Guangzhou is one of the first cities to open its doors to foreign trade after the opening of China trade. It is interesting to note that the city, given its location and proximity to the China Sea, through the Pearl River, has always been known as the gateway to foreign shores. Under these circumstances, a business trip to Guangzhou will definitely help promote your business in China or help you get involved in Chinese trade. However, before planning such a trip, it is important to ensure the following factors. Firstly, it is important to make sure that you have a well planned itinerary along with pre-arranged meetings with your Chinese counterparts. This will not only ensure that your work gets done but will help in determining the various logistics that are required to make your business trip to Guangzhou successful. Secondly, depending on whether you are visiting a Trade fair stall or a factory directly, it is pertinent to make contact with the businesses prior to making your trip and informing them in advance about your impending visit. This is not only good business practice but will ensure that you do not waste time and get to meet and see all the relevant people and things, while on your business trip. Travel documents are extremely essential while traveling to any foreign country. Similarly, when traveling to Guangzhou on a business trip, it is important that you have a valid visa along with your passport. In case you are attending any of the trade shows organized in the city, it is important to have the required invitations along with you for registration. Hotel accommodations are the next important factor to be considered while planning your business trip. Guangzhou, after the opening of China trade, has actually witnessed a growth in hotels in the area. So, while you might definitely get accommodation on arrival, it is always best to book in advance, especially during trade shows. It is pertinent to note that not only do the accommodations fill up in advance during trade shows but are extremely expensive, increasing by almost 400%, making it really unaffordable for many people. Therefore, always book ahead and confirm your bookings before you make your business trip. Lastly, it is important to remember that people and business owners in Guangzhou are not really well versed in English. Therefore, it is essential to learn a few phrases in the Chinese language, which will help set the mood for your negotiations. You may also have your own interpreter with you in case your Chinese counterpart cannot organize one. This way, you can make the business meet a success and overcome the language barrier. www.ExcelGuangzhou.com
I came upon an awesome opportunity to go to the Thursday round of the Masters so despite alot of juggling work and alot of driving I took the opportunity.
Traveled independently for 1 month around Israel, Egypt, and Jordan learning not only abuot the culture and people but how things really work there. Did you know there is no public transportation system to the Israeli borders? An Israeli travel agent didn't even realize this as we tried for the better part of two hours to figure out the transportation system. There is much to be learned by tiki touring around on your own in a new destination and without fail you always meet some fabulous people.

My daughter and I went on this great adventure this past May, 2011. If you've never done a Greek Isles cruise, you've got to put this one on your "to do" list. What an amazing time we had. We sailed on the new Marina; what a beautiful ship! Luxury at it's finest! We visited places that I never dreamed possible.
