I'd much rather have a fish brush my foot.... ...than a soiled condom.

A couple of things to note for tourist goers:
If you're bringing your Lonely Planet to Qingdao, you'll find that, (as with many places in China), for most things it's completely and totally useless. You can get the 5 yuan tourist map as you get off the train station, and that will give you pretty much all the useful information the LP would have and then some.
The big disappointment we had is that the travel centers listed were either closed down or the buildings they had listed were no longer there. When you're traveling there during the busy seasons, finding a travel agency is key, as tickets aren't going to be readily available at the train station. I found a great place though, right across the street from the train station. Later, once I get a map in front of me, I'll give you the exact address. Basically, the street right across from the train station, not leading towards the beach. The travel agency is one of the first places on the right. They had my tickets ready for me in about 10 minutes. They also spoke decent enough English, for those of you who don't speak enough Chinese. Hopefully they'll still be around when you roll through.
