You can find that in pretty much any hotel in the world.demi2004 wrote: ↑A number of years ago I stayed at a 5-star hotel in Beijing and they had a prostitute in foyer offering their services.
One of them tried to talk to me with an electronic translator as she didn't speak any English and it took me a few minutes to figure out who she is.
I thought it was pretty horrible.
Overall, people are very nice and friendly in China.

While not 50 countries, but I have stayed probably 1000 nights in a hotel all around the world and it is extremely common...now maybe not the foyer...just go to any hotel bar...especially one that is on the busy side. When I travel for work, I often eat at the bar as I like to people watch...let me tell you it is extremely common if you know what to look for. I have also watched in many hotels individuals escort out if they are too aggressive/assertive.

While I agree with #3's and 4, it didn't feel like there were that many people in Beijing, but I was in Tokyo a week and a half before. Having said that, Tokyo was organized, whereas Beijing was not. I've also been to Mexico City and it's chaotic, but nothing like Beijing.eblend wrote: ↑Dislike:
1. Too many people
2. Filthy public trains (city to city ones, not subways)
3. No concept of queue, don't bother lining up, people will just go in front of you
4. Very little concept of customer service.
5. No toilet paper in public toilets/squat toilets/no flushing of said squat toilets...poop mountains...

I 100% agree with everything here. That is exactly what bothered me when I went to China last year. It annoys the most when I see Chinese tourists in other countries ignoring lines, clearing their phlegm and spitting.heymikey wrote: ↑Dislike:
Spitting
Phlegm-clearing sound people make before spitting
Loudness / seems OK to argue loudly in public
Cars not stopping for pedestrians
Spitting
No concept of queueing
Food seems bland (it was in China that I realized that Chinese food we have in North America is actually Americanized)
Generally ugly modern architecture (outside Shanghai)
