889 Posted February 5, 2018 at 12:10 PM Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 at 12:10 PM Plenty of handtowels in places like Wal-Mart and Carrefour. Or you can dare to try Taobao/T-Mall and get home delivery. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxi Posted February 5, 2018 at 05:33 PM Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 at 05:33 PM Easier probably in Amazon China: https://www.amazon.cn/ because you can choose English. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
889 Posted February 5, 2018 at 05:47 PM Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 at 05:47 PM Buying from Amazon means longer -- probably much longer -- delivery times and then there's customs to worry about. Plus, the site is only partially in English when you select "English" as your language. Still a lot of Chinese to navigate. Not to mention that I highly suspect Taobao is a lot lot cheaper, not that I've compared handtowels. I think the OP needs a good excuse to engage his developing Chinese friends and develop his engaging Chinese skills, and asking for help setting up and using Taobao is a worthwhile approach.

Jim Posted February 6, 2018 at 05:57 AM Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 at 05:57 AM Surely these can be stolen from any good hotel (and several bad ones)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pianote Posted February 6, 2018 at 07:15 AM Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 at 07:15 AM I'm staying in a hostel that doesn't provide towels but nevermind. I was walking to the subway station today and found some towels! I didnt have to go all the way out to Walmart! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

somethingfunny Posted February 6, 2018 at 04:51 PM Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 at 04:51 PM I was having more trouble with the fact OP 'found' them. Although I now see that they probably meant found them in a shop, rather than found them on the floor, like I had imagined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imron Posted February 6, 2018 at 05:08 PM Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 at 05:08 PM Or found them in her apartment after they'd been left there by the previous foreign teacher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

889 Posted February 6, 2018 at 07:06 PM Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 at 07:06 PM "I'm staying in a hostel that doesn't provide towels but nevermind." For 100RMB/night you get towels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pianote Posted February 6, 2018 at 07:36 PM Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 at 07:36 PM I upgraded to a 65 yuan a night hostel. I was staying at a shady hotel and bought the gloves from a place across the street. Anyway, the hostel I am in now does not provide towels.

889 Posted February 6, 2018 at 07:52 PM Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 at 07:52 PM 65元!I don't dare ask how much you were paying for the shady hostel, in Guangzhou no less. Or just how shady it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pianote Posted February 7, 2018 at 02:40 AM Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 at 02:40 AM 150/night even though im rooming with a few other girls here, my current hostel is much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flickserve Posted February 7, 2018 at 03:26 AM Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 at 03:26 AM What do these hostels look like? Can you post a picture of the interior? No need for the girls to be in the picture. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
