Just a quick note:
If you are planning to come here, when you get to the trust mart, do not buy or eat the little red 'goji berries'. Had a wonderful bout of chemical poisoning today after finding out they are laced with sulfur. Apparently all chinese know this and cook them for hours before they eat them, I just threw a couple on top of my cereal this morning and within 30 seconds had projectile vomitting followed by horrible stabbing pains. Spent the entire day in the hospital getting my stomach washed, not fun. Apparently same goes for the instant oatmeal, you have to wash it for an hour or two before you eat it. I've had alot of crap luck from store bought foods... the yogurt they have here that is in the little clear glass bottle with the cow on the front: SERIOUS vomitting and dry heaving with stomach cramps for 2 days straight followed by a week of diahrea. Panda is absolutely right, there is no control over food contamination here. If you get away with just the diahrrea you are lucky. I get the runs at least once a month, so be prepared for that. Also tis the season to pick up an electrified racket, the mosquitoes are out in FORCE and for some reason whenever I wake up to mosquitoes, their friends the cockroaches are never far away. If you are going to live in Guangzhou for any length of time you must buy GLUE BOARDS. Throw these things down at night infront of your bedroom door, apartment entrance and all around your kitchen. Also throw them down in hard to reach places like under the couch or behind the fridge, I always feel like a ghostbuster, whipping these things out. If you ever find yourself chasing these little bastards, you should have several small plungers ready to go and some spray. Simply pop the plunger over the roach and lift up just a crack, then unload a second or two of spray inside. Shake and bake.
A dehumidifier is a must, they will run you about 700 rmb. My friend and his wife have been waking up to some serious black mold that nearly covered their entire apartment, not an exaggeration. They moved out last week, once its in, you gotta knock down the walls to get at it. Its also highly toxic. For this I use packing tape. Don't touch that sh1t without a mask, its VERY bad for you, get a spray bottle, fill with 1/2 bleach, 1/2 water, spray it on top and wipe away after its wet down. After you let dry for a bit, put packing tape strips over the affected area and start looking for a new apartment.
Dehumidifiers don't kill mold, they only halt the production.
If this doesn't deter you from coming here, then you must really be hard up for pvssy.
BTW the best diahrrea meds are the ones that resemble little yellow smarties and are made of charcoal... the other 'chinese medicine' spikey crunch balls don't work.
