So I'm going to China in 6 days and I was wondering if anyone had ever been to China, or was from there. I'd like to have some tips, or whatever, to make my whole trip a little smoother.
Is there anything I should pack that I might desperately need? Is there anything I might need to remember, culturally wise (taboos to thank yous)? Is there a phrase I should learn quickly? You know where I'm going with this.  I'm going to/on: . SHANGHAI . YICHANG . THREE GORGES DAM SITE . SHENNONG STREAM or DANING RIVER . WANXIAN / SHIBAOZHAI / FENGDU . XI'AN . BEIJING I dunno if that helps with the tip giving, but it won't hurt :D ....Oh, and any items of clothing I should have? I'm from Florida, so cold to me is 70s. I already went to a bunch of travel sites and whatever, but I trust you guys with your insider views :D |

Bring LOTS LOTS LOTS of toilet paper/pack of tissues whereever you go. China's bathrooms 90% of the time do not have tissues for you. Have it handy so you won't be looking it with your butt hanging out. The water is horrible. I stayed in China for a month and was stomach sick the entire time. Bottle water is your friend and bring/buy upset stomach/diarrhea medicine with you to make you more comfortable there. You can't avoid it. It's in the food and everything. |
