 | Many Chinese parents are generous when they buy toys, snacks and clothes for their little kids. However, they seldom travel with their little kids. The foreigners are different. I saw some foreigners travel with their babies. Usually, the husband carried his baby on back. Why don’t Chinese parents travel with their little kids? They think their babies are too small to bear the rough conditions during traveling. On the other hand, it is very tiring to travel with little kids. They are troublesome. If you put all your attention on your kids, you won’t have time to appreciate the beautiful scenery. What makes foreigners travel with their little kids? Don’t you feel tired?  |

| GUEST67473 | Western families don't usually have such close family connections (live in grandparents) so convenient baby sitters are not so readily available. They also believe in including children in family activities from an early age. Vacations are usually planned for the family, not just the parents. |

Personally, I think it is good to have a family trip together. I don't have a kid yet. This May, I traveled with my parents and sister. We didn't go far from our hometown. But it was a good trip. |

| When I was in China and we were having dinner with a few Chinese families, and I was having problem using lacquered chopsticks and I asked for the bamboo chopsticks, as the restaurant had none, I asked for fork and spoon. One boy said: "Uncle, you act like a foreigner". Lonely, what constitutes "foreigners"? Wan |

| Once I pick up 2 clients at Forstar Hotel, I haven't found they had a baby until they seated in the car. The young man was carrying their little baby on his back. But I thought it was a very small backpack which seemed to be easily ignored. And I was told that the little Gorge was 3 months old. OMG... |

OMG...Chinese parents dare bring their 3 months baby out. I am thinking of traveling with my little baby in the future. But I dare bring her/him out when he is too young. |
