Heres an interesting post i found fm Matt blog :))

Congrats , we are going to china for 9 days.I'll will be quarantined from my laptop,PSP, PS2 , etc.To be 'immersed' in their Cina[It's not spelling error] culture.Right.Yeah , the place where elites are born , the elites of the elites.

Listen-you can hear one clearing up my rubbish.If they are elites , we are god.

Firstly, the teacher emphasised that we should:

Bring only two pairs of home clothes, since we are using the laundry service at the hotel.Please do not forget that you are not required to bring any school uniform as we are allowed to wear home clothes to the school.

Please bring as much electronic devices as possible as the tour company would compensates any losses.This include your 40" plasma television et cetra.

You are recommended to have personal initiative and leave the hotel when you feel like it.

For meals, it would be wise to skip them and have instant noodles as Beijing is famous for them.

Did i mention wine/beer/whisky? Beijing host a great collection of them and they just taste great! Grab as many as you can!In addition , the teacher would reward you with a blue form as long as you report this to them.

Mind you, Beijing is now a developed country . Their tap water is safe for drinking .Therefore, please do not waste electricity or fuels by boiling the water.

Please, be rude at all times you will be rewarded with a blue form. If you are caught being friendly and polite or showing consideration and respect , you will get a green form instantly.Please , do not forget that every five green forms would earn you a caning.

You are advised to buy cigarettes and poker cards as it's the hip and cool thing to do in Beijing.

Its also extremely safe there as each street in Beijing has at least a dozen CCTV monitoring any 'villains' .

For the first time , a trophy would be awarded to the idiot who is able to sustain his/her eye lids from closing .

Please take note that Lights out is at 0400.You are reminded to be late for every event and you should try to avoid the events at all cost.Lastly , call for room service as soon as possible as the expenses would be covered and it contributes to China's economy.

PS : For you own safety, bring you own blades/knife/gun to Beijing .Liquid are required to be placed in the hand-carry luggage or you will be required to place them in zip log bags if you place them in the check-in luggage.Kindly declare any illnesses you are infected with at the custom as you would have a 5x refund of you air ticket.
