Money in China


Money in China
Originally uploaded by Beijing Foreign Expert.
We were paid $500 US dollars oer month as a Foreign Expert... (half in US dollars the rest in yuan) dosen't sound like much... but when you know that a meal for ten people with a dozen Beijing Beers cost less that $10 US and we had free accomodations... I was able to save about $200 US every month...
This is a one yuan note of the time (1995).
