Would you want to if you could?


I might be going, i have a choice to go or not. Haven't decided yet.

Well, technically anybody can. However, if it was a matter of paying to go there and winning an all-expenses paid trip, I'd likely jump at the trip but hesitate at paying myself since there are a lot of other places I'd rather see first.

Granted, if I ever became an author or something else where I could remotely on my own for long periods of time, I probably would live in different countries for months at a time.

Not sure where China would be on my bucket list of places to visit but it'll definitely be after England and Japan. Hell I'll probably want to visit Burma/Myanmar and Taiwan where my parents were born and raised before China before that place gets too modernized.

Kinda this, I mean, I wouldn't mind visiting there but I wouldn't be in a rush to spend money to go there. Plus visiting a country where you don't know the language would be kind of a hassle.
This is my signature, there are many others like it, but this one is mine.
If you take 110% of what I say seriously then you're gonna have a bad time.
I dated someone who grew up in Hong Kong for a little while. It would have been nice to visit with her if things had worked out. Now, I'm not sure I'd have much of a reason.
I will probably in the next 10-15 years.

If i get a girlfriend, i would book a river cruise with viking down one of the rivers, as its double fair.
I have no desire to visit China for anything other than checking off visiting all the Disney parks worldwide from my bucket list.

Hmmm...I forgot about their Disney parks.
Yeah, though it's not my first choice of vacation destination. I'd do a brief visit to a big city, then spend the majority of the time in the more rural areas.
I don't think there's any place I just explicitly would not go with the exception of war torn/dangerous countries. I would def go to China.

Did you notice, were the more rural parts as difficult for white people, or any non-native person, as I hear with places in rural Japan? I hear that they can be pretty racist at times.
Nah.

No, but only because there are other places I'd rather go first.

Let strength be granted so the world might be mended.
nah. mostly because i'd be afraid of breaking a law I didn't know existed and what they'd do with me. which admittedly is a pretty stupid fear on my part, as I can't really think of anything I do normally that would be breaking the law in most any country really.

if I did go it would be just to see the great wall of china.

Enforcement of laws is often pretty lax in China, excluding first-tier cities. Plus usually the worst thing you might get is a fine or, in an extreme case, deported.

It was a crazy experience but I definitely recommend going to a foreign country if you can.

Sure Id enjoy seeing a different culture. Id be very careful about what I said or did there though for obvious reasons.

Nah man go where you wanna go.
I went to 'nam for work. I was training some people there.

I used to think people who were like "bro you gotta go travel once in your life and experience the world!" were full of shit but it really is a cool experience.

I had a layover in Japan and did a little bit of exploring and everyone was so incredibly nice and accommodating to foreigners. Businesses put out signs that say "Foreigners welcome!!" and usually have a list of what languages their staff speaks.

i'd go to japan too. just tokyo is off putting to me because I heard its the most expensive city in the world, and if I went to japan why wouldn't that be on my check list of places to go?

Germany is a really beautiful country, I have been tp several areas of Germany, and really loved the Rhine valley. I would also recommend Austria. Though I have loved Europe each time I have gone.

Doing one trip in your life isnt hard. Its doing repeat trips that becomes expensive.

You mean the kids who were arrested for shoplifting from multiple stores who Trump managed to get them off the hook for their crimes only for an ingrate father to turn around and attack Trump? As long as you don't go shoplifting from high-end stores, you should be fine. And, if you do, just make sure that you're an athlete because the president will give you a Get Out of Jail Free card.

I wouldn't shop lift. tried that shit here once and I just don't have the heart for it. but nah I just figured they had some strict ass laws for some reason. I honestly forget where I got that idea.

Red China? Nope. Hong Kong might be interesting with their English video games, though.

I just remembered the main reason I wouldn't want to visit. I can't stand most asian food. if I can't stomach the americanized version of it I doubt i'd like the authentic as I generally prefer the americanized version of foods. at least thats true with mexican food anyways.

I went to Shanghai a while ago and it was pretty meh. I had sex in a karaoke room which was a nice night. I also got robbed at knife point which was not a nice night. If you go to Korea or Japan before you go to China then nothing about mainland cities will impress you.

Hong Kong is great though. I'd recommend going as soon as possible before China ruins it completely.
Nah fuck Canada

I didn't see that but maybe they took us to the nice part of the countryside. I just liked it cause it has no pollution. also from what I hear, communist laws are more lax when you leave the cities
I'm planning on going this summer.

Not my first choice, but meh. Would rather go to Europe.
