When you go to China, take a sense of humor, an open mind, and whatever you absolutely cannot do without(This differs for everyone, of course.)

When I was in China, I was fortunate enough to meet my wife. We have been together two years- married one, and we couldn't be happier(I say this, but each day we do become even happier.) Next, we will both be teaching in South Korea.

But don't go to China looking for a wife- I didn't but am very glad that it happened.
Again, the sense of humor and the open mind are required if you wish to enjoy the experience.
