    90% of these 'things to avoid' posts basically mean: 'I'm broke and didn't get a special deal.'

      Most of them are just about trivial, insignificant things.

        That's one thing, but have you ever seen posts 'warning against' taking a high-speed train?

          And then there are those 'warning against' airports, complaining that flights are grounded during a typhoon, calling it a waste of their time, and then causing a ruckus at the airport.

            I've scrolled through so many 'avoid this' posts that when I actually come across a positive one, I almost feel weirded out.

              Haha, I even thought I must have misread it.

                My city/region (IP location) has been so thoroughly criticized by tourists, I'm almost convinced they're right.

                    'Avoid Xi'an! No vegetables, no fruit, no supermarkets, no pharmacies!' Seriously, now when I see these 'avoid this' posts, I just long-press 'not interested.' I'm so fed up with them. Isn't the whole point of traveling to experience different local cultures and ways of life?

                      It was incredibly cheap! I've been back for a while but still can't stop thinking about the 8 super happy days I spent there.
