Yes, but your idea of avocados and the Chinese reality are totally different.  Here, avocados do exist, but they are very small in size, maybe shaped like your idea of a pear, but smaller.  Otherwise, they do taste about the same, and run under 10 Rmb each.

Sometimes, at places like Walmart, or at some street fruit stands you can see the ones you are accustom to, but thy are expensive, upwards of 60 Rmb, maybe as much as 80 to 90 yuan each.

Now, as far as buying them on line, I really do not know, never tried it before.

yeah, i've gotten the expensive ones but those aren't available anymore in Hohhot.

Yes, Taobao. Different stores have them. Many in English. I bought ten of them , all fresh and extremely  delish!  They ship it in a Styrofoam box so no bruises. I would reccomend other fruits, like cherries as well, Cheaper and fresh.

Also a note. I dont know about the small avacodos mentioned above, but i doubt youll get them for 10 yuan. id say 15-20 per.

At local Walmart store they sell from 7 to 8 yuan a yin.

A:I had a similar experience in HK. If I recall correctly, before or at the Z visa application, I had to submit ME from the ordinary HK clinic, where I explained why I need ME and I asked them to examine only necessary things (I don't remember the cost ...), and then ... I got Z stamp and when back in China, I had to complete another RP ME, which was on the employer, i.e. included in the Contract ...We've never discussed refund of payment for HK ME with my employer. Year 2013 ...I'd say, that is a regular thingy embassies around the world require, before issuing visas for LT stay in the country. "Vladimir Vladimiro-Witch ras-Putin" (LOL@your pronunciation ..) demands the same thingy before granting LT stay in Ruski.  ... Haa, 2013 was the Snowden's year. I was in Kowloon at the time of his landing .. with all these files ... I'm-Still-in-LMAO-State ... Cost for the ME in HK was around HK$ 2000/200 EUR, and ME was kind of swift, quicker and way shorter than on the mainland ... -- icnif77
