Pogo in china
I realize that Pogo hasn't been release in China and thus there is no raiding, battling, or catching. However, will the app still track distance walked? Can I still get some buddy candy while I'm there? Should I stock up on 10km eggs before I head out?

I was just in China myself and PoGo loads but there are no spawns, stops, or gyms. I recall my avatar moving on the screen so I suspect it'll track buddy/egg distance but I never walked enough with game open to notice or test.
Depending on your service provider you can sign up for an international plan. I had Verizon so it cost me $10/day and I think I could use 100mb daily of data based on the days I turned on LTE data and roaming. I tried to limit my data usage to every other day and use hotel wifi for most needs at night.
Lastly, this was mainland China. PoGo works 100%in Hong Kong if lucky enough to stop there. I was hoping to find me a Kangaskhan in HK but had no luck with that. Enjoy your trip and watch out for those eastern toilets!
