[quote=DAVEC,327530]I agree with most of what you say, we all have an interest and only a few are after the 'feminine gender', best not go down that route as we really get on thier cases big time.
I usually rent low cost hotels or stay with families while I am there, I have studied the language on and off for 7 years ( still crap at it) and try very hard to experience everything I can. It has taken me a few trips to get used to various things after being somewhat shocked on my first trip. I travelled with Chinese friend for few days and he taught me well, every question I asked, everything I pointed out and every time I said 'in the west....'  his answer was the same 'TIC', This Is China, I soon accepted it and started to enjoy myself.
I found the best translator I ever had was my smile, I tried to talk, changed my phrases and if they still didnt understand a smile and a pointing finger usually got me fed.

Thanks everyone for the words of encouragement, I probably need to look into pushing my photography. If as you say Dodger I get that many hits without trying, must be a market there somwhere for me.
Plus of course when I get to China for good the photo opportunities are endless so the site will be updated almost weekly.[/quote]
