[quote=CHYNAGYRL,252408]There's a fine line about how to treat the salespeople who are going to ask you to buy stuff or sell you services. When they see that you're a foreigner, they might charge you more than a Chinese person. And they might be very aggressive too. Sometimes they will follow foreigners long distances, before they give up. Just say "Buyao!" firmly and repeatedly if that happens to you. And just remember that they're trying to make a living; have some compassion. Sometimes when I was there, I got really annoyed and wanted to get cross with them, then the salespeople would give me a really good price or be a good companion for a while so I didn't have to walk alone in a rural area. So be nice. Whenever I got mad at someone, afterwards I felt like an asshole, knowing that my life back home probably more comfortable than theirs. [/quote]
