Andy's Top Ten

Top ten do's and don'ts in China

1. Do say "Ni How", it means hello.
Don't say "Ni Hoo", it means I want a kiss. My eye is still hurting.
2. Don't assume the taxis will stop for a pedestrian.
3. Don't drink the water.
4. Do eat the food.
5. Don't use the local laundry. Trust me. Unless you like smelling like an egg role.
6. Do realize that Chinese cat fish is really Chinese carp.
7. Do pretend you are playing frogger when trying to cross the street. (For those you who are less than 30 or older than 40 it's a video game.)
8. Do go ahead and stare at someone if you like or spit on the sidewalk, neither is considered rude.
9. Don't give a begger a granola bar, they really just want money.
10. Do adopt a beautiful China doll.
