Looks like I'm going to BPA

I appriciate all the postings on here and have had some pretty frank conversations about the country and conditions. It looks like I'll be going to China on Nov 14.
For those who have been: what did you wish you had brought that you hadn't thaught of?
I'm certainly bringing a lot of extra things like toothpaste and shompoo only because I used to live with a girl from Hong Kong and know that most of the products I'm familiar with are not availiable. I've heard that the hotel only has bath tubs, anyone know of some type of shower adapter-type-aparatus that I could McGyver into place to get a descent shower?
I'm bringing a few weeks of malaria meds so I can go south when I get some off-time. How hard was it to travel in the region (say to Thailand or Vietnam)?

I saw 20+ Cessna 172s and 182s the other day that are being installed in shipping containers in Wichita, KS and sent to China. Anyone know where they might be headed? BPA getting some competition?
