JohnJohn, welcome to the Brotherhood! I must admit, I was sceptical too after reading many of the negative post. But there are also a lot of good stories. Yours could become a good one too. Just go with an open mind and keep the 24 hour rule in mind.

Have a nice trip!

Appreciate everyones support and good advice. Shark thanks I will send you an email after I get there and get the room, etc..
Should be there close to midnight coming up China time. About 22 more hours from now.
I asked my girl to make a hotel reservation for me. She replied and asked me what style, class hotel and all. I told her something around 500 but not exceeding 700. She actually called around to alot of different places and then picked four to go look at, and then to pick the best one. I was pretty surprised that she actually physically went to look at the hotels to check out the service, the rooms, etc. She picked one and made a report to me. Lucky thing she wrote the hotel name, address and phone number in english and Chinese. I had totally forgot to ask her to do that. Good think she thought of it. Im getting there pretty late so said better to just meet her the following morning. She even gave me the average cost for taxi fare from airport to the hotel. Asked me to email her if I wanted her to arrange a hotel taxi to pick me up. The taxi is about 100% cheaper and probably more convenient so I will use that route.
  Appreciate the tips on some of the things to see. Im very happy to sign up here. Its great to be able to talk to people and share some concern, worry and hopefully very good experiences with.  Especially with the possible misinterpretations that can happen. Will post as i can with updates on my trip and a hows it going.
See you guys later.

I finally made it. Just got to the hotel. Should see my girl inthe morning.
Im exhausted tired. In the airport at immigration the guy kept eyeballing my passport wondering if it was fake or not. Kept rubbing on it. Maybe he thought my picture was going to rub off or something dont know. They took me a couple steps to the side and asked me if it was my first time here, what is my reason, where am I going and all that. Everyone was respectful though. Got my bags, and was actually the first one to get outside from the plane. Hotel room is awesome. Its like a mini apartment. Hotel staff extremely friendly. Room has a desk with a computer. Took a minuite on how to understand anything though because the OS is in Chinese. Im so happy Im finally here. Going to bed now.

Hajo:
Sounds great John! She must really care for you to go all this trouble to find the right hotel for you. I am looking very much forward to get to know how things develop! I wish you the best of luck!
