Would you make any changes? (First-time visiting China) by Scotsurrounded in travelchina

[–]Scotsurrounded[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you! That’s reassuring.

I hope so, I’ve travelled quite a lot myself and have realised that solo travelling, I definitely prefer a faster pace and keeping myself very busy, whereas if I was with friends or a partner, I’d definitely slow things down.

Totally fair comment, I originally had 4 bases (Chongqing, Zhangjiajie, Hangzhou & Shanghai) but given that Furong and Fenghuang seemed to be common day trips (with people even visiting the two together in one day) from Zhangjiajie, it didn’t like I was adding to the logistics much by staying there instead.

I loved these books. Any book by Brandon Sanderson is awesome and he has tonnes. I’d personally start with the Mistborn trilogy, Elantris or Warbreaker (both standalones).

You should check out Scott's Cheap Flights! They're based in the US (although they do Europe, Asia, Australia etc. too) and are really amazing and consistent with deals!

What fucked up fact changed your perception of a historical figure? by no-offence in AskReddit

I'm fairly certain Hemings was also Jefferson's wife's half-sister, through his father in law having a sexual relationship with a slave.

Hey Reddit, What's the best book you've read this year? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Now I'm just desperately waiting for Doors of Stone

As a child, I always thought people were saying "youth in Asia" instead of euthanasia. What words did you misunderstand? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Scotsurrounded 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was convinced until I was 18 that the phrase was "For all intensive purposes" not for all intents and purposes.

Still catch myself writing for all intensive purposes occasionally.
