UPDATE : The post office man came back. Apparently, they don't receive a few titles I had asked for. List was revised, and the post office man left again. No idea when he'll re-appear.
--------------
Step 1. Get a list of available titles from Dalian school.
Step 2. Ask school secretary to contact post office, which is where newspapers apparently are ordered from.
Step 3. Repeat step 2.
Step 4. Repeat step 2.
Step 5. Find out that man from post office will be coming in the next few days to discuss subscriptions.
Step 6. Repeat step 2.
Step 7. Repeat step 2.
Step 8. Man from post office arrives. Show him list of newspapers you would like. Receive information that he will go away, check prices and return later.
Step 9. Repeat step 2.
Step 10. Repeat step 2.
Step 11. Man from post office comes back. Prices and titles are all in Chinese.
Step 12. Have secretary translate to ensure that list is correct. It is.
Step 13. List is given back to post office employee and taken away.
This is as far as I have gotten in the process. I have no idea when the papers may show up, how I pay or what my next step is. Anyone want to venture a guess, though?
