Police Station Registration

[roddy]

Just had a couple of folk (not sure if they were technically policemen, they weren't in uniform and my first thought was meter readers) come round to check my registration slip (yes, it does match that print-out from the exact same database, odd that) and ask if I had anyone else staying. Hardly troublesome.

That's the 交道口 patch, for anyone also under their protection.

What, you didn't warn me!!!!

You're not 交道口 though are you? I thought 交道口 stopped at 东四北大街。

True, and duly edited.

Oh, and did they also ceremoniously give you their new flyer?

[roddy]

Nope, maybe that's a 北新桥 initiative, later to be rolled-out across all of 东城。Tell all, what was it about? Did it feature 警警 and 察察 ?

I chucked it as soon as I closed the door. It seemed just like the old ones you got at the Yonghegong PSB - please register within 24 hours yadda yadda yadda

Just got a phone call from the local police station asking if I had anyone staying - I did but they've just left so I denied everything. Someone must be watching me
