Real time online China’s traffic maps
It’s so boring to get into the traffic jam, so in China we have as in other countries some services to get a real time map of the road in major cities (Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Tianjin,..). I prefer the auto.mop.com.

Recharge mobile phone with China Mobile card
Recharge mobile with China Mobile (中國移動) seems to be something easy, but the fact is, seems most of people don’t know how to do. First thing is to buy the card (電話卡/手機充值卡) into any China Mobile store, streetbook vendor, small shops,… but really most of the place have it.
When you have your card, scratch off the coat to have the magic PIN Number. Then you can start to call the 13800 138000. A nice girl robot will ask you if you want have in Chinese (press 1) or in English (press 2); we want to be like local, so let’s press 1 (btw, the procedure is same in Chinese or English).
They will ask you which number you want to recharge and finish it by #; A little tips is, if you want you recharge the number from where you’re calling, just press 1#. Now the fatidic moment of.. write the magic PIN Number, finished by #. If you do all in the right way… the nice robot will tell you that “The operation is successful”.

Shortcuts for the address bar in Firefox
With firefox we actually have 2 possibilities to search something on the web. The first one is the old way to search, you go to a search engine (like Baidu, Google,..) and you type what you want. at least 3 clicks Really too slow! The second solution is to use the search bar on the right-top, need to select the engine with the mouse then type what you want; a little better, but still need 2 clicks.
The actual best solution is to add a shortcuts for your favorite website in the address bar. Then you’ll just need to type in the address bar something like “g IBM“, to search on Google the word IBM.. or write “qqz 11223344” to directly go to the QQZone 11223344. Easy no ?
QQZone shortcut
Let’s take the example for Baidu; We need to go baidu, make a random search and add this page to our bookmarks (like: http://www.baidu.com/s?wd=IBM), then go to Organize bookmarks and select your entry. You have the information about Name, Location and Tags; and if you look a little closer, you’ll see a little arrow..
Organize Bookmarks
Click on it to have more details, then we will use the “keywords”, this is where we should write the shortcut, let use a simple one like “b“. Now we should go to the address and replace the “IBM” by “%s“, this variable will be what you add after the “b “. Then save and you’ll can use your shortcut :)
