Never mind, you can speak English with the waitress in Hotel.
The most important thing is that you need to have a plan about the places you want to go, and let your chinese friend write down the place name in Chinese, when you go out for taxi, you just show the scrip to the taxi driver, they will know where you want to go.
In addition, I suggest you to have an detailed investigation about the products you need, and make sure that the place you go will have the exact item you need.
I am a chinese girl, and have an exporting business experience of 5 years. If you need any help, I am glad to give you a hand.
You are welcome to China!!

Hi.Every country has both honest and dishonest people.We should be careful before we know them.And it is helpful to find a local to give us a hand.Good idea.But it is misleading to say "too many dishonest people there."

before you come, you'd better send some email to the supplier who you are willing to visit and telling that you'd like to visit them, and i think someone can arrange many thiings for you like booking hotel for you or telling you how to go a place or someone may even help you to negotiate with your other suppliers.![[em17]](http://img.alibaba.com/images/eng/style/icon/emoticons_shake_hands.gif)
