[quote=MISHEN ,24659]I agree with Wocca - slowing down is a good way to avoid any traps when you're flustered.A rule of thumb I use which may help out - obviously not specific to China. When you're travelling, don't buy or accept any service or good that's offered to you without your having asked for it - for example, if someone comes up to you on the street offering you a souvenir, ride or guide service, or even invites you to see a display - in general, say no. Almost every time I've been overcharged for something, or led to somewhere I didn't want to go - it was because I didn't follow that rule.That being said - don't be too sensitive. If someone charges you RMB10 for something, and you find it's usually RMB6 - it's not really a lot of money. Swallowing your pride and accepting that a small loss for you is a major gain for someone eking out a living selling trinkets is no big deal.Travel is supposed to be fun - you'll have a great time.[/quote]
