General Respect (“kowtow”) Cultural differences Thousands of years Open mind ‘Culture shock’ Forget your prejudices

Behave in China You can have fun You can have drinks At a cultural visit, you’re sober, awake and on time! At a company visit, you’re sober, awake and on time! Drunk in public: NOT OK!

Going out Min 50RMB for taxi Never go on your own! Address of hotel Booklet! Name card Let us know!

Emergency numbers General emergency number: see booklet All teachers + coordinators have a mobile phone number These numbers will be made public on the first day => Take note of these numbers (booklet)!!

Something happens Let us know! Pay for the damage Never leave an ill student behind!

First aid and insurance First aid kit World Assistance Card + SIS card Provide yourself : Medication Allergy pills Pills against sore throat! Water!!

Bird flu “Avian influenza A”, “H5N1” Transmitted by air, not by eating

Watch out with… Water: only drink water from bottles Water from the tap makes you sick Food: never buy raw food (fruit) on the streets Make sure everything is thoroughly cooked or baken

Climate +/- like Belgium in march (15-18 °C): Can be hot during the day Mostly quite cold in the evening Very dry (polluted!) air in the big cities Drink often Take pills against a sore throat

Passport & ticket Departure: keep them safe! Arrival in Shanghai: return ticket Leave passport on your room (in suitcase or locker!) Cleaning staff can have loose hands Take a copy with you on the streets => you get one

Money Don’t exchange too much at once Exchange on the streets = better rate but SURELY FAKE MONEY!! ATMs available Keep your money and valuable stuff on a safe place Lock your suitcase! Never leave your money openly in your room Don’t take valuable things with you all the time  lock them up

Prices in China Taxi : RMB Chinese meal: RMB McDonalds and other fastfood = European prices Breakfast sometimes included If not: help yourself (there should be shops nearby)
