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... |

ok. one thing. i've lived in hong kong here for around 7 years. be very very very very very very very very careful. people in mainland china are... freaky at times. but my family members are all living in china so emm... yeah. i don't think they speak english well. pretty weird english really. the flight's like 10 hours maybe? i remember last time i went from china to the states was like almost a year. really really long time. airplanes don't have showers by the way. china from japan's only around 3 hours. but it depends on where you're going from. china's really big. if you're going from beijing it takes a shorter time. from hong kong then it's a longer time. the cities are ok. not bad i would say. just be careful of its dirtiness. and it's also waaaaaaaaaay hot now. and a lot of rain this year. it's really surprising for us. i'm also moving to beijing this august. blah. i hate that. new school, new everything. anyway. have fun ok? i think just be careful of pick pockets. not i've been pick pocketed, but my dad almost was once. anyway, you'll have fun. i asure that.
