— SIM choices

  • at airport, get wife a long-term SIM (if fast) or temp SIM
  • at airport, get boy a 30D Unicom SIM (16 doable)…

— wife’s banking choices
#1 PSBC _despite_ NRIC
#2 CMB _but_ 1) long-term mobileNum is a problem 2) need another APP on my phone 3) fewer outlets
#3 ICBC [only if mobileNum hard] _but_ Rmb500/Y of additional ATM fees for one or two years. Tolerable amount to save a lot of stress + legwork. See buy stress-relief #ris`income

— bring SG>>PEK

  • short birth cert, wife’s NRIC, my birth cert (color copy)
  • money belts for Genn (and wife)
