  21. Map of Shanghai

  22. Getting Around • Only 3 subway lines • Extremely packed during Rush Hour • Taxis – Cheap! • RMB 10 ( 1.3 dollars) for 3 kilometers • Nightmare if it rains – Book in advanced

  23. TIPS - Shopping • “Ask for price in terms of RMB. $1= ~8RMB. A feeling I have about pricing in Shanghai is that 1 RMB feels like $1 when you buy non-imported items. For example, when someone tells you a set of tea pot is 100 RMB, it might not sound much if you convert it to USD, which is about $12.5. But if you think of 100 RMB as $100 USD, then it's very expensive. This is just a way to get a feel if people are trying to raise the price on you.” • Small stores around the area tend to be more "flexible" in prices and will try to cheat foreigners in terms of prices. • Bench mark: a set of 1 tea pot and 4 cups should cost around $5. However, don't expect to get that price since they will simply refuse to sell to Americans that low. The bottom line, don't pay $20 or $30 for it.

  24. Tips – Cultural Do’s and Don’t • Chinese are usually very tolerant of other cultures. • DO NOT hug women as a greeting • Considered too intimate for Chinese • Shaking hands is a good means to greet people • Smile or a wave will also elicit a friendly response • Greeting kiss, whether on the cheeks or on hands, is unacceptable to the Chinese • The typical Chinese greetings: • nihao (hello) • jiandao ni hen gaoxing (nice to meet you).
