At its worst, China is a third-world country in which millions of ill-dressed people push and shove their way down the heavily polluted streets of hideous, ramshackle cities, thinking of little else beyond how to survive in the continuing and unpredictable social experiment that is Chinese life. It has much in common with other impoverished, over-crowded nations, plus a few quirks of its own.” Peter Neville-Hadley, China: The Silk Routes TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction 3 A Letter to Students 4 A Note From Brad Evans ’98 5 Using the Guidebook 6 Tips for a Successful FSP/LSA+ 6 Courses in Beijing 7 Role of the Director’s Assistant 8 Preparing for the FSP/LSA+ 9 Health Preparations 10 Visas 12 Travel Arrangements 13 Packing for China 15 Money and Communications 18 Pre-Departure and Aboard Your Flight 19 In China 21 Arriving at the Airport/BNU 22 First Few Days in Beijing 27 Health and Safety 28 Appropriate Conduct 30 Sample Daily Schedules 31 Cultural Activities, Chinese Language Table, and Saturday Trips 32 Residential Life at BNU 34 Money and Communications 35 Getting Around in Beijing 37 Eating and Drinking 41 Shopping 43 What NOT to Bring Back to the United States 47 What to See and Do in Beijing
