Also, remember RA's get 2 level UG's, whereas Amb's are only supposed to get 1.



Good tips. Taxi's typically are ok to come by usually, but if there is a convention agree it would be hard. The subway station (last stop, Century City) is convenient to go north through the city. From there you can catch bus lines pretty easily if you want to save $$. To the city center I always took the subway, esp a good idea during rush hour.

As for the airport thing, good tips though it's hard. My cab from the hotel to the airport cost me 70 RMB this AM. The driver wanted 120 and I wasn't in the mood to argue, so talked my way down to 70 or so. The hotel said it should cost 100RMB or less so figured 70 was close enough.

Airport shuttle is 10RMB and runs from airport to Mingsheng hotel downtown. Not convenient for the IC, but you can do it (shuttle bus to subway) for a total of 14RMB if you don't mind the time.


Hi mnredfox - I sent you a PM for some contacts at the IC Chengdu and was wondering whether you got it?

Thanks!
