Worried about coming to China

[诗爱玲]

Find a good pocket dictionary or get pleco on your iphone. As long as you can find words while out and about you'll be fine. Most people are willing to work with you.

Don't worry about China at all! From the months I spent there it is like heaven compared to Detroit and a lot safer. It is safer than even Los Angeles. I was never worried about anywhere I walked through. Just be careful of pretty women, anyone that is pushy trying to get you to drink tea with them or look at artwork are just crooks, tell them "Bu Yao" and keep walking.

maybe the place you live in is better than the place(nanchang city) I'm going to live in ..

and safer is Good, I'd love to be in a place that is safe .. what about the girls? .. I've heard the Chinese are very pretty and don't mind dating foreign boys..

I recommend, as a side note, you watch 'Requiem for Detroit' - which is an independent documentary on the way in which Detroit has changed over the years, and the way in which various businesses came in, then left.

The music in this documentary is fantastic, and really does chart the rise and fall of Detroit as a city - I genuinely felt it was on of the best documentaries I've ever seen.

back on topic, china is safe, but unless you are rico suave the girls in the city arent going to pay much attention to you until you learn some language and culture skills. I did however meet a lot of beautiful girls in every city I traveled too, but I am rico suave and they all thought I looked like Beckham with my mohawk. I've never had it easier talking with ladies, probably because they are mostly well respected by the men there. As long as you act intelligent and not like a jersey-shore douchebag you will make plenty of friends ;)
