Perfect advice all around. My contributions:

- Be prepared that things will NEVER go as you think they should, so you
need to relax and accept the **** happens rule.
- Make sure you have a GSM phone, and you can buy a phone card there to
activate minutes. Even grown ups get lost.
- Make a laminated visual list of "crucial sound items" like cables,
connectors, adaptors, equipment, stands, blah, blah, which you can just show
someone on site and say "Wo yow zigga!! ("I want this!", and hold up the
appropriate number of fingers. Fast clear communication.)" Easier than
trying to communicate through a translator (if you get one)
- Try to get it communicated that you need to set up early in the morning
regardless of what the organizers tell you "is plenty of time." This will
buy you the extra hours you need to almost get it right.
- Remember that nothing happens during lunch time and dinner time. Food is
the #1 priority.
- Tell the local guys to take you out for some drinking and fun. (Your
treat, but will be lots of fun)
- Enjoy the cheap massages, great food, and $1 DVDs.
