Here is the official website of Slingbox in China:http://www.cellstar.com.cn/.You may try contacting them to buy one. I have never used it before. The adsl bandwidth usually ranges from 2M to 10M in Nanjing depending on your location.
I’m moving to Nanjing in a few months. Does anyone use Slingbox in Nanjing? What are the ADSL Bandwidth speeds like? I’m going to be living in Xianlin and I want to be able to watch NFL.

Hey have you guys gone to a Subway Sandwich shop lately? It’s like the fell of the face of the earth. The only one that seems to be still working is the one at Da Yang Guang Chang. Anybody notice the same?
I know what you mean - Nanjing’s choice of scooter designs is fairly limited. Your best option is A) find a used Honda Jazz 50cc petrol scooter - probably about 3000RMB used in good condition - it’s got a quirky retro-style design including two-tone paintwork, funky round clock display and some nice bodywork although it’s very small and uncomfortable for anyone over 6 foot tall.
Option B is to try scooter dealers in Shanghai or Hangzhou and use a haulage company to transport your new bike into Nanjing - probably about 500RMB for the haulage cost. I know that Walmart in Suzhou sells a very nice Vespa-style E-scooter, and also there’s a custom bike builder in Suzhou (don’t know the contacts) that rebuilds scooters with full-on retro features including quadrophenia-style wing mirrors, swept-back handlebars, chrome wheel hubs etc. A Vespa-style E-scooter is about 2500RMB, you’re also looking at around 500+RMB for haulage back to Nanjing and if you want your bike customised, throw in another 1000RMB.
hii
i want to rent a high definition camera for shoot ,does anybody know any place in nanjing where i can ?
I’m looking for a retro scooter (Vespa style) in Nanjing. Either electric or gas. I have found them in Shanghai but they don’t deliver. Any idea of a place in Nanjing?
Well, if your primary purpose of travel is to indulge in the world’s oldest trade, may I recommend you bugger off to Thailand instead? You’ve come to the wrong country and seedy c***s such as yourself are NOT welcome here.
I can tell you haven’t been here long as everyone knows that prostitutes can be found in the following establishments:- Massage centres, ’special’ KTVs, mid-range Chinese-owned hotels and backstreet ‘barber shops’ with pink neon lights.
The price will vary depending on where you go and your bargaining skills but I doubt anyone will charge you a fair price because you are, quite frankly, desperate.
Yo where the hookers at in Nanjing? Where can I find them ji nu’s and how much are they?

it’s hard to say where to get the best, but a good deal would be to go to cloth city ( http://www.nanjingnow.com/1046/nanjing-tailor/ ) on shaanxi road. the thing with hong bang is that they may not have to much of variety when it comes to cloth material etc….

Any restaurants or hotels in Nanjing provide catering services for a Christmas dinner? More specifically interested in buying a baked ham or turkey, along with many sides, something similar to a Thanksgiving dinner. I heard Sofitel does it but I’m not sure. Any advice?
Hi,
iam trying to get chinese driving license. ive got the german one for cars, small trucks and motorcycles. even if i only get car license it would be fine.
i finally found a translation office that would help me do the test, but now they say its not possible to do this with an F visum.
a friend from shanghai told me that its only possible with 6 month or longer F visum, so far i had only 3 month. i will get 6 month visa next week, in shanghai it would then be possible to get the license, should be possible in nanjing too right?
anyone any experiences?
thx in advance

where do i find adventskalender in nanjing. please reply urgently to mcm66@t-online.de

Thanks for the reply , but its not the case about the bikes… Yellow number plates are the most expensive one in bikes
I don’t know the difference on bikes but on other vehicles a Blue plate is a privately owned vehicle and a Yellow plate is a commercial or fleet vehicle - that’s why trucks, vans, buses etc have yellow plates. Not sure why bikes have yellow plates tho but I guess yellow plates are cheaper. If it’s a 50cc bike it should have green plates cos they have different classification
hi everyone I am planning to buy a motorcycle with a number plate .
But I I want to know the difference between Blue and Yellow number plates ? what are theirs limitations and advantages ? beacuse there is lot of price difference.
Your help will be highly appreciated.

try going to the sixth or is it the fifth floor of deji plaza. that’s your best bet in the xinjiekou area. if you like in the longjiang area, meaning west of the qinhuai river, check out the Warner Bros movie theaters which sit just next door to RT Mart (tell the taxi driver ‘waahr-nah!’ for warner and ‘jin-rooon-fa’ for RT mart. you’ll see pretty clearly where the theater is. not all movies are in english.
