Alrighty, I'm back.
>>45109Quite informative. Out of curiousity, are your facts coming from friends, personal experience, etc? It seems legit, but I just wanted to know. I guess it's mostly a combination of stuff I learned while conversing with people there and what I personally observed while simply walking around. I'd see things, and ask why they are that way and how they got to be like that.
>>45118 Woah, I had no idea. Damn it, now I can't laugh at that picture anymore.
>>45119 I don't think they have bath houses in China, or at least not many of them. I did get a foot massage, though--probably one of the most physically painful experiences of my life (I'm not joking).
>>45121Did any of the food make you sick? I've heard a lot of bad things about hygiene in the way they cook, chemicals etc.. No, at least not due to the food. The weather there was extremely humid, which I'm not used to, so that had me feeling kind of shitty a few of the days, though. I'll go into the weather later.
>>45122 Most of the time when people go on vacations they end up appearing in a lot of their own pictures. That's just how it is, Anonymous.
>>45125 What?
>>45126I leave on early August for just over a week. Tips on haggling and keeping safe from pickpockets in malls etc? Well, China's actually pretty safe. Just don't put your wallet in your back pocket, leave bags unattended, obvious stuff like that. There are a few parts of the city that should be avoided in general (Chinese friends told me that a few of the minorities who come from the boonies are especially known to try to steal from people, so we just avoid where they congregate). It's really not that bad, though.
Pic is of one of the many large, ornate gate things that are usually found in the parks or at the entrances to important historical sites.
