(Believe me, it will happen.) The Chinese don’t expect you to get everything right and are on hand to help when you don’t.

The plus side to these awkward faux pas is that you are probably experimenting in one of the best places in the world. This is not the easiest thing to come to terms with but come to terms with it you must. You will say something tactless, you will take offence when you shouldn’t and you will at times forget where you are. The first thing to consider if you share these same anxieties is to accept that you will make mistakes. How should I act? What should I do to avoid awkward confrontations? And most of all, how do I avoid offending people? The thing that really frightened me was how I was going to fit in. It wasn’t the fear of being in front of a class of students that bothered me the most, or even the thought of being thousands of miles from home. I remember being so nervous on the flight that I couldn’t even commit to watching a film to pass the time my mind wouldn’t stop whirring. It was my first experience flying on my own, my first visit to China and my first ever teaching job. The flight to Wuhan took around eighteen hours and I remember the journey feeling long and short all at the same time. In these kinds of situations it doesn’t matter how much you try to prepare, your expectations never quite align with reality. This is not to discredit any of the sources I cited or any of the helpful people that offered me advice. I had done my research, spoke to others who had been in my situation and I still felt woefully unprepared for what was awaiting me when I got off the plane.
