I saw a big armored van unloading boxes of cash (I'm calling the Chinese Renminbi "Maos" to my MIT friends--the Chairman's face is on practically everything) into a China Bank of Communications. They were all in blue-tinted urban camo, big black boots, thick helmets. And on either side of the van, near the rear (towards the street), a security guard stood with an obnoxiously-sized shotgun, looking at everyone that passed by with eyes saying "no."
I was thinking briefly about taking a picture... but then thought better of it. One of my goals this trip is to piss off as few heavily-armed Chinese men as possible.
