[quote=DESTRUCKDOZ,248604]One thing that you will find is that, at some point or another a vendor will try to rip you off by stating a higher price than what it is usually sold for. I found it easier dealing with those who displayed there prices. Usually if you are trying to buy like fake jade or vendors that are under a canopy, they have everything grouped by price which would make it easier if you wanted to haggle. On a side note, in china it seems like they calculate EVERYTHING with a simple calculator so if your good with your addition and times table, thats a plus. I found that most were honest but some would sneak in about 20 or 30 Yuan and thats serious money there even though It may be a few bucks for us. Sickness is something you will have as well. I heard of some pills you can get through your doctor to shorten the process but it lasts like 4 or 5 days in which would suck a lot if you didn't have your TP. If you don't, you can use the adjacent hose...no kidding. Oh yeah and they usually have floor toilets so you will have to squat like on the side of the road. I remember something that every women in china loves: Oil of Olay. That product is like the most loved feminine product. It is not like its not available, it is just that it is very expensive for them, about 70 Yuan give or take. It is probably cheaper if you get it in the states. Oh, and if it is possible, get a seat in an area of the plane most far away from the planes engine, it is FREAKING loud. Well, this was my experience, I have lots more I just cant remember them right now. These were mostly centered around Guangzhou. I cant seem to find where Chongquig is, maybe its misspelled?
