Chinese tourists through some foreigners' eyes

pandamonium (UK)

I think it depends on the size of the group of Chinese tourists and where they go. In Europe I see small groups of Chinese tourists (well they speak Mandarin) and they are polite and nice.

But in Thailand, I was coming down in a hotel lift when a Chinese group was checking in; as soon as the lift doors opened they pushed me back into the lift and crushed me against the wall. I had to go up to their floor with them and I went back down in the empty lift. Again as soon as the doors opened on the ground floor more Chinese people went into the lift and crushed me against the wall, so I had to go up with them again. This happened 4 times before I escaped from the lift by charging at them on the ground floor and getting through before they could push me in again.
