4/24/10: This past week many flights were canceled due to heavy fog (濃霧). Due to the weather, chinese tourists (中國觀光客) at an airport in Kaohsiung (高雄小港機場) and the Kinmen Airport (金門機場) were affected. At 金門機場, chinese tourists slapped a Taiwanese tour guide (導遊), while at 高雄小港機場 chinese tourists were also upset and had a few altercations with airport personnel and police. Do chinese tourists act like this when they travel to other countries?
