A Dummies' Guide for Travelling Designers
Sayings, Abstracts and Advice of the Day


1) Do the moonwalk on a frozen lake.
- Location: 南湖公园
- Go during the cold weather (-12C to -8C is preferable)
- Invite your China friends to bring you there.
- Take a step of faith and walk on it!
- Next, take photographs of yourself on it.
- Dance, prance and all on the ice! (video cameras is a good accessory here!)
- Don't forget to do the signature MJ's moonwalk (who can't resist doing?)

1i) If you are not daring, try these;
- Ski on a chair (rentals is included)
- Visit their only indoor shelter. The toilet.
- Walk around the park. Just don't step on dog poo!
- Collect "free souvenirs". Leaves and flower bookmarks. Pluck. Press. Stamp.

*Finally, sitting in a cab is better than walking. Even though you can take lots of pictures while walking.


2) "Who ever knows how to cook is Martin Yan's wife."
- Visit a grill and barbecue restaurant.
- Wear a bib (literally one!)
- Start cooking...
- And unleash the Martin Yan in you!


3) China friends are generous.
- Warning: Don't exploit them.
- They are warm, nice and friendly.
- And if you talk to them, you might get to know interesting history of the place, affordable places for shopping, study tips and places for good food.


4) "Everybody must drink warm water!
- No explanation is needed.
