Traveling to China
Though China's borders
are open to foreign travelers, it's still not the easiest place on earth
to visit. But with a bit of self confidence, or by tagging along with
a professional tour group, China will no doubt give you the experience
of a lifetime.
I'm going to get this
next section out of the way immediately so you know exactly where you
stand with China. We'll start with the negatives and end on the positives:
Cons:
1) China is a Communist country (Oooo - Scary!)
2) Infrastructure is weak
3) If you don't speak the language, you better not get lost
4) The food
5) The bathroom facilities
Pros:
1) China is a Communist country (Isn't that part of the mystique? You
can always go to Kansas or Switzerland instead)
2) Infrastructure is weak (Build your confidence without joining the U.S.
Marines)
3) A cultural experience you'll never forget
4) History (Over 5,000 years of it - The Great Wall, The Forbidden City,
The Summer Palace etc. etc. etc. These folks have been around a long,
long time)
