Banking Nonsense

Its been over three months I've been here and I must say by far the worst thing so far has been the shoddy Banking services provided. No admittedly I don't speak Chinese and this is a big one which if one thinks its a clincher I'll seed the point but that being said service was atrocious. Firstly, I must say that banking hours are nothing short of ridiculous here, in a society where 12 hour days is the norm banks ALL close at 3:30pm. That's right 3:30pm. So getting a visa bill is next to a nightmare. Thankfully I've got a great family at home that's been really helpful with making sure that the VISA corp. doesn't send one of its goon squads to repossess my meager possessions.
