The chapter includes information on how to get in touch with people before arrival and how to plan for happiness in-country. It ends with sections specifically for business professionals and teachers. For researchers, there is information about how to create a network of acquaintances, integrate with the local community, decide how to present yourself, and figure out the way to take notes.
