Well, which do you want? Authenticity or the Hyatt Regency? You don't have to be very smart to realize that going out into the world means accepting what's out there. If you don't like it, stay home.

Unless u r willing to stop being an ignorant American u will never get away from those tourist traps u hate so much!!!! get a life and really try to experience what travelling is all about!!

In China, staffs of those cool guesthouse do speak good english. 4. 0.0 guesthouses will do it for you... 5. this is unevitable, i always take some pills with me all the way. 6. i feel that too``` 7. trafic is the problem forever. but i prefer to do some hiking in the mountain area. well, thanks for you points, Ryan.

Local money changers and even the ones at the airport are a ripoff. ATM cards are probably the best way to convert money in Europe if you are from the USA or UK.

If you hate going abroad because they don't speak your language then travelling must be such a pain for you!... unless you only travel to Australia, USA, and former british colonies... I'll recommend you to watch this video of rugby player Seb Chabal (who plays for Sale btw): http://fon.gs/chabal That reminds me a comment on Tripadvisor of a New Yorker who said he couldnt stand the hotel he stayed in, in Martinique, because everybody was speaking french! A smart guy.. I agree with Kevin May, Valerie, Ray and Stuart.
