[quote=BROCCO,258367]Just got back from travelling ALONE in China (seven cities - internal flights, trains and cabs/guides....) The only problem I had was with people trying to extract money out of me.....this was more or less constant....and terrible in Shanghai. Curiously I found myself pretty gullible at first despite my knowing that often I was being taken for a ride....!?! I think this is part of the problem....you want to have the experiences but there's always a price to pay, literally! However, I never felt in any personal danger. The Chinese are pretty pragmatic. If they cant sell you something they'll find somebody else. Next time I will know a bit more Mandarin and be a bit more savvy.........Great country though, fascinating and I also found the Chinese have great humour. Confounded expectations.[/quote]
