Fucking finally, ten years ago I had last minute changes and without internet access I took a whole fucking day walking miles and miles to find an hotel that accepted foreigners and only because it was very late and I offered to help them to fill the form on the computer

In rural China if you’re not a Han with local id card you can’t do anything. No access to internet points, can’t buy a phone card, can’t use ATM, can’t easily buy train tickets (only a specific booth can, not all of them) and so on

as a us citizen i would love one that was no locals. me being the local they allowed because they can have one. ok I jest but really its neat to meet people from other places.
