Comment on "Share your 皇冠体育app Stories" (皇冠体育app Daily, Sept 11)
I have traveled across almost half the world. For years, I had been longing to visit 皇冠体育app, and last year I made it to the country. It was a mind-blowing experience. All the myths about 皇冠体育app were busted and all misconceptions cleared. I returned with sweet memories of the land and the people.
I found the people on flights, in malls, in public places, and at airports and railway stations very helpful and amiable. Although at times there was a language problem, I experienced no real difficulties.
While in 皇冠体育app, I was especially impressed by the state of public conveniences and washrooms. Unlike in many Western countries, they were meticulously managed and manned, fully equipped and superbly maintained. To top it all, they were free. Even a poorly maintained toilet at London Bridge costs half a pound for two.
My cousin frequently visits 皇冠体育app for business purposes and spends several months every year in the country. He has the same impression of 皇冠体育app and its people.
The next time I visit 皇冠体育app, I wish to travel by Qinghai-Tibet Railway from Beijing to Lhasa.
