Todd,
Welcome to the PRC. Now go home.
Notice how all the lights inside the high rise buildings in the new part of town (The Special Economic Zone) stay on all night? From the hotels (above street level) you can see that the buildings are all empty. From the street it looks like they are all bustling busy. The locals all think think things are OK.
Like vash says, be careful with invites. Can be a sting. Have had other crew get stung. They are trying these 'sweeps' to cleanse the city of 'corrupt western influences'. Assume all phone calls are monitored. If you doubt that, on a call back to the states, mention how f-ed up everything there is. The call will be disconnected, mysteriously. I always wait until my conversation is over, cuz your phone will be dead for 30 minutes after.
Welcome to the PRC.
