Congrats!
Always curious... Do you need to know Cantonese to work over there or is English only OK?
- ephix0
yeah english only is ok.
- jevad0
english only is ok if it's a gweilo corporation - but you'd have more to play with if you knew mandarin or cantonese too...

do you smoke ciggs? if you do, what ever you do, do not drop it on the floor!!! there are special ashtrays on each corner. if you finish your cigg before the end of the corner, hold it till you get there...if you are caught, and the odds of that happening are 100% you will be fined!!!! a lot of money!!! DONT LITTER!!!

Cantonese really helps, i've been learning for 7 years now, and speak a lot, kinda freaks people out in shops when i ask for stuff...
