Yea, there was a deadly train wreck on the same tracks i was on, a week after I left....terrible.
I went to China my first time last September, then came back to the US, then to Germany/Holland...I changed my flights and came home early, hated Europe...loved China...interesting culture...

Don't judge a culture or people unless you've lived among their streets, sat at their tables and slept in their beds. I've traveled to countless places and heard and been with tourists/fellow backpackers who walk the streets of a foreign country and do nothing but critisize how meager, different, ugly and poor a place is compared to the states. I've also been with friends(not so much anymore) that found it amusing to look down on people thinking how much better they are than those whose country they traveled in.
Last few years when I've brought friends/girls with me to where I go I tell them that I can't make the world beauftiful, I can only show it to you how I see it, the rest is up to them. Arrogance and Pride can blind people to what's really in front of their eyes.

At the end of the day, people are still entitled to their opinion. Being in the service took me to a few places. Shitholes, just like in America. A foreign shithole is still a shithole.
