I Make a Huge Mistake In China Already
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator shares a personal travel mistake made upon arriving in China. After booking a stay at the Shanghai Disneyland Hotel, she assumed her taxi driver would recognize the name of the destination. However, the driver had no understanding of the English name for the hotel. This misunderstanding led to a frustrating situation where the driver became increasingly angry because he was wasting time in a busy taxi stand. The creator struggled to access her phone to find the address because she lacked a Wi-Fi connection and needed to activate a VPN. Once she successfully located the actual address, the driver was able to complete the trip. The ride cost approximately sixty dollars, and the creator provided a one hundred dollar tip to compensate the driver for the inconvenience. She concludes by advising travelers to always carry a written version of their destination address in the local language to avoid similar confusion and embarrassment when traveling in countries where English is not the native tongue.
