I went to China a while back..
I’ll be returning to go on a camp in the summer to learn the language and visit all the sites.
It was fun.
I personally thought it was all farms but it wasn’t. The cities are vibrant if not a bit snobbish.
To make it in China, the best thing to be is western. It’s an unfortunate fact.
However, going there, you do feel quite rich because everything is so cheap! You hand over a 100rmb bill and they check it over and over even though it’s only worth about £7. Amazing.
Also, if you’re a size 8 and under, the clothes are amazing. However, anything above and you’re looking at specialist shops that have XXL sizes… Lame.
But definately worth the visit. As one of the world’s oldest civilisations, it’s certainly got alot of history.
The ancient caves and writings are something to be seen too.
