Thank you all, keep visiting while I write more rubbish.

Well... I'm not sure where to start this and how to proceed here. This is kind of a lengthy post, so you are forewarned.

Assumptions:

Before going to China, I was very apprehensive about several things. I was not sure if I’ll survive for 3 weeks. This was because I do not know anything about that place and there is so less on the internet too. Well… they have so much more in the internet, but you know they are all in this box characters (I do not have those special glasses which will decrypt those).

I’m a vegetarian and I had the gut feeling that I could survive anywhere in the world… hey… I survived in South Africa after all. But, there is a butt in everything, every other guy I met told that you’ll starve… carry bag full of ready to eat… you’ve to eat meat… so on and so forth.

Chinese people are very aggressive and do not entertain outsiders, and we have this weird theory that they eat anything which moves. So, I was afraid if I’ll be hanging upside down on some butcher’s shop.

Also, there are these dragons flying around picking its prey. :P

How I survived:

Coming from airport to hotel was an easy affair, I asked the guy at the foreign exchange about the approximate taxi fare to the hotel and kept on telling that number and showing the Chinese address before one taxi driver asked me sit. After reaching hotel, one of my chinese colleague dropped in and took out for dinner. I explained him that I’m a vegetarian and cannot eat meat/eggs, so that night was pretty good.

Next day the hotel guys sent some stuff for breakfast and a drink, my colleague came to pick me up for the office and verified my breakfast if I can have them or not :D. He even informed the hotel guys to give me breakfast without meat/eggs. Thanks a lot friend.

Lunch was never a problem as my colleague would take me out anyway. Courtesy Vincent, I even learnt couple of survival tips that would help me not to starve at the nights. Except for food and taxi, I must say, every movement in China for is like playing dumb charades. God… I’m good at this game now, my team mate should just be a Chinese and we can win the world cup in this.

Enough of the crap, now comes the interesting part.

Things I observed:

1. All Chinese men are not of the same color
2. There are some Chinese men about 6 feet tall.
3. If I’m standing behind 10000 people in a straight line, there is a 99% probability that I can see the first person.
4. Anyone over 5.7 feet tall is considered a monster. If they fall short of food… remember you the first one.
5. There are no black Chinese… No… this is not a racist statement.
6. These guys are not aggressive, not at all. They might fight among themselves, but never fight with a stranger.
7. They can eat anything with chopsticks...
8. There are no Chinese men with curly hair.
9. Smile and the world (China) will think you are an idiot.
10. All Chinese people do look sleepy. And of course sleep.
11. You can sleep in your office. You’ll not be fired for that.
12. Chinese and Japanese are different.
13. LiuHua clothes market is the biggest market I’ve seen in my current life. There are like million shops throwing away clothes at the passers by and taking peanuts instead… No wonder all the clothes you find in all the countries are “Made in China”.
14. Men’s fashion is the biggest joke of the millennium. Out of the million shops, there are like 100 ones for men. No wonder they don’t show them in FTV… who wants it anyway :D
15. XiuHuia is the biggest IT market I’ve seen. Bangkok, which was my previous big one is just 1% of this, I must say. They do not throw the items, but you can get atleast 40% reduced prices. So sad, you cannot buy more if you want to be not bitten by the customs.
16. You can get anything here… even Apollo rocket will be sold, just that it’d be Appolo.
17. Last but not the least… a survival tip. You should either know mandarin or should be good with dumb charades.

And yea… there are no dragons here… they might be a myth or they might have eaten them all.

谢谢
