| 26th January 2009 Ross da Boss | re: the wrong impression - From: China: Guangdong to Beijing Hi NYCKid. Thank you for leaving a comment. I have no doubt that a sizable section of Chinese students study abroad and that a respectable number of those who do excel in the institutions they attend. Moreover, having been travelling for 9 months, I have had the pleasure of engaging with many wayfaring folks, many of whom have been Chinese and indeed of those, many I now call friends. So I can personally vouch for the Yuan's mark on global tourism. If my entry has been taken to suggest gross indifference or insularity on the part of the Chinese, this was not my intent. My entry is an account of what I faced in China. Sadly, as it so happened and without any real exception, those I met while in China expressed no interest to travel beyond home frontiers. In fact, on more than one occasion, the suggestion of foreign travel was met with real disdain. Not once, not anywhere, have I ever encountered such an attitude. In my experience, the prospect of travel invariably excites. For the first time, I was actually pitied: that I didn't have a magnificent homeland like China, indeed so marvellous, that I wouldn't wish ever to leave! Such exposure, so out of the ordinary, had to make me wonder just how prevalent an opinion this was. |
| 25th January 2009 NYCkid | the wrong impression - From: China: Guangdong to Beijing the idea of most Chinese ppl don't want to travel is wrong. Every year, tens of thousands of Chinese students go to study in Europe and US. Chinese and Indian students dominate in US graduate schools; another evidence is groups and groups of Chinese tourists in Europe, Japan, Thailand and US. They are everywhere, you can’t miss them...China is actually becoming world's largest market for tourism. There are just too many ppl wishing to travel or even live abroad. |
