Alan Moore - Halloween Costume

Thinking about going as Alan Moore for Halloween, mostly because I get told I look like him a lot (hair, beard). What kind of apparel should I get to round out the look? Excessive rings, cane, Watchmen button? Needs to be enough that I don't just look like a random guy.

Currency Exchange - RMB back to USD

Hello,

Leaving China after a tourist visit soon. Have about 700rmb left that I took out, thinking I'd need more cash but everything is Alipay now (hadn't been here in 12ish years). When I got the RMB, I just went to an ATM at Bank of China and withdrew the money. When I just went to a bank, they said I needed proof of the exchange to change it back to USD. I don't have that. At most it printed me out a receipt but I didn't keep it. Will it be a problem if I just exchange it at the airport?

Early morning DiDi to Airport

Has anyone had trouble getting a ride to the airport really early, like 4 or 5am? Have a pretty early flight soon. Would be from Tianhe to Baiyun airport.

Dive Bars and Pubs

Any dive bars or pubs in GZ? Just looking to sip on cheap beer and chill but only find cocktail bars and microbrew places. Know its not really much of a thing here.

Eating at restaurants usually meant for larger parties

Hello,

In Guangzhou with my wife for a bit. I lived here previously as a teacher and went to a lot of traditional Cantonese places, Sichuan, etc. with larger parties where you order multiple dishes and share. We are going to similar places but as a party of two. Has anyone done similar? Just worried about all the wasted food and wondering if they even have tables that small. Basically want to try a small amount of a lot of dishes like would usually happen with a big party, but I know the portions are usually meant for a large group. Hope this makes sense.

Tourist Visa - Told to wait for call

Recently dropped off my passport at the DC embassy after the online application was accepted. My wife's visa was done in a couple of days. I was told they would call me when mine was ready. Has anyone had this happen? Worried it'll get delayed and/or my phone will screen out the number. I've been checking on the online app and its still at submitted. I will say I have had a visa in the past, about 10 years ago for a visit, and was asked about that and my current job when applying in person.

Thanks!
