Visiting China through a tour company or backpacking your way around the countryside, starting a new profession, teaching English at different types of schools or perhaps hoping to find a new girlfriend will make no difference. You are going to come across things that you will not understand at first or display behavior that could be mistaken as rude or impolite by Chinese people.
That is the intent of this book – to provide you with enough guidelines to make your adjustment easier and faster.
This book will help you understand different schools which will help you in a job application or select a school.
The guidelines offered will direct you to things to avoid, such as colors, numbers, and gifts.
Included are helpful tips on how to deal with traffic, trains, safe places to eat that are often found at the end of a street block.
Interested in doing different things not often mentioned in travel guides then you will find ideas to take you to different places or enjoy different features you would not consider.
This book covers walking safely on the street (which you need to know) to bath spas, why there are so many airport delays and faster ways to travel around China.
There is a list of suggestions for unique shopping items to consider that are much better than tourist items; a list of articles that you should never offer your Chinese boss as a gift and how to deal with a significant number of Chinese superstitions.
Other odd topics will include tipping; the need to shop in several stores just to finish one problem. How to renew your visa if you are in China for a lengthy time; dinner manners, how the two ends of a pair of chopsticks should be used; why apples are part of Christmas in China; finding food from your home country and a different way of shopping that the Chinese employ.
For those considering girlfriend or marriage, there is a guideline to help you save money or understand the dating process.
What this book will not do for you is recommend hotel, restaurant or tourist places. Those items are well written about in tourist guide books. This book, however, will make you aware of some surprises that will happen to you during your tour.
