Very important if you are a non-chinese person - bargain! if they see a white man asking them the price, they will not double it, but make it 5 times more.

Shanghai and Beijing.. they are like the Milan and Rome of China (what a comparison!) cause Shanghai is the modern face, the business capital while Beijing is the governative town...

The sellers are super aggressive when buying shoes at the silk market. But, the deals are insane! I bought 10 pairs of shoes for about $7.00 US per pair. The best way to get a good price is to pick out everything you want, and then negotiate for the entire lot. They have boots, sandals, dress shoes,…

As with all other places in China, public toilets are usually the squat kind. That does take some getting used to if you're new to China and a female. But that's not my point.

One of the most striking things observed in this enormous airport was how huge and long it was. It felt like we landed at a gate that was at the other end of the Chinese wall.
