Traveling to china, have some tips?

[mtueckcr]

Hey guys,

I am planning on traveling to china by the end of march. Its my first time, and I have been attending a chineese course for one semester. Generally I pick up on new languages very quick and do have some experiences. I enjoy diving into new cultures and reorganizing my lifestyle and adapting to the new culture.

I do have some contacts and know some people I could stay at in China.
Now I would like to know if you guys have any tipps for me on how to behave or how the chineese behave. Also I would like to know if there is any precautions.

I hope you guys know what I am asking for and are able to help me.

you're lucky,I'm from China.
I think one of the common culture shocks for westerners(if you are) is many Chinese speak indirectly,but that's not a big deal,we are welcoming and warm-hearted anyway.

Do you know where I can get the cheapest tickets to beijing from?

I only find AirChina & Lufthansa have this route
cheap price around €300-330(including tax),depend on time
I often go to http://www.go2eu.com/air/ to book(no connection with me),but you can only phonecall them to check price

hope this help you

First of all thank you for your quick reply and info.

Do you know where I can buy stuff like the stuff they sell here in China?

almost every big city in China has a street or a place selling these stuff
in Beijing,it's called Zhong Guan Cun in mandarin
