mr_blue_owl   10 #51 Posted July 22, 2006 Must emphasise that the " toilet story " , only applies to , " everyday " China. I would think where tourists go , you would find them pretty much like ours . Even in all-Chinese places , it's slowly getting better . I would say that most of the toilets are generally smellier than ours and a few of the , "normal" ones are really horrible .If anybody does visit China , just ty to use the ones in the hotel or in good restaurants . [ Plenty of MacDonalds around now in the big cities . O.K. for toilets , rubbish for eating ! ].  I lived in Hong Kong for 15 vears. I would rather die than use a public toilet there ugh! Been to Beijing a couple of times quite freindly people there I thought Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

sirglyn   11 #54 Posted February 6, 2007 Born and bred in the Kelvin and Shiregreen,been living in and around Tokyo since '75.They say that if you're white and want to know what it is like to be black you should go to live in Japan.The racism isn't overt but it's there.Most of my Japanese mates are blue collar and they are great but the corporate crowd give me the pip.By the way,if you like rock roll you should definitely come here.We have some great earthquakes.

Derek Clayton   11 #55 Posted February 7, 2007 I left Sheffield in 1971, ( Wednesdayite ) lived in S. Africa for 2 years and then moved to Canberra Australia in 1973, great place, still miss some of the things back in England. I could not live in England now though, I have 3 grown up kids and 9 grand children. I hope England can win back the ashes, they have been murdered this summer by the Aussies.

darrent   10 #59 Posted March 1, 2007 Why did so many people leave North Sheffield in the 60s to settle in Canada. Was it the steel industry or just a search for even greasier chip butties? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
