Thank-you, ChinesePod, for picking this rather serious subject matter for a lesson.

Growing up, I knew fortune cookies weren't really Chinese because my parents always had to point it out when we ate out.  They thought it was lame of the Chinese restaurants to take something American and try to pass it off as Chinese.

Meanwhile my parents stuff our Thanksgiving turkeys with fried rice.  Go figure.

My registration was pretty straightforward: Just show up with a Chinese citizen colleague/friend to help you out and then you're on your way. But a friend of mine didn't have the same experience: Police showed up at his apartment to demand his registration. The complex he lives in has a lot of foreigners. He was fined. That kind of stuff scares me - anyone can dress up like a cop and do who knows what to a foreigner who's not familiar with the rules.
