Sanya (三亚), China

The last few days I went to Sanya in Hainan (Most southern part of China). The scenery there was great, but, like most of China, very unhygienic and dirty. The taxis and buses were very cheap (5 yuan-taxi and 1 yuan-bus). ---1 YUAN=0.13 USD---The buses were all overloaded, 20 person bus can fit 35 people, so easy to breakdown. While walking on the street, suddenly, many taxi drivers come and shout "Where are you going?!" and blocked our way. China's soda is so weird, Fanta smells like the sewage there, and Coca-Cola tastes funny. Also, it's very hard and dangerous to cross the roads, no traffic lights. Inside restaurants, everybody smokes (UGH!)-even in the airport.
