Be aware before coming to China that it is constructed of never-ending stairs. If you have an aversion to these steps, China should be avoided. Too late for me though. I am on the 4th floor of the apartment building which is really the fifth here. In other countries the 1st floor is 0 floor. Sooo...5 flights of stairs up and down at least 3 times a day there, then 3 flights at the school, multiple times. Everywhere we have gone has numerous steps or stairs to climb. I have never seen so many steps in one city!
The positive part is that my calves and thighs will be getting stronger. But, on the down side, my knees are quite frequently aching. 3 knee surgeries don't make stairs the most appealing sight. However, going up is easier on the knees than going down.
