Forums > Living in Kunming > Temp housing / Money 1. where would I begin a search for temporary housing (a week'ish) whilst searching for a permanent place?
2. Should I arrive with US dollars in hand to exchange or can I just withdraw from ATM's from my US bank easy enough?
3. I have a Charles Schwab account, has anyone had any issues accessing cash from ATM's with their CS debit cards?
Thanks in advance!!

Forums > Living in Kunming > Banking in China ... I'm moving to Kunming in July. I've found loads of conflicting information regarding banking. Where are expats keeping their money? I live in NYC and could open an account at Bank of China, Merchant's Bank of China, or ICBC. Suggestions?
I'd like online services for wire transfers etc to/from my US account with Chase. Suggestions?
Also:are you able to log on to your US bank accounts for bill pay etc?
Thanks in advance :)
Forums > Study > Learn Chinese Easier website I'm obsessed with Memrise, in terms of learning to read the characters, this is propelling my progress faster than anything I've tried. Also, Rocket Chinese, excellent for learning to speak and some basic grammar rules.
