Travel in China is much more comfortable than in India: Roads are modern, wide, and in good repair. Buses are comfortable and dependable, usually air conditioned, and not over-stuffed. Trains are clean and relatively roomy, with proper waste disposal. In fact, everywhere we went, even in the smaller cities, there was little evidence of the physical decay one sees in India. China’s infrastructure is modern and fully-functioning; power is reliable; water is plentiful;
在中國旅行要比在印度旅行舒服多了：現代化的寬敞公路保養得非常好。公車坐起來非常舒服，讓人放心，通常有空調，不會過度擁擠。火車也很乾淨，相對寬敞些，排洩物得到適當處理，即便在小城市，也幾乎看不到印度常見的破敗現象。中國的基礎設施非常現代，水電供應穩定又充足。
As an aside, I also noted the utter lack of suspicion against my dark skin color. Generally anywhere I’ve lived or traveled within the lighter-skinned world, I’ve sensed some level of reflexive fear or aversion to dark skin, some groupthink, subrational discomfort that usually persists below the awareness of those who possess it. Even when it’s not overt or aggressive, it’s nearly always there, a subtle anxiety. I’ve taken it as a given in the world. But in China, I sensed no such thing; this took me entirely by surprise. While the Chinese expressed a good deal of wonder toward us as Nepalese, their curiosity seemed untainted by primitive fears or unseemly stereotypes. Quite the contrary, it was surprising how many people simply related to India as the land of the Buddha, a figure clearly held in high esteem, despite whatever prohibitions there may be against religion.
順便說一下，我還注意到，他們對黑面板的人完全不存疑心。通常說來，大凡在淺膚色國家居住或者旅行，我都會感覺到人們對深膚色的人條件反射似的恐懼或厭惡，那些人下意識就會感到不舒服，表現出一種群體思維。即便不是那麼明顯或者帶有一種挑釁，可是總能感受到一種微妙的焦慮。對此，我已經習以為常了。但是在中國，我完全沒有這種感覺，這完全令我出乎意料。對於我們尼泊爾人的身份，中國人表現出頗多好奇，他們的好奇似乎不會夾雜著恐懼感或者負面的刻板印象。此外，還讓我吃驚的是有許多人把印度看做佛陀故土，儘管宗教在那裡是受嚴格禁止的。

China is an oriental countries, the Chinese girl, very warm, open, very westernized, and this surprised me.
中國是一個東方國家，但中國女孩非常熱情，非常開放，非常西化，令我驚訝不已。
