In your suitcase:
Take
light cotton clothing
and a light raincoat. You can
find plenty of
cotton and silk to buy and get
made up there.
Take some woollens and good
walking shoes if
you are going to a mountainous
region,
the tracks are not always very
easy.
The same if you are travelling in
winter, when
the rains can be cold.

Working in China
:
State
structures no longer control the
totality
of recruitments. A major problem
is the lack
of labour regulations. When laws
exist they
are easily circumvented. Two main
obstacles
to working in China are : the
total ignorance
of how business is practiced in
the western
world and and the absence of
people speaking
French or English. The lack of
good management staff causes an
incredible turnover and an annual
hike in salaries of around 30%.
"Winning away"
personnel trained by other
western companies
(by offering double or triple the
salary) is
a national pastime.
