Some random pictures I took around China

Fun fact#2

There are around 600,000 (only) registered foreigners living in mainland China. Though it seems a lot - it's less than 0.5% of the general population! **According to 2012 records**

Gold tip#1

If you are living in China and you are scheduling a service / anything at your house at a specific time - make sure you'll be home! Chinese are VERY punctual.

Fun fact#1

There are 41! billionaires in Beijing, and in mainland China itself there are no less than 1,280,000 millionaires!

Some tips and facts

Gold tip#3 - Guesthouse bar! If you are travelling and staying in a guesthouse, go check out the bar. Usually they are pretty cheap and it's a great place for meeting new people. Also - ask on the front desk, maybe the 1st beer is free!

Gold tip#2

Anything you do here in China - be patient. Sometimes it takes time here to do stuff, not matter if it's in an official office or a serviceman, it might take time.. Be ready:)

Fun fact#5

As for 2014, there are over 10 million Chinese which immigrated out from mainland China to foreign countries.
