1) Do not wear sandals, the streets are very dirty and dusty, also you have random pieces of glass and other stuff getting stuck on you!
2) Do not expect to get restaurant service after 9:45 pm
3) Do not expect people to speak english even in American driven hotels or restaurants.
4) Do not expect to finish a shopping transaction fast if you want to get a good price on things, if you want to pay the real price for anything give yourself at least 20 mins and lower the asked price by 50 - 60%
5) Do not expect to find Occidental style toilets in the streets! Specially in Beijing the only place for a tourist to use the restroom is in a hotel!!
6) Do not expect to find a cab pass 4 pm, we stood in line for a cab for over an hour!! and when we finally got one the driver decided that he would not take us cause it was his dinner time!
7) Do not expect to be in touch through Facebook or Twitter with your family or friends, it is blocked in regular computers, maybe you can get it in your iphone...
8) Do not expect to have one single free minute in your day! there are thousands of things to do and see!
