Don't get frustrated at everyday situatlons. Smile, Laugh and treat people as you would expect to be treated. I've found that smiling and being friendly gets you a whole lot further in a situation than being aggressive and demanding.

Have someone you know who speaks english and is Chinese, and keep their cell phone number stored in your Phone... Whenever you need to speak to anyone, taxi driver, waiter, etc etc....Just call your English speaking Chinese friend and let them talk for you
