UGH. I'm going to Japan first for about 3 days, then off to China-land for roughly a hellish 2 months. Coming back the week before school starts...
(I leave next Tuesday.) GAHHHH!!!! What should I bring besides the essentials (toothbrush, toothpaste, clothing, etc.)?? What should I NOT bring?? Also, does anybody have a rough idea of what most of the urban cities look like today? I haven't been there in 5 years...and China has changed alot in 5 years... How are airplanes? GAWD...I CAN'T EVEN BELIEVE I'M ASKING THIS QUESTION! But...still. How are the airplanes...? I heard that some have SHOWERS...n stuff. What's there to do on airplanes? Plus, how long do you think I'll have to stay on an airplane to get to Japan? To China from Japan? DO THEY SPEAK *PROPER* ENGLISH IN CHINA?? (Not ENGRISH!) Somebody tell me if China's status on communism...I mean, I know they're still Communist, but it doesn't really seem that way from what I saw online (only for the urban areas, not for the poor & rural areas)...hmmmM... |

What should you bring? Um...I don't know. Something to entertain yourself with? But if you want any electronic stuff...get it in China. It's cheaper.
The urban cities in China look like...um, the urban cities in any other country, like the United States. Hong Kong reminds me, in many ways, of New York. Big urban cities are all alike. Airplanes don't have showers. There are small, cramped toilets on airplanes. Um...yeah. To Japan it'll take...10 hours ish, depending on where you live. Japan to China...again, depends where you're going...A plane ride from Vancouver to Hong Kong takes around 14 hours, so yeah, you could calculate and estimate from that. No, most people don't speak PROPER English in China (if you mean unaccented, perfect grammar and stuff) but it depends where you're going. If you're going to an urban area, most people will know English well enough for you to understand. |
