Q: If you could travel back in time and give yourself advice about China what advice would you give?
I would have warned myself not to ask old people what their given names are (I put a few noses out of joint with that one when I first got here) and lectured myself on the perils of fake alchohol.
Go home after one year no matter how good things looked at the time.
look both ways before you cross the street and look down to see what you are about to step in 
I'd tell my 1990ies McJob-self that I should invest all the money I earned in property in Zhuhai. Prices are 150-200 times higher today.
Don't spend so much money, I start out fine, but can't be bored, even so I spend double in places like Philippines. I'll never learn.
-Don't go out with [list of a few females names].
-Don't make friends with [list of quite a few names].
-Those 60 yuan PC games are fake, learn to use torrents one year earlier than you did, dumbass.
-Leave after high school.
-Never try Mc Donald's Spicy Chicken Filet Burger, you future lard-ass.
-You will always think Sanlitun sucks, stop hoping.
-Don't start smoking.
-Beer is good. Beer is your friend. Cheap fake liquor isn't tasty, and won't make you look cool.
-I would give myself a list of awesome places I wish I had been to earlier.
I would then go back in time again with my past until I accumulate 10 versions of me, and do an epic DotA LAN party.
* Avoid a list of girls, that won't go anywhere and it will make them and you unhappy
* Don't travel to a couple of place, it will suck
* Don't eat to that list of places, it will hurt
* Stop smoking *right now*, the air is polluted enough like that
* Less procrastination, you are just being insecure, you can do it, just give it a go
Nothing, I dont want to create a time traveler's paradox.
Never go through the agent I had. That one is going to make a lot of money based on how she does business. Well, no hard feelings anyway. Past is past.
Nothing.
People just have to learn the hard way... I probably wouldn't listen to myself anyway...
And I am betting you guys wouldn't either... lol
I would tell myself to stay at home where things make sense. At the very least, where I come from the power and water are reliable.
Don't let Biff challenge you to a drag race, just because he calls you chicken.
go home after one year,the longer you stay here and the older you get the harder it is to go home.
update your security questions for all accounts..
had to make a new facebook and gmail account
Continue playing with the band and touring around. Never listen to the discouraging comment.
lottery numbers, outcomes of sporting events. Kind of like back to the future 2.
Pick a large city. Small city in China doesn't mean less chaos.
