Tips for hotel life in China

I recently spent 3 weeks in hotels in China and realized I should share some insights and recommendations..

• The roads are noisy and distracting, bring speakers/headphones/ear plugs.

• It gets wet so bring short socks / sandles

• If you have a hotel pool, bring a swimming hat

• The Internet might be filtered, preload maps and/or organize a VPN

• Lots of beer is bottled, bring a bottle opener

Words worth remembering..

• Nee how - Hello

• Ching Dao - A brand of beer..

• Shey shey - Thank you

• Dong La - I understand

I’d recommend learning the Chinese way of saying your hotel name. Each hotel will have a business card with their address in both English and Chinese, pick a handful of your hotels business cards up..

I’d recommend learning the name of the KTV nearest to your hotel, these are usually used as great reference points.. KTV = Karaoke joint..
