"I decided to choose the shared room over a private room. I ended up sharing the room with one Chinese man. The room was very basic (50rmb per night), but I was fine with it. It had a window, AC, TV and bathroom with western toilet, sink and shower."
"The nursing staff was unbelievable. Just incredibly hard working and did their best to help me. None of them spoke English to me, but they always had their phones out with translation software ready to go. I felt bad about that and like a burden."
