There are not so many common glyphs because of their omonimity, 1.5-2 thousands is enough for most cases. Most glyphs consist of common parts (graphemes), which consist of strokes and thus can be sorted as well. As for dictionaries, they sort glyphs either by number of strokes or by pingyuin - writing chinese words using latin alphabet. They enter glyphs to computer or, say, sms messages using pingyuin, it's rather convenient. 3.

And it depends on what places are you planning to visit. For me, time in Beijing, Shanghai and Lhasa was appropriate. 2. it’s not really a problem, you’re not really suffering from the time of your country differs several hours from the time in China, so they are not suffering from the sunrise at, say, 13.00.

First, they are suspicious about any attempt to use internet. I couldn't find free internet in the hotel, the standard price was 3 yuan per minute, not so pleasant. When asked about internet cafes, they act like i'm attempting to do something wrong there. In fact, i used internet only in Lhasa, Tibet, but it's not really China. Had no time to explore many sites, but for example livejournal.com is not allowed, that will give you a clue what kind of sites are prohibited. 1.
