So next year in July, my mother will be travelling to China, India, South Korea, and Japan. She's not white (black African). I've heard a few mixed things about travelling while black. Some say they are surprised to see black people but the most they'll do is just stare at you whereas I've heard they can be quite hostile…

Maybe they would be better off paying for you to go to hospital for treatment rather than a joly to Asia
