   Ouch! China in winter. You might find Beijing cold, dry and polluted. A face mask will help if you’re not used to that kind of environment.

   Hi Mark..

   I live a couple of hours out of Beijing. Unfortunately it’s very unlikely that I’d be able to meet you on the 2nd. I would have loved to, as I’m a plugin author (DualFeeds and IFrameWidgets) and you’re a plugin author’s best friend!

   Hope you have a great time in China!

    Bummer you’re not coming to Dalian.

    Confusing that you’re going to Qinhuangdao. :S

    In any case, enjoy your trip.

    Here’s a tip. Don’t buy anything for more than 30% of the starting price when bargaining with the locals. It sounds like you’re getting a great deal at 3/4 of the price, but it’s that cheap. The local consumers get mad when visitors pay too much. It raises the overall price for everyone.

    I am not Chinese but I am living in Changchun, Jilin, China but we will go to Beijing on Nov 30th.

    Are you delivering some kind of a seminar? I noticed your schedule is so hectic. You’ve got such short time in one place.

    Qingdao. We love it here. Thanks to the China Blog List, there’s a pretty active English-language blogging community. If you have any preconceptions of China, leave them back home; you’ll enjoy your stay more. Have fun.

    Welcome to China. Though I will be in Beijing when you come, I am afraid that I can’t manage to get to see u and other WP bloggers.
    Anyway, I suppose you don’t have to take any FACE MASK to help you these days in Beijing. Things are getting better here in Beijing~~~
    Enjoy your stay here in Beijing and in China!!!

    Oh I am so completely jealous! I am just dying to check out China
    one day. Their culture is just so beautiful, inside and out. One day
    I will learn either chinese or japanese because I just love learning
    different languages and different cultures all together. Do go site seeing
    and let us know and possibly post some pics!
