Want to see some fun of travel in China during major holidays?  Like Chinese New Year or Golden Week (October National Day)?  This will tell you why I much prefer to get myself out of China during these holidays...

Chinese Tourists

As China has seen rapid economic development over the past 20-30 years one result of this is that more Chinese people want to travel both domestically and internationally.  Well let's just say that right now the Chinese don't have the best reputation as tourists...unless of course you open a high end luxury brand name shop where they come and buy like nobody else!

Earlier this year a new guidebook was published giving Chinese tourists all sorts of warnings and suggestions...plenty of good humor here.

And yes sorry I have been MIA, it all becomes difficult and I owe you plenty of updates...
