Hurray! Thank you Dark-San for... amusing... my... insan..ity? (Okay, I TRIED to work in the title. >.>;

I'll be visiting Beijing, Shanghai and perhaps a few other spots but those are not determined quite yet. :3 The culture here is pretty easy to adjust to, in the sense of adaptation-wise. (Home sickness is another thing. ^_~) While I'm not very good with my Chinese language skillz, it is fairly easy to at least get food and communicate with businesses and what-not. People here are pretty gawky at foriegners, but I believe in Hangzhou, they're used to it more than most. It is a very touristic place in China, after all! The things that are most difficult to get used to, is just the sheer number of people and public transport. I'm not used to crowded, very jerky bus rides but slowly I'm adapting! (Although thankfully taxis are incredibly cheap here). For example, I can get a 15 minute - 20 minute taxi ride for about 25 kuai, which roughly is about 3 dollars. Giving that I split that with three people usually... yah, very cheap. The one thing I can get used to though, is bartering. I find that haggling prices is something I'm quite fond of, especially when I think things are usually reasonably priced to begin with.

And I'm not sure if I'll be visiting Fujian, but I wouldn't be surprised, given that it's right below Zheijiang Province, where I am. :3
