Can anyone tell me if coloured card/paper for charts/flashcards etc. about 80gsm, is available in Wuhan? I know I couldn`t get any in Beijing when I was there in 2000. There was only very flimsy paper, or a type of plastic/foam stuff.
Many thanks,
Viv

I have always resorted to flimsy paper, but I try to get my flashcards laminated with plastic at every opportunity. Some employers are happy to do 2 or 3 a term, others to do 20 or 30. Needless to say, I redraw a lot of pictures. One of these days, I'm going to buy my own laminating machine.

You can use index cards as well, if you are hand writing them. Or, if you want to print out 9 on a sheet of paper, then you can glue them to index cards as well. Time consuming, yes, but there are no "Kinko's" in China to make it easier.

Thanks for all the replies. I have a laminator and will bring it with me. Looks like I`ll be taking some coloured A4 paper as well. So darn heavy tho. Maybe sending some of this stuff by freight will be cheaper. hmmmmm.....

You can use regular paper, just use about three sheets. Works fine.

You can easily get colored A4 paper in China. Just head over to your local arts & crafts shop and they should have plenty of it; pretty good quality too, heavy enough to make flash cards out of it. Not to mention the cheap price
