Well I was born in China and grew up there so I know what it's like.


I don't know what the image of China is in Australia, or how they show China on TV but I'm sure it's completely different than what you're used to.


I mean, to be blunt the place is a mess, if you're going to Beijing or Shanghai those places are some of the most messed up places I've ever been to in my Life. For a while you will feel as if there is total chaos and there is absolutely no order anywhere. For as long as I've been in China, that's how it was and I'm pretty much used to it. But of course, it depends on where you are and the type of people you're around, social class makes a huge difference.


Also, please don't try to criticize or look down on the Chinese if you see something that is out of the ordinary. There are more one way to do things, just to tell you.


Also, if you're planning to buy a bike or something, get like 20 locks, or else your bike might get stolen within a month. There are actually professional bike robbers in China...believe it or not....it's an actual profession, people actually get paid to steal bikes.


Also, if some homeless guy comes up to you for money, must be careful. Some of those guys are pretending to be homeless, it's their profession.
