Notes on visiting China
1. Wear a skirt. Or leggings, or trousers you can roll up.
2. Do not shop in Luo Wo unless you can screen touts out. Or are not visibly European.
3. Snake and turtle are much nicer than you might think.
4. Have your passport readily available and be ready to be minutely scrutinised. Even if you are the world's most unlikely terrorist.
5. Plain silk can be had for less than £6/m, but it is probably as well to take a Cantonese speaker with you.
6. Avoid taxis unless you are exceptionally brave.
7. Have a shower when you get back.
