Since the weather is starting to get hot here, always bring a refresher with you anywhere you go but you can always buy fruit shakes especially in the mandarin....they are serving the best cocktail ever.

On the social front, it is a great place to meet interesting people. If that is your thing, you will love it! Professionally, just arrive with oodles of patience. Best of luck!
