If you're planning to visit the Middle Kingdom but plan to chat or make phone calls using Skype or Google Talk, install the software before taking your trip. Attempting to access the Skype website might be a daunting experience for some users as it defaults to a Chinese site that is hardly ideal for international users.
Obviously, there are other alternatives to downloading the application through other sites (e.g. Download.com) and even through iTunes. However, installing the Google Talk plugin and software is a more daunting challenge as Google servers are somewhat at odds with the Great Firewall of Morokoshi. Users will be able to access the Google Talk page but fail to download the setup file. Even Linux users with Google repositories added will have problems installing their software, much less download the .deb or .rpm file from the site. So, download and install before you head to the airport.
