I've Had a Little Bit Too Much - Thoughts on China
We can't stand the horking and spitting
Don't speak English and don't care
Sometimes hotel staff can not answer typical tourist questions
Can not find decent maps
Tons of Chinese tourists
Have most modern conveniences, a lot of Western toilets, 50/50 chance of getting soap
Monkeys and Pandas are very cool
Yangshou was very beautiful
Dali and Lijiang are incredibly quaint
Chengdu is only good for seeing pandas
Xian, the old city, was quite nice
Lhasa was off the hook!
Beijing is like being in any Western city
Of course, the Great Wall was Great
Don't like people pushing, cutting, looking over my shoulder to read what I am writing, standing too close, being unhelpful and yawning dramatically and loudly
Some people need to invest in deodorant, shampoo, perfume and mouthwash
Cars don't yield/stop
Large military presence in Lhasa and Tian'an Men
Pollution was huge in Xian and Beijing
There are some incredibly beautiful sites
The food was disappointing
Overall - Loved and Hated it
