They have English-writing customer service by e-mail, and you can recharge your phone on-line so you can top up your account wherever you are.  Now you can use coupon code PANDA06 to [...]

My sister and I were talking about the shades of gray in Chinese honesty. In just the last few weeks, she’s already been witness to quite a lot of what we in America might describe with the local idiom “lying through one’s teeth.”
It’s pretty common to be told that what you want is out of [...]
