| GUEST11278 | Yes Marrie. you are dead right. I'm a pre baby boomer and its hit me head on, wife (Californian) left (because of money shortage) and took my 9 year old daughter, that alone hit me very hard. plus all my bank cards too, My pension has totally died. I'm still taking this trip come h£ll or high water, what followes I just do not care any more. I just have to see China and hope I get some sort of inspiration from the visit, may get lost (or even find a job) in some airport and never return home. Money problems? I have none!! |

| Guest, if you believe in no permament rice bowl, life will never be passive, on the other hand become meaningful and it also drives you to travel all the way. |

| Yes i would echo Davec,not about the whole world going down as i do not want to be so gloomy but certainly the £ is rerally losing strength. In April 2008 i was getting around 13:1 rmb to £ but i can see when i go to beijing in december i will only get around 9.1:1 rmb to £ !!! ANd it will probably fall again before then,i really should change up my holiday money now i think. I have a £550 fiance visa to buy in the local currency that is getting more and more expensive by the day. Today on the radio (here in the uk) at work i even heard someone has started a move to join the euro whatever good that would do i am not so sure. |

| Yeah investing at the right times is important.It must be okay,if you dont lose it all or even half.One time,it was nice being at the top,but it all came tumbling down. Its one way of looking at it.Its a small problem for some people,who can maintain their health,and savings. Yet,it was the time to begin over,and just never quite made it back to the world of plenty. |

| The tickets for my trip to China in Feb. are bought and paid for, so of course I will be going. If they were not I might reconsider, and I may feel the need to scale back my plans for what I will do once there. |

| GUESTJADE | It hasn't put off my plans, the only thing that made me think twice was hearing about the labour dispute riots in China. Now I'm pretty sure it's nothing to be concerned about - but can anyone confirm? Would anyone put off a trip to China because of the possibility of civil unrest during your stay (if economic situation deteriorates further, that is)? I'm planning on a volunteer work stint in teaching, if that means anything. Cheers |

| hey chinaguy,i totally agree with that sentiment. There are going to be so many job losses in the coming year (here in the uk),already two major national shop chains have announced their closures due to bankruptcy. Many thousands of people out of work for the new year. I really hope that it will be over soon. I think if anyone is still travelling then they should just consider themself to be fortunate as i do :-) . hey guestjade,what part of china were the disputes taking place in? |
