I realize however that using the German PEN Club&#8217;s method \u2014 i.e. wiring money to the bank indicated \u2014 is extremely expensive for someone in this country as US banks will charge 20 to 30 dollars for making the wire transfer. I would therefore suggest that those who want to help Aygi wait for a week or so: I am in the process of setting up an alternative &#038; less expensive method of getting help to Aygi. As soon as this is set up I&#8217;ll announce it on this blog.<\/p>\n<p><a onblur=\"try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}\" href=\"http:\/\/photos1.blogger.com\/blogger\/4187\/1128\/1600\/images-10.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;\" data-src=\"http:\/\/photos1.blogger.com\/blogger\/4187\/1128\/320\/images-10.jpg\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><\/a><br \/>\u2014 <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">A Happy New Year &#038; a Great Year of the Dog to all of you!<\/span> Yesterday &amp; today 144 million Chinese citizens will have used the train system to get to their families.
