Registering with the Chinese government as a tourist only today. Living in a hotel helps me dodge certain law things I suppose. It turns out the police don't give a damn. I wasted my time at the police station trying to register for temporary residency. A note on the police, they don't do anything here unless it's directly in front of their station. If you are getting mugged in front of them don't count of anything. When we first arrived in Xi'an we saw the police sleeping obviously in their car. The lunch break at the station was 3 and a half hours. They left at 11:30 and were back at 15:00
There is a lack of cellphone etiquette in this country. If you are at lunch with somebody they may text the whole time and not talk to you. Just know this.
There is a lot, a lot, of studying that needs to be done and English classes haven't even started yet.
Chinese name: LuRuiYa. I wanted a more normal name than XiaoHua, or little flower, but I don't know about this one.
