I interpreted that the Italian fined you because you got on the train without making a reservation!
Well, I technically made the reservation, but the lack of connection meant the payment wasn't going through. I think the officer should understand that situation and be more lenient, especially to tourists who don't understand the system... to me, paying on the train is a legal and acceptable thing to do! Oh well.
China's beaches have worse natural environments
I saw some in Xiamen that had huge elevated highways over them lol (I was in a taxi above them)
There are some nice beach-ey areas but I'd never step foot in the water, absolutely.
Glad you are tagging along to hear more! I used to live in Vietnam so I have a near-China perspective too =)
Dear @mobbs !
I am not Vietnamese!
I live in a peninsula country next to China, close to Japan.😄
My friends know where I live!
I appreciate your kind reply!
Oh South Korea - I also lived there for 2 years XD
