WE LOVED
The Great Wall
Some of the food
25p pints
The hostels
The culture and the history (we've been a bit deprived in the UAE)
Quality public transport
Being in the minority as a tourist
The train trips
Efficient airports
The people
WE HATED
The hacking and spitting
The toilets - squatters, trenches and communal
Most of the food
The pushing and shoving on the metro
Stinky tofu
Pot Noodles (by the end)
Chinese cruise ships
The smog
Chinese wine
Out of date (supposedly current) Lonely Planets
IN OZ WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO
Putting toilet paper in the loo as opposed to a bin
Drinking tap water
Green men at traffic lights which actually mean you can cross safely
Quality wine
Steak
Decent washing machines
Western TV and radio (although it is not that great in Oz!)
Western non propaganda newspapers. The Shanghai Post was as bad as Gulf News
"Chinese" takeaway in the UK sense
Last but not least - seeing all our buddies in Oz
